The best bars and cafés Kochi

A must-see place in the neighborhood. This contemporary art gallery-cafe serves breakfast in the morning (a great breakfast, with omelet, fresh fruit, homemade cakes and excellent fresh coffee) and live music in the evening! Warm cuisine, daily changing specials and good value for money. The place exhibits works by local artists. In short, a great place to start the day (ask for the list of events, which includes the possibility to learn to play an Indian classical instrument)!

A small tea room very popular with travelers and locals alike! The breakfast offered is copious: eggs of your choice, beans, toasts, fruits and coffee or tea. The menu offers a wide range of different teas. Sweet and savory snacks are offered all day long. Daily homemade dishes, which change according to the inspiration of the kitchen, are on the menu for lunch. The room is cozy with wooden furniture, a cozy atmosphere and teapots scattered here and there. Recommended.

In a hushed and elegant atmosphere, the Malabar House team delivers its selection of the best Indian wines and a very original tapas menu. A tasting menu is proposed: five different wines, each of them accompanied by a plate of home-made tapas. This upstairs bar also serves different beers and soft drinks. The recipes of the tapas were elaborated by an Indian chef in partnership with a Basque chef, it is simply to fall... The result is amazing. It is certainly a little expensive, but terribly chic.

Opened in late 2018, Clubb 18 is Fort Kochi's only place to have a drink and dance at night. It is located in Hotel 18, close to the pier for Vypeen Island. The music is quite loud inside, and not necessarily in the best taste, but you can go out on the terrace to chat with your friends. But don't expect the frenetic atmosphere of the clubs in Mumbai or Delhi! If you are a single man, you will have a little difficulty to enter, better to be accompanied. Correct dress is required and a search at the entrance.

A newcomer to Princess Street! Trouvaille is a modern café with a minimalist design, brick walls, wooden furniture and a warm atmosphere. On the menu: excellent coffees (espresso, latte, cappuccino) offered iced or hot, iced teas, as well as very good pastries (strawberry cheesecake, lemon pie, chocolate cake...). Everything is made with care, the team is friendly and the atmosphere is provided by a discreet lo-fi music. Perfect for a gourmet break between your visits.
