The restaurants at the Casino hotel have
become institutions for Cochin's food lovers. If you feel a need to temper the
exotic with the familiar, The 'Tharavadu' is the place to begin. It serves an
extensive buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your first breakfast in Kerala
could be good ol' scrambled eggs, your lunch roast chicken and a shrimp salad,
your dinner a fiery squid curry and appams ( fluffy rounds of fermented rice
and pulses, the traditional accompaniment to Kerala meals). The range of Indian
and Continental cuisine is vast.
Tharavadu, incidentally means traditional cottage (the 'u' is almost, but not
quite, silent. But don't worry too much! Only a home grown Keralite can bend
his tongue around the intricacies of Malayalam pronounciation.)
The speciality seafood restaurant, Fort Cochin, is our pride and joy, perpetually
popular, though it is open only in the evenings.
Good Housekeeping called Fort Cochin "one of the most renowned seafood
restaurants in India". Eating here is like diving off a springboard into
the flavours and textures of food throughout Kerala.
Rather than a daily menu, a trolley contains the catch of the day, straight
off Cochin's fishing nets. You can expect king prawns, lobster, Indian salmon,
snapper, pomfret, squid, mullet, seer fish and more. Once you've selected
your fish, you get to decide how it's cooked - whether stir-fried in the spices
of the East, steamed, baked, or poached, and served with the famous string
hoppers, rice or naan.
