This is a must visit place when in Colombo. It is got an vintage feel, an old traditional house converted into a Gallery come cafe. The service and food is very good, but the pricing is a little on the higher side for Colombo standards. The menu includes a cross section of global hits. Try it once...

Great food (not cheap for Sri Lanka, but excellent value if you think about what you'd pay elsewhere), wonderful service and a stunning restaurant that's an experience in itself. Their attached shop is also fantastic.

We had black pork curry and tuna with mozarella salad and both dishes were delicious and perfectly cooked. The service is great and very professional for Sri Lankan standard. The athmosphere is lovely, a hidden courtyard in bustling and sometimes chaotic Colombo

Although ambiance was nice in Colombo, waitstaff was in-attentive and had rude mannerisms to many of the tables including ours, meal was unmemorable as we were already planning what to do next.

A lovely restaurant but a little disappointed by the food after hearing great recommendations. Service was good, cinnamon ice cream amazing, entrees good, mains quite average. However, this was my first visit and I will go back to try other options again.

This cafe and art gallery highlights the quality design and architecture you can find in Colombo and creates an excellent ambience for enjoying a meal. I had a prawn curry which was interesting and not too large. It is enjoyable to sit in this space, admire the pottery and the detail on the tables and around the gallery. We sat... More

I was returning to The Gallery Cafe after 10 years and was treating a friend to dinner so hoped it hadn't changed & I wasn't disappointed. The food, service & ambience are all fantastic & I will definitely return again. My only complaint, was that the Singapore Sling wasn't good, but I guess that's my fault for ordering one outside...
