During our stay at Forte Kochi, we were spoilt for choice when it came to food. The head chef – Gejo George and his entire team was full of enthusiasm and the food was mind-blowing. We had our lunch, dinner and next day's breakfast at the hotel. Although there is only one restaurant - Jetty, it is more than enough with its indoor seating and extended area of bar that further opens into poolside seating that offers more intimate set up in the evening / night and a bright cheerful set up in the day time. Here are the details of our meal experiences at Forte Kochi. We started our meal with Spinach Dal Vadas served with tempered coconut chutney. Crisp on the outside and soft inside. Some Paneer Tikka that was charred to perfection. The food was washed down with a flute of Berry Spritzer. For mains we had Parotta that was made more like Kizhi preparation with veggies instead of chicken. For dessert we were served Porappu Payasam, Sevaya Payasam with Papadam and Banana. I must say the papadam added so many different layers to the flavor profile and the sweetness of the payasam. This entire combination was out of the world ! Dinner was by the pool. We started our meal with Tempura Veggies with honey chili sauce and Rajasthani style Kurukuri Bhindi. This was accompanied by Pina Colada. For mains we had Bhindi Mappas – This Bhindi preparation in coconut milk curry was so aromatic and with a dash of pungency. And Malabar Veg Curry with Appam. These were the finest appam we had in our entire stay in Kerala. Cooked to perfection. Due to pandemic they have been serving A la cart Breakfast. We had Ghee Roast Dosa with Sambar, Coconut chutney and Tomato chutney, along with Fresh Pineapple and Watermelon Juice. Followed by Egg curry ( Thattukda style) with parotta. Though this is a beef speciality, as we are eggetarians chef made it an egg preparation. It was spicy and tasty. And finished our breakfast on a sweeter note with Waffles with maple syrup Throughout all our meals, chef personally looked into our food preferences, likes and dislikes. His recommendations were spot on and only made our experience unforgettable.
