The Taste of Fresh Spice
Mealtimes at Spice Village are an unhurried affair. In fact, we urge you to
dawdle. Eat too quickly, and you miss the subtle nuances that spices take on
when they're absolutely fresh. Rush through your meal and you give yourself
no chance to enjoy the amiable atmosphere that's common to all our dining areas.
There are three of these. Choose from the rustic wooden tables in the dining
hall proper, or take a heaped plate out to the long verandah and enjoy your
meal al fresco, watching the kingfishers flit around the swimming pool.
Besides these. literally, is the historic Tiffin Room, where light snacks
are served all day. The rosewood chairs and tables here are restored antiques,
from a 100-year old restaurant in the next valley that sadly closed its doors
in 1995. Spice Village's popular cookery classes for guests are also conducted
here, most evenings, and you can pick up some tips while chef Velayuthan unveils
a few (but only a few) of his secrets.
