The day at the table

I — The kitchen

Farm to fork, and local wherever possible

Eatopia is founded and powered on the philosophy of farm-to-fork love. We are proud of our commitment to the local community — supporting sustainable agricultural practices, sourcing organic food first, and going local whenever possible.

Our fares are a selection of popular favourites and much-loved classics from Kerala cuisines, each with our own delicious twist. We love to keep it simple and toothsome — which is why guests write to us about the food before they mention the view.

V — Ask us for

Nothing here is off the menu, because there isn't one

Tell us at the time of booking and the kitchen plans around it. Short notice is usually fine too — this is a small kitchen with a long day.

Vegetarian & vegan

A full meal, not a side dish reworked. Jain and no-onion-no-garlic are routine here.

Children

Simpler, milder plates on request, and early dinner if bedtime is non-negotiable.

Celebrations

A cake, a table on the lawn, or dinner set up on the hilltop for two.

Trek tiffins

Packed lunch, flasks of tea and fruit for anyone heading out for the day.
