The History Restaurant
It is a unique gastronomic exploration of Kerala's famous port and its rich past. Fort Cochin, has attracted seafaring traders for over six centuries. The allure of black pepper, ginger and cardamom has drawn many traders to Kerala's fertile coast and as the Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch and finally the British competed to control the spice trade they made their mark on the local culture.

The Armory

The collection of arms and weapons on display tells a tale of the fierce battles that was raged on these shores. The restaurant overflows into the garden.

Cuisine
Each group that came to Kerala arrived with their own culinary traditions, yet these cuisine's took new forms as they adapted to the South Indian climate and its fruits, vegetables and spices. The Portuguese for example, came for Kerala's black pepper an left behind the new world Chili, for even changing the character of Indian cooking. Arab traders brought with them a taste for dried fruits and nuts, and rich dishes like 'biriyani'. The Syrian Christians had a knack for combining their meat curries with 'appams'. The rice-based South Indian Pancakes. And while the Jews maintained a Kosher diet, they integrated seasonings like coriander and curry leaves into their cooking.

The collection of dishes is the result of the tireless efforts of our Chef's who convinced the descendants of some of Fort Cochin's oldest families to share their prized recipes, we hope it is the most delicious history lesson you ever have.
