Tried the grilled fish platter &mdash; decent portion for the price, though not huge. Beachside deck chairs are a nice touch. Good spot if you&#39;re nearby and hungry.

Stopped by the gallery cafe mostly for the courtyard. Got a coffee and just sat there for a while. Quiet, not too crowded. The space itself is pretty nice, kind of artsy but not trying too hard. Coffee was alright, nothing special. Good spot if you need a break from the main streets.

The filter coffee was proper strong and fresh. Avocado toast tasted good too. Owner&#39;s a friendly guy. Solid spot in Fort Kochi for the price.

Tried the charcoal menu last night &mdash; the smokiness on the lamb chops was spot on. Chef&rsquo;s plating looked almost too good to eat, but honestly the grilled prawns stole the show. Wine list had a decent Malbec that paired well. Service was quick even though the place was packed. Slightly pricey but fair for the quality.

The ghee dosa smelled a bit off, kinda like old oil. I told the staff but they just brushed it off 😕 The bhatura was decent though. Just wish they&rsquo;d taken the feedback better. Might skip the ghee items next time.

Right at Vyttila Junction, parking is easy even in basement. AC seating is decent for a quick bite. Nothing fancy but does the job.

Been coming here for years now. Patties are always tender, toppings fresh every single time. One of the most reliable burger spots in Kochi, hands down.

Been coming here for a while now. The veggie burger&#39;s still decent, coffee&#39;s consistent too. Just don&#39;t be in a hurry, service can drag when they&#39;re busy. But for a quick bite any time of day, it does the job.

The pork chilly starter was the move&mdash;Aishwarya insisted we try it and she was spot on. Spicy, tangy, and paired beautifully with a crisp gin and tonic. Service like hers is rare; she checked on us without hovering. Only hiccup was the mains took a bit longer than expected, but the starter kept us happy. Solid spot for a relaxed dinner.

Good dosa and filter coffee, right inside Bharat Hotel. Quick service, no fuss. Decent spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a proper South Indian breakfast.

Stopped by for a meal and honestly the view over the water is the main thing. Food was decent, nothing crazy but it did the job. Place felt a bit too quiet though, like almost empty. Maybe just the timing. If you&#39;re around for the scenery, it&#39;s fine.

The Kanjirottu Karimeen was really good, and the Kalanchi Rassalam had that nice tangy flavour. Staff were polite, didn&#39;t have to wait long for the bill either. Sitting by the lake made it feel calm, not rushed. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, but for a casual meal it was fine.

The honey-glazed pork and dragon chicken were both solid picks. Sweet and spicy hit the right balance. Service was quick too, which I appreciated.

The biryani here still hits the same as it did years back. Rice is fluffy, masala is well balanced, and the fish curry meal is solid too. Portion size is generous for the price, though it&#39;s not cheap. But honestly, the taste makes up for it.

The masala dosa was so crispy and the chutneys were on point 😋 just wish the portion was a bit bigger.

The thali here is such a solid pick when you&#39;re craving something veggie and easy on the wallet 🌱 Spice level was just right&mdash;flavourful without making me reach for water. Place is tidy too, kinda cute inside for a quick Insta story. Wish the portions were a bit bigger though, I was still peckish after. But for the price, can&#39;t complain much.

The colonial setup here is quite something&mdash;sat outside watching the boats drift by while sipping a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Fish curry was the star, rich and tangy, paired well with the wine actually. Staff let us linger over drinks without hovering. Only minor gripe, the outdoor fans could be stronger. Still, a solid spot for a relaxed evening.

The chilli pork and chicken noodles were really good, big portions for the price. Service was a bit hit or miss though, one time we waited ages. Still a solid spot for a casual meal.

Went for the lunch buffet last week. Good spread honestly&mdash;got some proper Kerala dishes plus a few Chinese items which was unexpected. That eggplant starter though, really well done. Desserts were okay, nothing crazy. Staff kept checking on us which was nice. Only thing, window seats go quick so come early if you want the view.

Service was friendly enough, but we waited way too long for our food during the rush. They did let us customize the order though, which was nice. Portion size was decent for the price.

Good masala tea and quick service. Nice spot to grab breakfast before the ferry. Nothing fancy but does the job.

Stopped by for a few drinks and some snacks. Place is quiet, almost too quiet honestly. But the food was decent, and the drink menu had a good spread. If you want a chill spot to just sit and talk without shouting, this works. Just don&#39;t expect any vibe or energy here.
