CAFES OF FORT KOCHI
Let me start with a quote
“Kochi is not a city it’s a feeling”. Yes, it is.
11 years back, for me Fort Kochi was just a place where you can see goats roaming everywhere and of course the whites.But when I started living here ,knowing this little town,i started loving it .The only place in Kerala where it feel like a foreign land. The Portuguese and Dutch culture the British left here enhance this little town. Fort Kochi is different in culture.You can find various ethnic communities like Jains, Memons, Jews, Konkanis, Gujaratis, Marathis, Tamils and Kashmiris. Its a worth visit place. Because of the colonial culture and the crowded tourist from every corner of the globe, here you can find end number of Cafes.It is like a smaller version of Galle of Sri lanka and Penang of Malaysia. I will take you through Top Five Cafes of Fort Kochi or just say the "Queen of the Arabian Sea".
KASHI ART CAFÉ.
A Dutch house later changed into a beautiful café that’s Kashi Art Café. A must visit place, full of Art works on every corner and beautifully maintained. The ambiance inside is so different. You will never feel that you are in a place which is the most populated city in Kerala. Kashi is also an Art gallery where artists can display their art work during exhibitions. A place for Art lovers as well as foodies.The most instgrammable cafe in Fort Kochi. I would recommend their chocolate cake, Mushroom stuffed Omelet and Beef Burger. There are many more on their menu.A perfect place for your savory taste buds.
THE BENCH RESTO CAFÉ
Located in the Princess Street of Fort Kochi, a newly born café with a cool and spacious interior. Highly recommended for a get together. A different vibe but not an art cafe. The best beef Steak of the town ,i could say. So flavorful and juicy .Whenever i wish to have a steak Bench is the ultimate destination. Not just steak ,burgers, white sauce pasta, mousse,cream cheese cake all these are my favorites. Good Service ,budget friendly and amazing ambiance.
LOAFERS CORNER CAFÉ
Cheese Cake ,that is what Loafers Corner café for me. The Best Cheesecake in Town. Located in the Princess Street . An upstair café with all the murals and a courtyard area like in the middle of woods. An amazing place to sip a coffee occupying the cozy window balcony watching the busy street. Worth the visit. The menu is not just cheesecake ,wraps, pancakes,english breakfast and many more. Even its right in the center of Princess street its calm inside. Loafers corner Café is a perfect place for hangouts.
QISSA CAFÉ
Mostly packed with kochinites ,a courtyard dine area with pastel colored chairs ,facing buzzing street easily accessible and the only cafe in Fort Kochi with a packing .Qissa Café is different from others, Located in the center of busy street it give an vibe of European cafes.
