We stumbled across this place whilst walking around galle old town and sat down for an iced coffee and a juice as the rain started to really pour. It was honestly one of the nicest iced coffees I had had (very fussy with my coffee) and my partners juice was so fresh and tasty! It was for this reason that we actually came back for dinner that evening after walking around for a few hours. To be honest, we literally survive by Google and trip advisor reviews as we have been travelling for close to a year now and Serendipity didn't have the best online presence. Compared to the very nearby and easily accesible surrounding restaurants, it is at the bottom in terms of rating (even though it's not atrocious). The thing is as a traveller or tourist you look to the best reviews to help with decision making...ALWAYS! Needless to say, the impromptu coffee and juice earlier on brought us back, and the special of tuna steak and my calamari with veg was absolutely delicious! We couldn't understand the rating so enquired and turns out that it changed management sometime last year, which is why the more recent ratings are way better but overall the older ratings bring it down. It probably needs a rebrand in all honesty because it's such a shame that the history of management makes it look unappealing to a tourist. The proof is in the pudding as we were the only guests there both in the day and night esp when everything we consumed was so good and so reasonably priced. Even portion size is amazing. There was one very odd thing about the place though and that is the very huge and oddly placed dining table that pretty much takes up the whole inside area. It didn't seem to fit the place and also, we didn't really want to sit inside at it mostly because it's a palace sized table and also because it genuinely looks like it's going to break and cause a hazard. The glass was warped and the wood is clearly being eaten away so it looked unsafe. It's just odd. The 2 of us sat outside on the lovely little terrace at an 8 seater instead. Would definately recommend giving this place a chance because the food and drinks were so good! Its a shame about the rating.
The food here is simply amazing! The food takes a little bit to be prepared but wow it is seriously the best meal we have had in a 3 week tour all over Sri Lanka! Wow!!!!!!
The restaurant is an arts cafe, adorned with paintings and wall art. The food menu is basic, but the taste is great! They could do with slightly better service. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is also moderately priced by Old Fort Standards.
This place used to have a lovely rooftop terrace. Now it doesn't, and that makes me sad. Lovely avocado tho!
it's a must visit place, the interior designing is very nice
