Heading To Fort Kochi? Hit Up These Cafes & Restaurants For Some Delicious Food
Kashi Art Cafe
Fort Kochi's most hipster cafe, Kashi Art Cafe is where you can mingle with like-minded artists and creative folks over coffee and sandwiches. Part cafe and part art gallery, the cafe is set inside an old Kerala-style bungalow which makes for some pretty neat Insta-worthy shots. Do try their duck roast and breakfast spread if you are feeling particularly hungry.
Qissa Cafe
If Kashi is hipster, then Qissa is as basic millennial as it can get with its pretty set up. Colourful seats, planters, high stools, and nooks for you to chill with your friends. The menu is simple and fun with desserts taking the top spot, especially the banoffee pie and chocolate cake. And everything's made in-house and fresh, so while you wait for you food, grab a book or just take some pretty pictures of the cafe.
Mocha Art Cafe
If you are in Fort Kochi, there's a high chance that you will be in Mattancherry too, and that's why this cafe it makes to this list. It's housed inside an old Dutch-style warehouse that's next to the synagogue and has an art gallery inside with vertical gardens all around. The menu is regular cafe fare but we hear you need to try their bakes from their in-house bakery. They have Russian-style pancakes for breakfast and seafood sizzler and steaks for lunch (or dinner).
Loafers Corner Cafe
With lots of greenery making its way indoors, the Loafers Corner Cafe is a casual dining place to gorge on some light food. Take a relaxing break at this cafe on Princess Street. Their grilled chicken sandwich is a must-try.
Pandhal Cafe & Deli
If you're looking for freshly-made global delicacies, Pandhal Cafe & Deli will satiate your cravings. It is located in an art gallery called David Hall. So, while you enjoy your pizzas, tacos, duck or BBQ dishes, you'll be surrounded by paintings. Their deli also has some freshly prepared baked babka, croissants, cakes and more.
