Walk to Hla Myanmar near People's Park. This simple restaurant is a reliable spot for local Bamar curries. You can point at the dishes you want, making it an easy and authentic dinner choice after the sun has set.

Head to The Marina for a drink or late-night seafood. It is open until 22:15, providing a relaxed end to the evening with a view of the park area.
Local tip
Kandawgyi Nature Park is a peninsula, so you will have open views to the west. Check the sunset time for your specific date, as it shifts slightly throughout the year.
Check before you go
- Kandawgyi Nature Park is open until 18:00. Arrive before sunset to secure a good spot.
- Hla Myanmar is open from 10:00 to 19:00. If you are dining later, The Marina (open until 22:15) is a safer bet for a full meal.
