To be honest, we struggled with food somewhat in Colombo. Although we saw at least two McDonalds restaurants, we found it difficult to find other restaurants because they weren't well signposted, and there were only a few on the map we were given by our BnB.
We tried to eat at Barefoot, at 704 Galle Road, a funky café close to our BnB, and attached to a groovy clohes, fabric and souvenir shop. Unfortunately, on the night we went, it was closing early at 5pm, so we had to search further afield.
We ended up a short walk away, at the Hotel New Amirtha ("hotel" meaning "restaurant"), a South-Indian style pure vegetarian restaurant.
The restaurant was pretty basic to look at, but it appeared to be clean. It offered both dine-in and takeaway options, with a large supply of supply of pre-prepared snacks at the front door.
We opted for a dosai and daal, and some snacks. The dosai was served on a stainless steel platter, with different sauces served up for dipping. We rounded off the meal with tea.
It was a really nice meal. We hadn't eaten properly for about 36 hours, so we were pretty hungry. The food was fresh, and really yummy.
It was also really cheap: we paid LKR 230 (less than USD 2) for two people to eat. It wasn't the flashest place around, but the food was good and the service was friendly.
If you're in Galle, we'd thoroughly recommend Hotel New Amirtha, and we'd rank it 8/10.
