So, we ended up here after a bad experience at another restaurant. But that incident turned out to be a remarkable blessing. Because we took a rickshaw here and found ourselves in a hidden paradise. Try the tuna ... it's like nothing anywhere and it's delicious. So is the calamari. The wait staff are polite. The food is great. The... More

We ate here during our stay in Kochi - the food was great, the view is even better. The only downside is the lack of booze but that is part of being in India. The place next door serves beer in any case. Service is a little slow but with such a nice view that is not a problem

We dined on the open air jetty. The constant sea breeze was delightful, no mosquito to worry about. The food quite good but service was very slow. Menu was quite limited and they do not have a license to serve alcohol.

Fort House Restaurant, located on a picaresque dock jutting out slightly into the water, is my favorite restaurant in Cochi, just for the ambiance. The food was also good, local cuisine, but not more-so than many other places, and has better than expected (which is not a high expectation) service. It's major downfall is no liquor license (although BYOB may... More

Have been enjoying the food and ambience of this restaurant for the past few years. The food is fantastic - very fresh and wonderfully tasty, and I have also enjoyed a variety of excellent vegetarian dishes as well - once you advise the very friendly staff of your particular needs, they are very helpful to advise what can be catered...

Although a true Keralite at heart, I have spent very less time in 'Gods Own Country'. However, decided to make a trip during the last vacation with the kids. We spent 2 days in Kochi. That's when we went to Fort House Restaurant for lunch. We were at first impressed with the ambience of the place, the walk way decorated... More

The setting in this restaurant is unique and beautiful. Visit here if you are in Fort Kochi. There is no comparable restaurant or setting in Fort Kochi like the Fort Hose restaurant. The fish green mango and grilled fish with spice rice was exceptionally good. The first half of my evening by the sea side was a bit windless and... More

We ate here twice. Food was of a very good standard and well cooked. Very tasty. Seafood was very fresh. Unlike many places it has a licence. A great advantage if you enjoy a beer with your curry. Other options available. My wife celebrated her 50th Birthday her and we had a lovely evening
