The Gallery Café
In Geoffrey Bawa’s former office
About The Gallery Café
The Gallery Café occupies the former office of Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka’s most celebrated architect, and is run by the Paradise Road design company founded by Shanth Fernando. You dine on a verandah around a still courtyard pool, with changing exhibitions in the gallery. The menu mixes Sri Lankan and international dishes, and the black-pork curry and desserts have loyal fans. Visit for the setting as much as the food.
