Where to Eat in Kochi (Cochin): The Best Restaurants and Bars
A blending of several small villages on the southwestern coast created the current incarnation of Kochi (or Cochin), where sunset strolls, sampling fresh fish from seaside vendors and boat rides through the islands just offshore top visitors' to-do lists. Art centers showcase the traditional dance, Kathakali. European influences are seen in the 16th-century Portuguese-built churches and forts, while the mark of early Chinese traders is visible in the unusual fishing nets dotting the shoreline.

I really like this restaurant but the smell upon entering is very disturbing. Of course after some time you acclimate so you can focus in the very good food. Delicious curries, great banana steamed fish. Average fish soup. Fab coconut bread. Decent wine. Stick to local wine to avoid the huge tax.
Fun to watch the chefs through the plexi window.
Old world/outdated atmosphere. But, this is India.
Poured my own wine!
Ice creams over-sweet.

If you are craving for some simple western food on your trip this is a good choice. Presided over by an enthusiastic Frenchman you have a good choice of juices and simple meals including burger and chips, difficult to get in India! In the evening they have a barbecue. They have a kind of coffee machine, better than nothing. No alcohol license.

One of the finest Asian restaurants in Kerala serving great food from across seven Asian cuisines and set in a picturesque location and colonial ambience. We serve delicious dishes from seven Asian cuisines - Malaysian, Singaporean, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese. Our food is authentically prepared using the best of ingredients. We are situated in a heritage building in the premises of the legendary Cochin Club. The club is more than a 100 years old and has witnessed many significant events in the history of Fort Kochi. The restaurant is very close to the beautiful Fort Kochi beach. We invite you to visit the restaurant, enjoy the serene ambience and savour our delicious and healthy dishes.

We decided to stray from Indian food and came here for dinner. What a pleasant dining experience! The restaurant has a very nice open-air set up, a notch above the average restaurant around town. The service was attentive but not intrusive, with very pleasant and friendly staff. We ordered the papaya Thai salad, which came out very close to what we had during a trip to Thailand. The crispy pepper squid was very good also. The chicken wings with honey chillies sauce were very tasty and spicy (but manageable). No complaint either about the 2 dim sum, but we wished that the prawn dumplings had more prawns in there. The bill came out as a very good deal, given the nice set-up, the quality of the food and the excellent service.
This restaurant is not easily visible if you don't look for it. Keep in mind that it is inside Cochin Club, right across the street from St. Francis Church.

The stop at the buffet Momo was enjoyable. The choice is not large but enough. All food was tasty and fresh.
The best part of the dinner experience was the service. Our waitress Jessy was very approachable, friendly and very efficient. We were a big table of 8 ppl but our requests were served promptly and always with the smile.

we had breakfast here 3 times during our stay. there is a great selection of food and there is something for everyone.
Our only negative is that you order your eggs and have to wait for them to be delivered to your table. the delay meant I had finished my breakfast on 2 occasions before my eggs arrived. It may be better for the customer to order and wait for the chef to cook?
