Sreepadman
For dirt cheap and authentic Keralan fare – think dosas (paper-thin lentil-flour pancakes) and thalis – where you can rub shoulders with rickshaw drivers rather than tourists, hit Sreepadman. This is a real hole-in-the-wall with a view: there is neat seating out the back with temple tank views.

Kerala Coffee House
With oodles of atmosphere and top service, this perennially popular hang-out has tableclothed dining under the swaying palms. It serves cocktails (around Rs80) and has particularly flavoursome pizzas (Rs70 to Rs90), all served to a dancy, reggae soundtrack.

Hungry Eye Kitchen
We love the stepped, multilevel design of Hungry Eye – this way everyone gets uninterrupted sea views. Very diplomatic. Thai food is a speciality here, and the kitchen can whip up red and green curries as well as the usual suspects of Varkala dishes.

Calfouti
The menu here doesn’t look that different from everywhere else, but the setting is a notch swishier than most places, with an upper level balcony, colourful lamps and more than its fair share of dinner-time fairy lights.

Oottupura Vegetarian Restaurant
Bucking the trend and serving only veggie options, this budget eatery has a respectable range of yummy dishes, including breakfast puttu (flour with milk, bananas and honey) and lots of lunch and dinner options.

Somatheeram
This bare-bones beachside restaurant whips up consistently tasty Indian fare. The location, right on the main beach where you can dig your toes into the sand, is about as good as it gets.

Juice Shack
A funky little health-juice bar that doubles as Varkala’s informal intranet – this is where long-termers come to gossip and share the latest news the old way.
