duguguirenThe medium-rare steak was a little tough on the edges but just tender and juicy in the middle, better than many beef dishes in Lanka that tasted like beef jerky; the pizza was a bit disappointing, it was small but you could tell as soon as you tasted the crust that this was not a pizza shop that was just filling up the numbers; the coffee tasted very average, probably because of the beans; the store has some unique designs that emphasize individuality, which adds a sense of romance to the meal.

CD云上This restaurant is very close to the lighthouse, just a few minutes' walk. Galle is usually the end of the Sri Lanka trip. The decoration is OK, with a Mediterranean style. The boss is from Guizhou. The dishes all have chili, so the dishes are very suitable for our appetite. 4 adults and 1 child, ordered 6 dishes and 5 drinks, and the total cost was about 11,000. It's not cheap. But it's equivalent to eating foreign food in China. Finally, I have to say that the taste is really good.

Sil瓦Time will pass very slowly in Galle. The Galle Fort was built by the Portuguese and then reinforced by the Dutch. This old city combines the traditional European and South Asian architectural styles. It is said to be the most expensive place in Sri Lanka. The fort is very close to the train station and bus station. If you live in or around the fort, you can walk or rent a small electric car to play in Galle. There are many cafes in the fort. I recommend a bar called Ropewalk. There are many new cocktails. You can try it! There are two spas in Galle, Ceylon, one near the exit and one in the old city. The one in the old city has a spa, which needs to be booked in advance. Both of them have discounts. If you buy more than 30,000 rupees and buy one of their promoted products, you can get a small gift package. There are 6 small samples in the package. The branch in Colombo does not have this discount! To see the high-pitched fisherman, it is in the town of Katugoda, about 20 minutes by car. But don't wait until the sunset to go, people will also finish work and go home. It's better to go early to take pictures. But they will only go up if the price is agreed upon, otherwise it will just be an empty rod. It's one price to take a picture of the fisherman, and another price to go up by yourself. Finally, I have to recommend a restaurant. I personally think it's much better than Dutch trails in Negombo, black&white! It's on a beach about 15 minutes' drive from the ancient city. There are also a lot of tourists there. The restaurants here are all on the beach, and you can experience playing with sand while eating. It's very comfortable to sit there at night, and you can see the stars when you look up. The seafood here is very fresh, the seasoning is also good, and the cocktails are also strong. It seems that there was a local event on the day we went, and there were many locals. We went to join in the fun, but we didn't expect to be stuck on the street and it was difficult to get out... Lesson: Don't join in the fun when there are many people, and return home the same way! You can take the seaside train from Galle to Colombo. It takes about 2-2.5 hours, not too long.

加菲猫rickUnbeatable lake view, you can feed squirrels, attentive service, we shared three meals among four people, and the boss divided it into four portions when serving. At the end, he also gave us four ice creams, which were super sweet. Next time I come to Lanka, I will definitely not miss this place.

里士满闲人Galle, this place name always reminds me of the Caribbean Sea This ancient city on the Indian Ocean In terms of beauty, it is no less than the Caribbean Sea With a history of more than 2,500 years, Galle was the most important trade center in the world during the colonial period It integrates Eastern and Western cultures and aesthetics, presenting a strong "mixed" temperament Literary and gentle And the storms in the rainy season on the southwest coast add a bit of wildness to it 🚌Take a bus from Tissa to Matara, and arrive in Galle after 3 hours of wandering On the car running along the Indian Ocean, I passed by the most beautiful scenery in the world The happy faces of the young men in white Sometimes it was cloudy, sometimes Under the clear sky, the waves of the Indian Ocean crashed against the shore. The dilapidated houses and the luxurious resort hotels stood side by side, and the visual effect was very impactful. 🕶️After arriving in Galle in the afternoon, I was reluctant to stay in the B&B for one more minute. I hurried out to experience the unique charm of the ancient city of world cultural heritage. The style of Galle is also the slow and leisurely style of Southeast Asian countries. But it is more delicate than Saigon, brighter than Chiang Mai, and wilder than Bali. I have seen the shabby streets of Lanka for many days. This ancient city is very eye-catching. There are surprises in every alley, as if I were in Europe, full of affection, beautiful and elegant. 🛕The seaside is another style. The ancient city wall by the Indian Ocean Battery, Flag Rock, Fortress, Church After a century of colonial artillery fire and changes in the times, it stands tall When the crowds of tourists were enjoying the beautiful scenery with great interest Instantly, they felt the vicissitudes of life and the changing of the world Watching the sky above the sea change from blue to dark gray Large black clouds wrapped in rain slowly moved, and they hadn't recovered yet The heavy rain came in an instant, and we quickly ran to a church to take shelter Because we couldn't enter the church in shorts Then we stood at the door and saw the power of nature ⛈️The violent storm from the Indian Ocean raged for more than 20 minutes After it calmed down, we continued to visit the ancient city to find a restaurant for dinner When we just sat down on the second-floor terrace of the seaside restaurant Ready to enjoy the Indian Ocean under the night sky The violent storm hit again This night is too unforgettable After the baptism of strong winds and waves, looking forward to good luck There are many beautiful homestays, luxury hotels and restaurants in the ancient city, some are affordable and some are fine dinning Most of them are renovated from century-old houses, simple and luxurious, with a full sense of design Galle has become another holiday destination in my mind that can replace Chiang Mai I must come again and spend 10 days here 🤍 ✔️Pedlar’s inn café A shop on the ancient city street, a combination of restaurant and jewelry store, with a good artistic atmosphere ✔️Pedlar’s Corner Café The second-floor terrace overlooks the Indian Ocean, and the view is great #Good place for outbound travel #Recommended niche free check-in places

_TI***2aAn absolute gem by the Bentota River! The breathtaking view sets the stage for an extraordinary dining experience at Malli's. The restaurant itself is a marvel, and the food is nothing short of outstanding. The Prawns Curry, in particular, stands out as the best I've ever had – a burst of flavors that left a lasting impression. Malli's is a must-visit for those seeking a perfect blend of stunning ambiance and culinary excellence.
