Savour the pulse of Galle’s morning markets before transforming bounty into Sri Lankan masterpieces. A chef-guided culinary pilgrimage from spice stalls to the stove at The Fortress Resort & Spa.
Dawn awakens Galle’s vibrant bazaars with heaps of ruby chillies, glistening freshwater prawns, fresh fish and fragrant gotu kola, as your Fortress chef navigates the throng, sharing secrets of vendor barters.
Back in the kitchen, hands delve into mortar-and-pestle alchemy: grinding roasted curry powders, folding coconut into fiery fish curry, and steaming golden rice complemented by mallum greens. This sensory ritual captures the island’s low-country essence; bold, layered flavours born from earth and sea, plated for an intimate feast amid ocean breezes.
The Fortress Resort & Spa infuses luxury with premium ingredients, expert tuition laced with family lore and seamless transfers. Ideal for epicurean couples, foodie families or flavour questers.
