All of the staff in this establishment were incredibly attentive. We never had empty glasses. Food was beautiful. We were a party of 10 and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend the butter chicken. A special thank you to Dinesh for the wonderful service.

We did not stay at this lovely property but ate in it 3 nights out of 7! Food was wonderful, beside the sea with turtles popping their heads up a few metres away in the waves. Great, friendly staff and freshly prepared food. Also one of the fab swings that goes over the sea is part of the property.

Really nice atmosphere in this restaurant. The drinks selection was very good I chose a minty lime and ginger chiller which was very thirst quenching. We then had some specialty crepes which were delish.

The Heritage Cafe & Bistro

Heritage Cafe & Bistro's humble beginnings were when a couple of very passionate nomadic travelers and lovers of excellent cuisine, decided to pack up from mainstream city life to endure a newfound passion in the quest to find "ultimate paradise." After t

Reviewed By Regi S

To me, the most striking aspect of the Heritage Cafe in Galle is the decor and atmosphere. The furnishings harken back to an earlier time, steeped in history and local culture. The food is tasty, but pretty standard. I remember I ordered a burger and they came back to me saying they had run out. I also remember being a little underwhelmed by the wrap, as I didn't find it value for money. I wouldn't write home about the bistro part of this establishmentI would go back, however to sit in the cafe, drink in the ambience and sip Ceylonese tea. I had an iced tea and sat for a long while, used the WiFi, had access to clean bathrooms and wrote post cards. I would definitely return to the cafe again, to stave off the afternoon heat over a refreshing iced tea.
