Eraeliya Villas and Gardens

Kicki & Nonna - wine bistro

Kicki & Nonna is Eraeliya Villas & Gardens’ newest venture, an intimate wine bistro on the Weligama coastline, created by Swedish friends Filippa and Moa.

Rooted in a shared passion for food, wine, and connection, the bistro brings together a carefully curated wine selection by in-house sommelier and Michelin-star chef Moa, paired with thoughtful, flavour-driven dishes.

With Filippa’s multicultural hospitality experience and a warm, personal approach to every guest, Kicki & Nonna offers more than a meal – it is a relaxed, genuine space for slow evenings, shared plates, and memorable moments by the ocean.

The Concept

The concept is centered around a carefully curated selection of wines chosen by our in-house sommelier, paired with dishes designed to complement each pour. Every element is intentional, from the balance of flavors on the plate to the rhythm of how an evening unfolds.

The atmosphere is relaxed and personal. Guests may enjoy wine and food inside the bistro or carry their glass out to the beachfront, where bean bags, open views, and ocean breezes create a quiet, private sunset experience.

In essence, Kicki & Nonna brings together good wine, thoughtful food pairings, and the natural beauty of Eraeliya’s oceanfront – a simple, genuine space for slow, memorable evenings.
