While this restaurant can certainly boast an amazing view, they compliment that with delicious food. I had breakfast and dinner here and was pleased with both. They had a good masala dosa and smoothie bowl for breakfast and their fresh seafood dishes for dinner are what I would recommend!
They also have a good menu of both cocktails and mocktails.

The restaurant is part of the Marine Palace Hotel and has a lovely position overlooking the beach. The seating is upstairs and is spread over 4 different levels/sections. The menu is varied with plenty to choose from. The Fish and shellfish are the stars, fresh from the sea and cooked to your liking. The veg thalis are decent as are the various masala dishes. If you fancy a change from spicy food there are pastas, noodles, various types of snacks and sandwiches etc. At the time of my visit this was the only restaurant open on the beach.

A lovely view out over the beach/Arabian sea - sunsets are amazing! Delicious food - we ate here many times and chose something different each time. Very friendly and attentive staff with great mojito's!

We ordered Biriyani and Pasta. The pasta is average but the Biriyani is terrible. The food is definitely now worth for ₹600. We managed to complete the food and didn't order further. Everything is overpriced but not taste is not worth the cost.

It’s probably one of the best restaurant in Varkala, fish are amazing especially tandoori way. Just ask advises to the really nice staff.
The view is great, and the music as well !
Thanks to Kumar and Babu!

Without a doubt this is the best place for a sunset view. You can't beat watching the sunset with a decent cocktail in your hand. The service is friendly, and the food is great too. Highly recommended

Ordered lobster tail, the lobster was extremely small, more like a prawn, exorbitant prices with average food. They charged Rs 70 for a per bottle of coke, with MRP of Rs 40. When asked the staff was extremely rude and replied that Rs 40 was for shops outside and it was the owners decision to charge more

One of the few on the beach with seafood focus. Elevated upstairs has good view but gets hot. Good place to feel part of the action

A bit away from the fancy North cliff you can find this Place directly on the beach. The interior is quite simple but nice. The staff is very friendly and attentive and always smiles. I had a light lunch here and it was very tasty. The prices are really ok and you can just sit here and enjoy the view on the beach.

Great views and solid Indian / sea food options. Perfect sunset spot if you want to get off the cliff.

This is one o my favourite places in the world - certainly in Kerala. I arrived without a plan but stayed and ate here for 3 weeks. The staff are amazing. VIJI and BABu are top blokes. Seafood is fresh, amazing and cheap. All the kitchen staff, waiters and managers are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble! They even hlet me paint a mural on the wall and all helped me create “ The Jungle Lounge “ I can’t wait to come back again for a long stay. 5 STARS - Highly recommended.
