ഓൾഡ് ഹാർബർ റെസ്റ്റോറന്റ്

The hotel is beautiful and well-maintained, a lavish paradise in the Kochi heat. However, I had my worst lunch experience at Kochi with this place.

The waiter only provided me the menu targeting foreigners; only 3 options for main and each was Rs. 950 + 18% service fee. That’s in the premium price range in this area and I was expecting a pleasing lunch experience with my friend at this place.

However, I felt they were being lazy; they only wanted to make you choose those options that were easy for kitchen and expensive drinks. I had spaghetti with red sauce and prawns; very basic and plain. The spaghetti was overcooked. I was never being offered water; i requested napkins and they did not provide it to me until I finished my lunch.

My friend came in late. They took out the full menu under his request. The full menu had a huge variety of options from starters to mains that require more skills and effort.

That really upset me. When you took a long flight to here for your vacation and happy to pay more to have luxury experience, and all you got was poor...

I absolutely loved the food at this restaurant! The atmosphere was wonderful, with a beautiful green garden view that made our meals even more enjoyable. Every dish we ordered exceeded our expectations, there wasn’t a single thing we regretted trying. The drinks were great as well, perfectly complementing the meal.

The Seabass Special is a must-try, and the cardamom panna cotta was a delightful surprise. While the prices may be on the higher side for the area, the quality, presentation, and flavors make it completely worth it. You truly get what you pay for.

The staff was incredibly friendly, polite, and kind, making the experience even more enjoyable. This place is perfect for a romantic date or a special meal.

I highly recommend...

We have been wanting to try old harbour hotel for a long time now and finally we went for dinner last night. Food was yummy, priced ok.service was ok. beautiful ambience but we were very uncomfortable with a cat and two huge dogs walking in and out of the restaurant . I am sure there r many guests who r comfortable with this arrangement but we were visiting with two small kids (one toddler and one infant) it was very shocking and uncomfortable to have two huge dogs by your table side , even looking into your food so close! We wished they wrote it at the entrance that there r dogs inside (then we would have avoided entering the restaurant) Would love to visit again for the food but definitely not with dog...
