Chef Honey is a honey

Lobby

The hotel boasts several restaurants all under the very professional and experienced Chef Honey. The food is predominantly Indian cuisine, highlighting the Keralan specialties of the region. Buffet breakfast includes idlis and dosas accompanied by coconut and tomato chutneys and sambar. There are also Western favorites available. At the breakfast buffet there is a chef cooking up delicious omelettes with a large variety of extras. Dinner offerings are primarily curries from various regions around India, a variety of rice dishes including biryanis, pulao, and more. While the offerings include meat, chicken and fish, there is great sensitivity to guests who prefer pure vegetarian cooking, and Chef Honey and his staff go out of their way to accommodate all special needs.

A warm home away from home

Walking into the beautiful lobby of the Fragrant Nature Boutique Hotel after a day of sightseeing, the welcoming staff makes you feel like you have come home, and what a home it is! The lobby, replete with fountains, flowering plants and a colorful wall mural of street scenes from Fort Kochi, is a wonderful place to stretch out, have a drink and relax as you plan your next adventures.
