We saw this little restaurant and thought we would try it for some local Sri Lankan food for dinner and we were not disappointed we had prawn curry ( we actually got 5 curries, 4 vegetable and 1 prawn which was amazing) and a spicy vegetable kottu which was the best we ate on our trip. We could even see into the kitchen and watched on interestingly as we saw the wife of the duo cook our food. Would definitely recommend a visit

It can be hard to get the genuine SrI Lankan experience in Galle, like many other ‘hotspots’ across the globe, they tend to be serviced by tourist-only focused restaurants. That all changes with the unassuming Cafe Punto, just outside the main Galle tourist thoroughfare but still on Peddlar St so central. I’ve been to Galle a number of times and I’ll always come here for the best Kottu Roti in town and to spend time with the most welcoming, humble family within the Fort walls. Tonight we also had the prawn, dahl and paratha which was utterly delicious. This is the sort of place where your small spend (certainly compared to other nearby well known tourist restaurants) really counts and you can always be sure of a warm welcome and great food.

Wife and i went in due to previous recommendations. One minute this small place is empty, then once a couple of tables are occupied it seems to encourage others who are walking round in circles around the Fort unable to make a decision. Due to the very quick service it can empty again just as quickly.
Good Khattu. Wanted to have our favourite Sri Lanka dish once more before we left and this was our last night. A little dish of chopped chilli so we could both add to ensure it matched both our tastes.
We had the bannana lassi and the mango lassi to accompany it and that was 👌 perfect.
Very reasonable prices.

We have just come back from a extremely tasty meal at this small restaurant .The chicken kotthu was the best we’ve had in our month long trip round Sri Lanka and the curry & rice sooooo good.
Everything is cooked to order so the vegetable are fresh & light.
The family who run Punto are friendly & professional
Thank you we will be back

Great little place sandwiches between all the larger, touristy restaurants. We found it whilst looking along the street for a place that wasn't overpriced.
The menu is not too large and has a good mix of western and local food. We opted for the club sandwich and a mixed salad. The club comprised chicken, cheese and fried egg. The salad had lettuce, cucumber, tomato, carrots along with fresh parsley and pineapple. The latter two, with a slightly sweet and peppery vinaigrette made for one of the best salads we've had in Sri Lanka.
Wish we had time to return to try the local dishes.

Small place in-between all the bigger and "flashier" places inside the ford.
We went in for lunch without reading any reviews.
Kitchen is run by one lady.
Very tasty food. Had a calamari curry which was perfect and not spicy.
Also the calamari noodles were very tasty.
If you're looking for something a little more local, reasonably priced. This is a good place

Thoroughly recomend this little cafe. The family here work hard to cook amazing food at great value. We enjoyed it so much we went a second time. We ate vegetable curries with the most delicious roti I ate in Sri Lanka, fish and chips and cheese and egg kottu, the salty lassi was perfect too.

Once we got over the stern face of the chap serving, which was so rare in our whole month tour of Sri Lanka we had a great cheap, fresh, tasty meal prepared freshly by the lady in the kitchen and the guy who had just served us.
We went here three times as I loved their chicken fried rice and my husband liked their curry.
By the second and third night the chap lightened up a bit so don't be put off, go in and have something to eat!

The worst noodles i ever had, no taste whatsoever. I ordered noodles and they brought me fried rice, i tasted it and realized they brought me the wrong food. I returned it and asked for my original order. The noodles came quickly but were really bad. No taste, really bad. Probably the worst one i ever had. I expected more due to good rating here. Total disappointment.

One of the best options for great Sri Lankan curries and local food at non-tourist prices in the heart of Galle. Thoroughly recommend the chicken curry with dahl and roti. Very enjoyable meal in clean restaurant with friendly service.

Very good food in an atmospheric little family-run restaurant in Galle fort. Staff is attentive and helpful and prices are reasonable (actually really good compared to other places within the fort area). Plus they charge no standard 10% service fee.
Go here for dinner, you won’t regret it.

The food here is absolutely amazing - so fresh and delicious. By far the best fish curry we ate in the whole of Sri Lanka - without a doubt! This is a must try!
The family that run are also so lovely and very welcoming. Wish we could eat here everyday!
