Ocean Views, Fresh Flavours & Easygoing Dining
Ocean Bistro by Starbeans sits on the first floor of the restored Dutch Hospital Shopping Complex on Hospital Street, inside Galle Fort, and reviewers keep coming back to it as the place to escape the midday heat with a proper sea view. Known for its Ocean Platter piled with mixed seafood, Ocean Bistro delivers grilled lobster and seer fish curry alongside a licensed bar with its own cocktail menu. It's a place to slow down over lunch and let the air conditioning and the view do the rest.
