COCONUT GROVE

Seafood Restaurant €€

This restaurant, although a little more expensive than its neighbors, enjoys a certain popularity and is a must for the walk. The room is nicely decorated. The fish tikka and other tandoori dishes are particularly good. You can order a platter for 2 or 3 persons, including fish, prawns, lobster and squid, and choose the cooking. Traditional Kerala dishes are more affordable than seafood, which is priced according to weight... and a bit on the head of the customer.

WAVES

Indian restaurant €€

You won't be able to miss it: it is perhaps one of the nicest restaurants on the waterfront. The service can be a bit slow, but the menu is varied, with Kerala and international specialties, and will satisfy all your desires. It's a good place to sip a beer or a cocktail while admiring the view. This Beach Hotel establishment also houses the German Bakery, a bakery/pastry shop that makes it the ideal place for a gourmet break. Professional service. A pleasant place to stroll.

FUSION

Fusion restaurant and international cuisine €€

Without a doubt the best and most creative restaurant in Kovalam. It is located in the Beach Hotel II, near the lighthouse. The menu is divided into three parts: orient, occident and fusion. The "fusion" dishes are of course the most original. The creole grilled fish, served in orange vinaigrette with cumin potatoesis a delight. Soups, salads, vegetarian dishes or the traditional Kerala fish curry, not to mention the desserts, you will want to try everything! Discreet and attentive service.

MALABAR CAFÉ

World cuisine restaurant €€

Yet another restaurant on the seafront, offering the same menu as the others... The prices, here too, are rather high. The setting is pleasant and some (slight) efforts are made to decorate the place. Products of the day's fishing of course, but also delicious specialities cooked in the tandoor. Don't hesitate to try the butter garlic mussels or the kadai dishes, served in a hot cast iron bowl. The cooks are more inspired here than in the neighboring establishments... Friendly welcome.
