Disappointing Breakfast Experience at Kochi Le Meridian's "Latest Recipe"
As an avid traveler who appreciates fine dining experiences, I recently had the opportunity to stay at the renowned Kochi Le Meridian hotel. Given its prestigious reputation as a 5-star establishment, I had high expectations for the dining options available, particularly the "Latest Recipe" restaurant where I decided to have breakfast. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory, leaving me utterly disappointed.
First and foremost, the quality of the breakfast offered at the "Latest Recipe" fell well below the standards one would expect from a hotel of this caliber. The variety of food options was noticeably limited, with a lackluster assortment of items available. For a hotel that prides itself on its culinary expertise, I expected a wider range of dishes that catered to different tastes and preferences. Instead, the offerings were unimaginative and repetitive, leaving little room for culinary exploration or delight.
The overall taste and flavor of the dishes were also quite underwhelming. The food lacked the freshness and finesse one would anticipate from a high-end restaurant. The cooked items, such as eggs and sausages, were unappetizing and tasted as though they had been sitting out for an extended period. Even the pastries and bread selection, which are typically a highlight of any breakfast buffet, were lackluster and failed to impress.
In addition to the disappointing food quality, the service at the "Latest Recipe" left much to be desired. The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, paying little attention to the guests' needs. Empty plates were left uncleared for prolonged periods, and requests for basic items like coffee refills were often ignored. The lack of professionalism and hospitality was surprising, considering the hotel's reputation and the expectations associated with a 5-star establishment.
Moreover, the ambiance of the "Latest Recipe" did not live up to the elegant standards one would expect from a luxury hotel restaurant. The seating arrangements felt cramped and lacked comfort, which made the dining experience far from relaxing. The overall atmosphere was bland and uninspiring, failing to create a memorable and enjoyable breakfast setting.
Given the premium pricing associated with the Kochi Le Meridian hotel and the promise of a top-notch dining experience, the "Latest Recipe" fell short on all accounts. The underwhelming food quality, lackluster variety, indifferent service, and subpar ambiance all contributed to an overall negative breakfast experience. For a 5-star hotel, such shortcomings are simply unacceptable.
I regret to say that my visit to the "Latest Recipe" at Kochi Le Meridian was a letdown. If you are seeking a delightful breakfast experience that truly reflects the standards of a luxury hotel, I would recommend exploring other dining options in Kochi.

Nice place. But be careful of 3 things
1- there is a railway track to cross before you reach the waterfalls. This is a main line and train is very frequent. Be careful while you cross.
2-Be aware that this is not a tourist place but this a forest area with lots of wild elephants
3- use this place but do not abuse it by carrying plastic bags and such things. Be responsible
