The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Have the prawns with rocket mayonnaise for starters, and the fettuccine with lobster and prawns , they’re amazing! The service was good and very kind!

Ted Patrick Boglosa

Don't forget to take the iconic picture of the Gallery Café! The food is really good. The desserts are divine, especially the passion fruit meringue pie !

Noah Weiss

Awesome vibe with great outdoor seating , and some of the best higher end Sri Lankan food we had. The blackened pork lived up to the hype.

Andrew Dunsmure

Excellent venue. Real cool, intimate vibe. Cocktails are exquisite and the chocolate and espresso fondant is to die for. Any trip to Colombo would be incomplete without a visit here!

The first time I tried pork with a curry —black curry ! Wonderful margaritas and truly the best ambiance in Colombo. Definitely a must!

Jingxiao Lu

This is a great place with nice atmosphere and great food. I am glad my only dinner is spent right here, and it could be a great place for dating.

Paula Freire

Beautiful place!!! Very good to chill and chat with friends. Dessert options seems to be very good. I had a vegetarian crepe and it was ok.

Yigang Huang

Really nice location. The food is nicely done and a bit classy . Drinks are quite standard considering the prices. Perfect for dates or intimate gatherings

Malka Siriwardana

Prices are bit on the higher side but one of the most ideal places for a dinner date. The decos and lampshades with pork and wine makes it perfect.

Try the black pork curry . The side dishes complement the pork so well ; the rice is beautiful and fluffy. Quite overpriced but the service and ambience is nice.

miztin

This restaurant is nicely laid out, with Geoffrey Bawa desk, gallery , pond , outdoor seating and amazing cutlery drawers.There is also nice souvenir shop.

Niket Desai

Superb interior which is darker and has cool all over it. The house drinks are a miss, go with a classic or wine . Black Pork Curry was great, and get a dessert .

Maram AlTurki

Anna Lockhart

Probably the best restaurant in Colombo! Tasty soups . I loved the crab and lime&soda I had! And they've got a great designer souvenirs shop.

Moonchild

They have really nice jazz Sundays. It's a nice place to just relax in a garden area; people watching is fun here too. Only tried their sandwiches which were nice.

JJ Akin

Have a Hendrick's gin and tonic . It's lovely about 5:30 with very few people.

Kevin Devine

Beautiful oasis in Colombo. Perfect for a lazy lunch with excellent desserts . Nice history to the place and cool shop and gallery .

YAMU.lk

The desserts are consistently excellent - except for the bread pudding which is best avoided. Chocolate nemesis all the way! Lime meringue pie also good.

Julien Chevreau

Great setting, great whine, great food. Super friendly staff . Prices are on expat standards.

Laura Marín

Super nice place and good food. Not typical Sri Lanka dishes but the atmosphere was incredible. Also art gallery .

Tawseef Khan

Great ambiance and location. You will enjoy the environment and service. But the food quality and price may not be for everyone.

Matthew Valley

The black pork dish was so tasty. The interior of the resturant is so beautiful.

Julian Hand

Good coffee , decent modern Lankan food. Very trendy , nice design. Slow service for the prices (high)

Donald Steel

Don't leave without having the passion fruit meringue pie which is world class . If someone gets the last piece, push their chair over and grab it.

Meesham Alaan

Just Marvelous place if you wanna do a quick lunch or coffee in the city without the feeling you are in the city

Hayah M

Signature black & white decor of the legendary SriLankan architect Jeffrey Bawa accentuates this cafe . Super Chic ! but nobody cares if you walk in with your Bata slippers either.

Anthony Stanyer

This is place is just wonderful. The food. The ambiance. The service. A little pricy but worth it!

Anthony Stanyer

A great place and the ambiance is very authentic ! Try the Ginger chicken !

Prashan Muthugala

Food is tasty ambience is good! A little over priced though considering the fact that there aren't any airconditioners as well . So it can be sweating :P

Qadir Saheed

Night time candlelit tables are the best!! And their desserts are a must have. #food #amazing #lanka #romantic

Amanda McKinsey

Amazing. Tasty food. Great service. The only place in sri lanka where I have experienced good service .
