    Exquisite dinning in Galle Fort at the Old Dutch Hospital building. We had lunch in the corridor where seating is provided just outside the Cannon Bar and Grill. Because of the ongoing power cuts we were forced to eat outside the main restaurant. However, it was a blessing in disguise as we had a great view of the Indian Ocean while enjoying the lunch. The lunch consistently of Soup, Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Kottu and Sea Food Kottu was extremely delicious. Despite the power cut it was ready quickly. The service was good and courteous. The prices were reasonable. I can recommend this restaurant on the top floor of the Old Dutch Hospital building inside Galle Fort to anyone wishing dine in Galle.

    The food was overpriced, extremely disappointing and to top it off the manager didn't seem to be bothered by the problems we were facing and looked extremely arrogent. Some of the issues we faced - a vegetarian in our group was served a pasta with chicken, the pizza was like an off the rack base with processed-sliced cheese, the chilly chicken was half served with pieces that we're only bone, a devil's chicken dish was served with cold rice like it had just been taken from the fridge. The best parts of this place is the view and one staff member who was very understanding of our frustration but seemed helpless in doing anything about it (I've since forgotten his name).

    Had the devilled chicken pizza and loved it. Spring rolls was not worth the prize in my opinion. Banana smoothy was also good but was a bit thick.

    Just reopened restoring in the Galle Fort managed by wonderful family. I took prawn curry, garlic rice Sri Lanka style and maxed veg salad. Everything was fantastic, each dish had a sense of home cooking. And the view from upper floor of Dutch hospital adds 6 star to the dining. Highly recommended.

    Food was not good, we found out they overcharge you if you are American. We want to try The Coastal that is a floor below. Looked much more legit and the food looked really good. Also it was really hot and humid inside with only 1 fan.

  • 5/5 Erani S. 7 months ago on Google
    Had a good time with friends. It's in the first floor, so you get to enjoy food with a beautiful scenery with the sea. Food is OK, portion size is small. Mexican Chicken Fajita is OK. People serving are very friendly but not on top of the menu items as such. They even missed a kottu we ordered.

    When you come to Galle fort the major challenge is finding a dining place with a proper sea view. I think upstair of Dutch Hospital comes very handy in this matter. Out of the entire upstair Cannon Gives you an amazing dinning Experience with an amazing taste and a service.

    Nice place with ocean view. The curry was good. But the staff was unbeliavably slow! We were only guests and all actions took really long time!

  • 1/5 Ryle Farrel S. 6 years ago on Google
    A restaurant with a great location and view but lacks knowledge of service. Many of the items on the menu were not available including a drink like a lime juice. We were a party of 16 and they were unable to cope to the load. There was no system in the delivery of the food and they messed up the order. Whatever food they served was tasty and fresh though. However i need to mention that they have unacceptable food storage practices. I noted supplies all over the floor in the main kitchen.

    The Dutch hospital is a 'most see' in Galle. Nice colonial architecture, bars, shops and great views from the upper floor. We visited the Dutch Hospital twice: for lunch and for dinner. There are just two bars downstairs, but plenty of them upstairs. We chose Cannon and were rewarded by good food, friendly service and good desserts. As for the lunch, we chose banana and pineapple fritters - excellent. They also made good lassi yogurt drink. As for the dinner, we had fresh tomato soup and grilled chicken stuffed with herbs and peanuts. Very good. We also enjoyed superb views of the Indian Ocean and the Unawantuna Beach. The Cannon Bar and Grill is a great place to have a lunch and dinner!

    Very bad, they show you menu with less price and after the bill you get a higher bill. -two different menu with different price -motivation from staff are down

  • 1/5 Amit V. 5 years ago on Google
    Serving macaroni for penne and calling it a type of penne. I think it's high time , such outlets should stop fooling the guests. And the next, a big cockroach sneaking on to our table. We ordered a chicken fried noodles- average however the chilli paste served with it was good. The so called macaroni a.k.a penne in cheese sauce was simply white sauce. The indian spiced chicken was sour like a vindaloo but again served with garlic rice ,no garlic taste or flavour. Overall Food 5/10 Service 2/10, for the cockroach Value for money 4/10πŸ‘

    Good view to the sea, they had Carlsberg which tasted pretty good after 3 weeks with Lion lager. Didn't try the food. Friendly staff, dunno why so many complaints in the reviews.

    Lovely Staff! Great chicken wings. Cozy interior - Harbour view! We will be back. Thank you for having us.

  • 4/5 Heidi L. 4 years ago on Google
    Good view. I had only buffalo wings, a cocktail and a bottled beer. It seems that draught beer isn’t that popular in Sri Lanka. The wings were good but prefer it to be cooked with a bit spice. Drinks were predictable to me. Good service.

πŸ‘ The place is in galleface fort overlooking the ocean. If you like to enjoy the sea breeze while having your meals I would say that this is a great place to be. Gets easily crowded and therefore would recommend to go at a odd time than the usual lunch dinner times. Reasonably good food but personally...
