Chinese Dragon Café opens flagship outlet in Galle

Chinese Dragon Café (CDC), one of Sri Lanka’s most recognisable names in Chinese cuisine, continuing its legacy as a pioneer in Chinese cuisine and opened its latest outlet in Galle, marking a new chapter in the restaurant’s long-standing presence across the island. Located at 45, Colombo Rd, Kaluwella, just 300 metres from the Galle railway station, this new branch becomes the 10th outlet in the country. Chinese Dragon Café established in 1942 by a Chinese couple in Bambalapitiya, CDC has grown from a humble neighbourhood eatery into a trusted household name, with outlets in key urban areas including Mount Lavinia, Nugegoda, Rajagiriya, Pelawatta, Wattala, Kandana, Kaduwela and Jaffna. In 2021, the brand expanded internationally with its first overseas outlet in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The Galle opening demonstrates CDC’s commitment to bringing its signature Chinese cuisine to more regions across the island. Famous for dishes such as Hot Butter Cuttlefish, Seafood Rice in Banana Leaf, and a variety of Rice, Noodle, and Seafood options, CDC continues to offer the flavour and consistency generations of customers appreciate. Its bottled chilli paste has also become a household staple and is now sold in supermarkets. Chinese Dragon Cafe also caters to evolving customer needs through services such as free delivery, event catering, corporate meals for training and events and online ordering. Commenting on the opening, CDC Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gayan Fernando, said: “We’ve had many loyal customers from the Southern Province, and opening in Galle was a much needed step. We’re excited to serve the community and look forward to becoming a familiar name in the area.” With this new launch, Chinese Dragon Café reaffirms its commitment to expanding and sharing authentic Sri Lankan Chinese flavours across Sri Lanka.
