The first thing that strikes into everyone’s mind when planning for a cruise or a houseboat stay in Alleppey or anywhere in Kerala is – Are we going to get the food in houseboat of our choice and preferences? Well, here is the answer to this question about meals. Yes! Without a doubt. It doesn’t matter who you are; a vegetarian, a non-vegetarian, an egg lover or a Jain food lover. For us you are our guests and to serve our guests with all the love and attention is our priority. Keeping in mind the taste from all the corners of India and abroad; we have made the menu to soothe each of our houseboat stay guest.
To add to your information please note that all the houseboats buy provision and vegetables every day according to their bookings. Therefore for all the guests who choose either for the overnight stay of day trip have an advantage of choosing their menu from the fixed menu available in the houseboat. Guests may please also take a note that Pure Veg, Jain food and non-veg are all available on demand but Continental, Chinese and Italian are not often available. The menu is entirely depending upon the choice of boat service that you have.
It is always recommended to have a private boat rather than having it on sharing basis in case the guests are pure vegetarian or looking for Jain food to be served.
