  1. A

    German Bakery (Waves)

    In a swanky new location on an airy, sunburnt-orange balcony, this remains the most popular hang-out in town. Finger-licking pastries still take pride of place on the menu, as do a huge range of winning breakfasts, strong coffee and quiches. Nowadays it’s easy to spend the entire day relaxing here, with a varied selection of classy main courses featuring curries, seafood, tofu and pizzas taking you into your evening meal.

    Fusion

    This funky eatery has an inventive menu where dishes from the East meet dishes from the West – and it seems like they get along pretty well. You can get regular Indian or Western meals, but the fun part is trying their fusion options where the two cuisines collide to form yummy new taste combinations. Also serves French press coffee and herbal teas.

    Suprabhatham

    This cosy little veggie place dishes up excellent, dirt-cheap and truly authentic Keralan cooking in a rustic setting. Out in the palm groves, it’s secluded and intimate, with an option to dine under the stars to a nightly orchestra of crickets.

    Swiss Cafe

    While the setting here is lovely, with an upstairs balcony and lots of wicker seating, the menu offers pretty much the same choices as everywhere else, with a few token Swiss dishes (ie schnitzel) thrown in to justify the name.

    Devi Holiday Inn

    A tiny, family run eatery a little off the beach, this hotel whips up great veg and nonveg Indian food for refreshingly reasonable prices.
