Trip Itinerary
01Rustic Guide’s Colombo food tour starts from a once well-known point which is rarely known by the public nowadays. It is an old English building with elegant architecture. You can take a walk around and see the architecture and the building prior to Colombo food tour. We will start walking down the main street which is well renowned for its immigrant foods. Yes, obviously, we will stop at several hidden places down the main street to taste those food and sweets.
02Next is our most unique thing in Colombo food tour, the market tour. It helps you understand the local food culture and the way of life in Sri Lanka. That is why it is a must-have on a food tour. Here you will get a detailed understanding of what we consume on a daily basis.
03After the Market tour, on our way to Kayman’s gate, we will stop by a street food stall to taste some hoppers which are rarely found anywhere else. Kayman Gate was an entrance to the former Colombo Fort located at the foot of the Wolvendaal Hill in the Pettah district of Colombo, Sri Lanka. A historic freestanding bell tower still stands at the site, now at the intersection of Main and 4th Cross Streets
04The red mosque is a well-known monument of Sri Lankan Muslim Community (Sri Lankan Moors) in the pettah market which is our next destination. From there we start to walk towards our next stop to taste real-Authentic Sri Lankan (Sinhalese) food.
05Passing the old Cargill building we are gonna reach to the oldest building in Pettah, The Dutch hospital. once home to an actual hospital and now a very successful business shopping precinct. Dutch hospital is a great place to sit and taste some drinks leisurely after some shopping in the fancy shops.
06Our last but, the most significant destination of entire Colombo food tour is Galle Face Green. It is a place where you can try lots of Sri Lankan and Asian varieties of food including, Kottu, Fried Rice, prawns and masala wade and roti with some mouth-watering dishes.
