It is nice small boutique cafe and restaurant in the Galle Fort Area. The ambience is great, food was awesome. We tried chicken nuggets, fried rice and burger. All were nice, except the sesame chicken burger, which had more chicken than we wanted and it does not really stack up as a sandwich. Staff was nice, the interiors were nice.

Puppets ist definitely a restaurant to be recommended: Great food (lovely presented!), wonderful setting, nice ambiente and atmosphere, and very friendly service. Special thanks to Lasith and Ashen for your prudence, helpfulness and attention! We'll be back!

We had the chicken pizza and the ocean seafood pizza. Both were pretty tasty with a reasonable spread of topping. Expect the tourist tax given the location, these were 3500 each which is at least 1/3 higher than equal quality pizza in Negombo. Service was fantastic, the place had a reasonable vibe too.

Like a puppet museum inside, only serving breakfast up to 11:45, with seating inside, and covered seating outside. The muesli bowl was tasty, but disappointingly small, and with no more than a desert spoon of muesli cowering at the base of the bowl. Presumably muesli is really expensive around here, but this would have been suitable for a child. So I followed it with a Garden Salad for lunch, to find consistency in both flavour, and size - tasty, but small.

Very good restaurant. The restaurant staff was really kind and friendly, cared a bout our table, food was really good, flavours are clean and well-balanced, bringing out the ingredients. Thank you Ashen for your kind service!
