“ Delicious food, super filling and great portion size. The peach iced tea was not sweet at all but I think that was our fault for expecting it to be! Overall, great experience. Note they do take 10% service charge per meal ”
“ Had a lovely experience at Café Yesara in Galle Fort! The English breakfast was delicious and the café latte was just perfect. Such a cozy spot with beautiful charm and a peaceful vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Fort. ”
“ We were walking by and stopped to look at the menu. It sounded good and was reasonably priced (roughly $11 per person, including drinks). Not only was the food amazing, it was also artfully presented and the staff were so helpful and patient with us (we only speak English). I highly recommend this restaurant and would happily eat there again if I had the opportunity. I didn't get pictures of the chicken wrap I had, or the fish sandwich my friend had, but my friend's daughter ordered a hot dog, which look amazing. ”

“ This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Galle fort. Outstanding quality, excellent customer service, tasty food, warm welcome & polite staff! This place is beautifully decorated with plants and unique artwork. Next to the coffee shop they have an art gallery also which gives more vibrant to the shop. The menu has the usual breakfast options including avocado smash, poached eggs , smoothie bowls, omelettes and English breakfast. For lunch there are breakfast options plus salads, fish and chips, soups, burgers and sandwiches. On top of this there is a selection of Srilankan foods and waffles/pancakes etc.. so it’s a place that easily suits a breakfast, a lunch or a coffee date. Drinks are good too – the coffee is good quality (freshly grounded) and there’s a selection of nice juices. Consistently good and worth a try if you haven’t been before. ”

“ We‘ve been to quite a lot of places in Galle fort now and this one had the cheapest and most delicious coffee. Yesara‘s special healthy bowl was delicious! Even though I got jealous of my boyfriends Nutella pancakes I was happy with my choice. The atmosphere is super chill and a little art gallery is here as well. ”
