Spoon's Cafe

Top choice in Galle


For authentic Galle-style rice and curry, this minuscule place (there are only four tables) can't be beat. Chef Shamil Roshan Careem hails from one of the Fort's oldest families and he prepares traditional family recipes. Save room for dessert; try his superb 'Silk Route Toffee'.
