Bazaar Road, Fort Kochi
We buy from the Chellanam harbour boats at six every morning, then write the menu. If the sea was rough, the menu is short.
The kitchen is built around one long hearth fed with coconut husk and cashew wood. It burns hot and sweet and leaves a smoke you can taste in the fish without it taking over.
Everything else is Kerala: kudampuli for sourness, curry leaf, black pepper from Wayanad and appam made to order.
The room
The building stored pepper and dried ginger for a hundred years before we arrived. We kept the teak beams and the iron shutters and added a lot of blue.
Reservations
We hold tables for 15 minutes. For groups of nine or more, pick “Long table” and we’ll call you to plan the menu.
We keep a few tables for walk-ins every night.
Request received
This is a concept site, so no booking was actually made.
