This February, immerse yourself in a world of culinary wonders and festive experiences at Gili Lankanfushi. From Japanese artistry and magical cocktails to romantic celebrations and festive dinners, February is made for unforgettable moments. Here’s what awaits you:
By The Sea Special: Catch of the Month – Ebi
Available throughout February at By The Sea
This February, By The Sea presents an exploration of ebi – the Japanese translation for “prawns”. Across a series of thoughtfully curated dishes, fresh, succulent prawns take centre stage. Each dish prepared with precision and artistry to reveal a different expression of their natural sweetness and delicate flavour. Whether savoured as a moment of personal indulgence or shared over lingering conversations, this seasonal journey reflects an authentic dining experience that celebrates exploration and creativity.
Cocktail of the Month: Madhoshi
Available throughout February
A spell in a glass, inspired by vivid crimson seeds prized for their striking beauty and depth of colour. This cocktail is a vibrant blend of gin, elderflower liquer, rose, pomegranate and strawberry. Finished with a shimmer of sparkling wine, Madhoshi is a celebration of colour, aroma, and indulgence. Sip slowly, savour the vibrant notes, and let the moment linger.
Ice Cream of the Month: Strawberry & Balsamic
Available throughout February
Sweet, sun-ripened strawberries meet the rich intensity of aged balsamic, creating a perfectly balanced harmony of flavour. Blended into creamy ice cream, each spoonful unfolds slowly, offering an indulgent, memorable taste that lingers on – a sweet reflection of passion and elegance at Gili.
