Many Little Dining & Bar in Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula, offers a Modern Asian – Sri Lankan-inspired cuisine based on the authentic traditions of their Executive Chef, Gayan Pieris’ homeland. The highest quality spices form the fundamental building blocks of Sri Lankan cuisine and all the dishes at Many Little.
This local establishment is more than just a bar and restaurant; it’s a sanctuary of flavours, a hub of community, and a celebration of the local environment. Executive Chef Gayan draws upon his Sri Lankan heritage, utilising very specific origin spices to create his uniquely delicious flavours. All dishes are made from scratch with no artificial flavours or flavour enhancers. They also use an abundance of produce sourced directly for their Polperro Organic Farm.
These dishes are not only delicious but also come with the added benefit of the Ayurvedic influence of traditional cuisine. Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. Developed in India and Sri Lanka, the cuisine encompass fresh whole foods, & promotes wellness and life balance.
A riot of flavours, an amalgamation of influences – Sri Lanka, the beautiful spice island once known as Ceylon, is a rich melting pot of cuisines.
From savoury bites to hearty mains, the culinary offerings at Many Little are a reflection of the region’s finest produce. Each dish is a masterpiece, thoughtfully crafted to encapsulate the rich culinary traditions of Gayan’s homeland while incorporating contemporary twists that stimulate the senses and ignite the imagination.
Yet, Many Little is more than just a culinary haven. It’s a place where moments become memories. The name “Many Little” itself captures the essence of the place. It’s a reminder that the accumulation of small pleasures leads to something truly significant. It’s a celebration of shared moments, of indulgence, and of feeling completely at ease. It’s where celebrations find their home, where strangers become friends, and where the artistry of cuisine melds seamlessly with the art of hospitality.
