French Toast

Where Mornings Taste Better

There are some cafés that instantly feel like they were made for slow mornings - no rush, no pretense, just good food and easy vibes. French Toast in Kochi is exactly that kind of place. Tucked along a quiet street, it exudes a laid-back charm that makes you want to linger a little longer than planned. The aroma of coffee mingles with the faint sweetness of butter and syrup wafting from the kitchen, while mellow tunes fill the air - it’s the kind of spot that makes breakfast feel like a ritual, not a routine.

The menu strikes a fine balance between creativity and comfort. You’ll find dishes that bring familiar flavours with playful twists, made with attention to texture, balance, and presentation. It’s thoughtful without being over the top - just good food done right, the way mornings should begin.

Here's What I Had

Mexican Beef Chilly French Toast - Rs 350

This was the kind of dish that makes you rethink what “French toast” can be. Forget the usual sweet version - here, thick slices of gouda-stuffed bread were paired with a robust Mexican-style beef chilli, creamy sour cream, and a handful of jalapeños that brought just the right amount of heat. The beef itself was tender, well-seasoned, and beautifully cooked with kidney beans for that extra texture. The sour cream tied everything together, offering cool relief from the spice, while the bread held up perfectly beneath all that goodness - crisp on the edges, soft in the middle. It was hearty, satisfying, and easily one of the best savoury breakfasts I’ve had in a long time.

Whiskey Cream Pie With Salted Toffee Meringue - Rs 220

Dessert for breakfast? Why not. This pie was nothing short of luxurious! the mild whiskey undertones played beautifully against the sweetness of the toffee and the salty crunch of the perfectly browned meringue on top. Every bite was a balance of rich and light, creamy and crisp. It felt indulgent without being cloying, and that hint of whiskey added just enough intrigue to keep you coming back for another spoonful.
