Keralam’s favourite bar snacks reinterpreted in refreshing ways at Repeat, Kochi’s newest restobar
Repeat, a new restobar in Kochi, is gaining popularity for its unique fusion of traditional Kerala snacks and modern bar food. The establishment focuses on a relaxed, lounge-style atmosphere and creative cocktail pairings.
Why it matters
It highlights the evolving culinary landscape in Kochi, where traditional local flavors are being successfully adapted for contemporary dining experiences.
Some new openings create a stir much ahead of the official launch. Repeat, “the friendly neighbourhood bar”, on the fourth floor of Cochin Palace Hotel on KP Vallon Road, has achieved that. Their beef taco is already the talk of the town. A Spanish interpretation of Keralam’s BDF (beef dry fry), the tiny chunks of beef, wrapped in taco, have to be dunked in a flavour-bomb of gravy before you eat them, suggests Antony Jose, founder of Tony’s Kitchen, who brings his magic to Repeat. The taco hits all the right notes and I cannot stop talking about it for the rest of the evening.
