Picked up a slice of lemon meringue, thinking it would be Rs.400-450. It cost a whopping Rs.785! The slice is the best you could get in Colombo, but not a reason to fleece the customers! The owner should be more practical in pricing. The restaurant is not air conditioned, which is a huge saving for the establishment.

Fantastic setting! The menu is varied and caters to most tastes. Food is lovely and the staff helpful and attentative. Lunch time doesnt have quite the same ambiance but service is faster. Service can be quite slow in the evening.

Nestled within a lovely courtyard / art gallery space, this was the first restaurant we visited in Sri Lanka, and it set the bar very high. Although one of the most expensive meals we had in Sri Lanka, the food ambience and service justified it. We ate there in the evening and the courtyard setting was lovely and food was... More

A little pricey, but worth considering it's gourmet food. It carries a good ambience, influenced by the unique architechture in interior designing of maestro Geoffrey Bawa.

Got the chance to visit this spot with my wife and some friends. The atmosphere is really cool and artsy. Paradise blends a modern European feel with a traditional Sri Lankan flare. The food was very good and the service was great. Be prepared to shell out some extra cash to eat here though. Their prices reflect a certain customer... More

Finally, we visited the Gallery Café and we were not dissapointed. It has great service and delicious food. The athmosphere is unique too with a cosy court yard.

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...
