  • 1. Chakara

    $$

    Raheem Residency, on Alleppey's main beach, is in an elegant old British-built bungalow dating from the 19th century, and its partially alfresco restaurant serves a variety of cuisines—Kerala, North Indian, and some Western dishes. Try the Alleppey fish curry, the Kerala prawns roast, or a chicken biryani (served only at lunch) and enjoy the beach view from the upper floor. Alcohol is served.

    $$

    This rambling former Dutch home now serves as an art gallery—displaying the work of contemporary Indian artists and works from art camps held in villages across Kerala—and a spacious garden café extending out to a large back lawn. Best known for its delicious Italian pizza (made in a traditional stone oven in front of you) and panini, the restaurant changes its menu regularly, depending on what ingredients are in season, making for interesting choices and dependable freshness.

  • 3. Fort House Restaurant

    $$

    Inside a budget hotel in a great location on the jetty, this simple, open-air restaurant doesn't skimp on quality or authenticity. The menu is almost entirely seafood—chicken and specialty items (like lobster) must be ordered in advance—and every dish is cooked to order and presented in a clay vessel. Note that service can be slow, no alcohol is served, and open-air dining isn't available during the monsoons.

    2/6 A Calvathi Rd., Fort Kochi, Kerala, 682001, India
    484-221–7103

    Known For

    • Try the prawns Kerala and braised seerfish
    • Waterfront dining
    • Kerala cuisine

  • 4. Hill Spice

    $$

    The airy, glass-roofed Hill Spice, at the Tall Trees resort, is a more elegant alternative to the restaurants in Munnar's main bazaar. The Kerala dishes are your best bet, though the restaurant offers thalis and buffet meals along with Indian, Indo-Chinese, and continental food.

    Bison Valley Rd., Munnar, Kerala, 685612, India
    486-523--0593

    Known For

    • Alfresco dining
    • Great choice of Indo-Chinese dishes like hakka noodles and chilli chicken
    • Located in a spice plantation
  • 5. Paragon

    $$

    It's not much to look at, and it can get noisy when crowded, but this Calicut stalwart has been serving tasty food since 1939. The chicken and the prawn biryanis are both excellent (come early for these), as is the prawn thattukada, an unusual fried shrimp dish that goes well with parathas (a flaky flatbread); other favorites include the prawn pepper fry and tamarind fish curry. The biryanis may run out on the early side, but the restaurant is open quite late.

    Kannur Rd., Calicut, Kerala, 673001, India
    495-276–1020

    Known For

    • Open until midnight
    • Tamarind fish curry
    • Prawn thattukada
