Excel Restaurants relaunches The Four Leafed Clover

Eksath Wijerathne, Group General Manager, Browns Hotels and Resorts/ Executive Director, Excel Restaurants

Stylish and serene, The Four Leafed Clover creates a charming setting to indulge in a hearty feast in the heart of Kirulapone. The Four Leafed Clover delights its patrons with tongue-tingling dishes that bring out the exquisite Italian flavours as well as the taste of rich Irish cuisine.

Divided into three distinct seating areas, The Four Leafed Clover provides a cheerful ambience where guests can unwind and enjoy a sumptuous meal. It is not just food lovers that are impressed — anyone with an eye for stunning architecture and interior design will admire The Four Leafed Clover too. 

While the exposed wood-interiors create the perfect cosy setting, the intricate murals that adorn the walls and eye-catching vintage photographs hung on the walls add a splash of vibrancy to the ambience.  The striking layered-chandelier made out of discarded glass bottles hung above the spiral staircase that takes the visitors to the next floor, is surely a showstopper. 

The outdoor dining space on the ground floor interspersed with potted tropical plants, sets the ideal place to enjoy al fresco dining. Baristas whip up delectable coffee-based beverages at the dainty coffee station on the ground floor. 

The Four Leafed Clover boasts three tastefully-decorated private dining rooms, which are ideal for private functions and casual meetings. Able to accommodate nearly 15 people depending on the arrangement, each room gives the exclusivity and the privacy needed to host a group. 

The rooftop terrace becomes an enchanting place at night where the city’s night birds sip on cocktails and lovebirds enjoy romantic candle-lit dinners.  Decorated with strings of fairy lights and lush tropical plants, the terrace has become one of the most sought-after places for dreamy marriage proposals and surprise birthday parties. 

Deliciously Italian and authentically Irish, the menu features an array of traditional Italian and Irish dishes made with the finest ingredients.  The traditional Lamb Shank, Lamb Chops with Rosemary Sauce, and Chicken Pot Pie are some of the all-time favourite Irish dishes served at The Four Leafed Clover. 

The revamped menu includes a range of authentic Italian dishes such as various types of pasta and thin-crust pizzas.  Tiramisu, Blueberry Crème Brûlée and Baked Orange Cheesecake are some of the sweet delights on the menu, a quiet treat for your sweet tooth.  There is a secret dish being served at The Four Leafed Clover, which is not on the menu — Roasted Bread Kottu — but will be prepared on the request of guests. 

Commenting on the relaunch of the restaurant, Browns Hotels and Resorts Group General Manager and Excel Restaurants Executive Director Eksath Wijerathne said: “We have introduced The Four Leafed Clover to offer our diners a one-of-a-kind dining experience inspired by traditional Irish and Italian cuisine.

Whether you are on a casual date, business lunch, or an intimate dinner with your loved ones, The Four Leafed Clover provides the ideal setting.”
