Galle Fort Eats🍽️

Spent 3 epic days soaking up the charm of Galle Fort, from colonial ramparts to ocean view breakfasts and legendary street eats. If you’re dreaming of spicy Sri Lankan flavors, moody coastal vibes and Insta worthy architecture, this is the perfect micro adventure. Top Spots to Visit in Galle Fort: 1. Galle Dutch Fort (Galle 80000, Sri Lanka, open all day) Start with a morning walk along these UNESCO-listed ramparts; bring an umbrella if skies look cloudy (it poured the whole morning when I went, but the moody photos are unbeatable). 2. Old Town of Galle and its Fortifications (Galle 80000) Wander into side alleys packed with ancient walls, chic boutique hotels, and hidden cafés. Everything’s walkable, even in a drizzle. 3. Fort Bazaar (Hotel, 26 Church St) Stay here if you crave chill luxury, friendly service, and daily chef surprises. Their guided heritage tours are pro tier. The small size means every staff member remembers your name. 4. Church Street Social (26 Church Street, at Fort Bazaar) Breakfast here: buttery bread sandwiches, crispy chips and fruit with the sound of rain on colonial rooftops. Pro tip: Ask for a window seat during gloomy weather, perfect people watching. 5. Pedlar's Inn Cafe (92 Pedlar Street) Legendary iced coffee, spicy chicken wraps and local seafood. Even a rainy afternoon feels magical in this cozy, art filled spot. Getting Around: Walk everywhere! Galle Fort is super compact. side note: most streets are cobbled and uneven, so sneakers > sandals. Eat Like a Local: Try the kottu roti or curry at any street-side eatery, but for Western classics + hip vibes, stick to the Pedlar's/Church Street Social combo. Weather & Money Tips: Rainy days make the fort moody and photogenic; pack a light rain jacket. Cash is king but most cafes accept cards. #gallefort #srilankafood #travelshorts #rainydaymood #fortbazaar
