    Poonie’s Kitchen definitely did not disappoint. We had just done a quick food search on Google Maps and the images of the food here looked amazing. After a quick stroll and following the sign that leads you through a lovely clothing and jewellery store you end up in a tranquil open air courtyard with a fish pond and banana palms surrounding you. We ordered two Thali Salad’s (I added tuna steak for an extra 500LKR) and after a short wait they appeared. Wow the presentation of these was spectacular. After snapping a few quick pics we dug in. The flavours were so individual and delicious not to mention the tuna which was cooked superbly (not over cooked and dry like most places). Overall the presentation, flavour and size of the meal was outstanding and for food in the area of Galle I think it deserved ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ even though it’s not exactly local cuisine and the prices are more so around $900-1400LKR it’s still cheap in my eyes for the quality.

    A small restaurant in the courtyard surrounding offering delicious healthy food. To reach the restaurant area, you will go through a health store, clothing store, then there it is. Delicious garden bowl with honey, tumeric dressing. The sandwich also looks good, it comes with crispy banana chips. The courtyard area is so warm and chic.

    This little nook tucked away behind a store on Pedlars Street is a superb cozy location for a meal. Ordered a vegetarian spread and was not disappointed. From the presentation to the quality of taste everything was superb. Topped the meal off with a heavenly cheesecake. They have Thambili and Kombucha for the health conscious. The ambiance is eclectic and airy. The only caveat is be prepared to have cash for you transaction, they don't accept credit cards.

    Cool hidden gem behind a lifestyle store with a small but interesting menu. We had the slow roasted tomato and avocado toast which had a really good flavor to it and the stuffed pepper with Marsala chickpeas which was a perfect marriage between Italian and Indian culinary traditions. Ambiance is nice and service is good, even providing every table with free fresh drinking water (rare in Sri Lanka). Prices are fair (1000ish per dish).

    Great ambience. Relaxing and calm. Has so many eye catching objects and a nice juice bar. They also have a book shelf for a bit of light reading. The food is aimed at health. But the taste is average. Tried the Pho Noodpes and the prawn thai curry with rice. Drinks range is good. Has a nice Koi pond.

    Beautiful space with a very nice ambience, the food was delicious, very friendly staff. You should definitely check it out when you are in Galle Fort. 4 stars because the bread could be nicer and proper espresso-based coffee would be nice too.

    Nice place to have coffee or food in Galle. The best espresso in Sri Lanka I had for 2 weeks. The carrot cake is really tasty. There are no plastic straws and stuff like that, so I love the ecological vibe. Really healthy stuff too. All good around us looked delicious! Would come back for food if I hadn’t eaten shortly before.

    Great food, great ambience and a surreal place to sit and talk. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great food and service. Their salad thali and poonie's special drinks is to die for. Nothing comes close to their great sandwiches as well. Overall, a must visit brunch/lunch place in Galle.

    The food is super delicious and the presentation just gorgeous. Interior is just lovely as well. Had the best salad of my life here. Wish we had this place in our city! Definitely go there if you're visiting Galle.

👍 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...
