Located inside a centuries-old heritage building in Fort Kochi, Lila Curated Experiences offers a calm hangout space perfect for solo dates or an impromptu catch-up with a friend. Here, time pauses, and it feels like there’s no hurry - sit with your favourite book and your food, and hours will escape in the blink of an eye. Regarded by many as the best cafe in Kochi, this eatery is spread across two floors with an indoor courtyard, serving irresistible bakes, coffee, fresh juice and hearty breakfasts.
Lila Curated Experiences stands out among Fort Kochi restaurants and cafes for its thoughtfully curated menu, warm ambience, and the unhurried charm that makes every visit memorable. They have an enticing breakfast option - if you’re here during the early hours, try the crowd favourite, The Epic Piggery Breakfast Set. This wholesome spread includes buttery mushrooms, boiled eggs, juicy sausages, sizzling bacon, and toasted brioche. Pair it with a freshly made juice - because this combination simply can’t go wrong.
If you’re looking for some hearty mains, go for their Kandhari Prawns with Butter Croissant. This perfect fusion of seafood and a classic French pastry is one of the key highlights at Lila Curated Experiences. The perfectly toasted, buttery croissant accompanied by succulent prawns makes this truly an indulgent affair.
Our next pick from the menu is Vattalappam - a traditional Sri Lankan dessert that wins you over at first bite. This coconut-steamed custard, made with caramelised jaggery and coconut milk, has a soft, jiggly texture and just the right sweetness to keep you wanting more. It’s indulgent yet comforting - a dessert this good is one of the many reasons Lila Curated Experiences often finds a spot in the best cafe in Kochi lists.
From fresh juices to shakes, they also have a fine selection of beverage options, perfect for pairing with your meal. We chose a classic Strawberry Shake from this section - a creamy drink made with milk, ice cream, and fresh frozen strawberries. It’s so deliciously good that you might go for a second glass. It’s the plethora of options that make Lila Curated Experiences one of the top eateries in Kochi.
Well, if you want to go for something light, try their pistachio croissant with a hot cup of cappuccino. This combination is an ideal fit if you’re here for an impromptu plan with a friend. Counted among the top Fort Kochi restaurants and cafes, Lila Curated Experiences offers a peaceful respite from the chaos and beautifully blends flavours with a calm ambience.
