Galle Club

Sri Lankan & Coastal Indian Flavours

At Galle Club, dining is a holistic celebration of flavour, space, and time. Our restaurant pays homage to the often-overlooked cuisine of Sri Lanka, while also embracing the vibrant traditions of Coastal India. As the first of its kind in Ubud and Bali, Galle Club showcases the bold, diverse, and soulful flavours of these regions with integrity and care.

Enter the charming 36 seater restaurant and you will be immediately transported to the living room of a boutique hotel or an upscale gallery in the Galle Fort, the town that our restaurant is named after. The colonial meets tropical decor is inspired by Geoffery Bawa’s design ethos.The outdoor seating overlooks the charming Nyuh Kuning playing field and makes an ideal setting for a lazy afternoon lunch and cocktail or an energetic conversation of day to day Bali life with our Madras Filter Coffee.

With bold flavours, warm hospitality, and a setting that evokes a bygone era, Galle Club invites you to feast not only with your palate, but also with your eyes and your heart.
