Galle Restaurants & Dining

Where and What to Eat in Galle

While a majority of the local population is Sinhalese, there is an interesting minority living in the fort areas. They are known as the Sri Lankan Moors and are descendants of the Arab seafarers who traded at the port of Galle and eventually settled down there. This is reflected in their food.

Rampart Hotel

The Rampart Hotel restaurant has a great sea view along with a good meal. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It is a relaxing place to enjoy some good food, although being somewhat expensive it's not very popular with budget tourists. Still, if you are looking for a peaceful and calm ambience along with a great seascape this is the place to go.

What to Eat in Sri Lanka

Both fiery and mild curries are equally famous as is the constant use of freshly grated coconut. Naturally the local taste is an acquired one although there may be many local delicacies that you will enjoy right off the belt. Read More...
