The Attic - Marine Drive, Cochin, Kerala

The Attic - Steak House is located at Marine Drive in Cochin.It offers Western cuisine, Continental and cocktails.The ambiance is warm and fuzzy and the decor is interesting.It offers both vegetarian and non vegetarian delicacies. There aren’t too many choices when it comes to steaks in Cochin. At Attic its good, tasty and well made.

For a vegetarian, initially had very few choices – between something dubiously titled “Vegetable Steak” and a few wonderfully creamy bakes – but these dishes were so well made that the lack of choice was not an issue. But now they have expanded the menu to include a lot of pastas and European desserts. The Garlic Bread is crisp and aromatic. Helpings are quite generous and tastefully presented. Chili lovers might find the food a tad bland, though.

The Attic is a cosy little restaurant, nice for an outing with your loved one. The interior is beautiful with ochre décor and its huge reproductions of Van Gogh paintings. Though it is not right on the waterfront, it does command a good view of the Cochin backwaters. It’s best visited at night, when the harbour and surrounding areas are lit. Prices are on the higher side by Cochin standards.
