Cocoa Island Resort - Maldives - Food and Beverage Restaurant
Food & Beverage
At Cocoa Island, eat like a castaway - fresh lobster, caught locally, cooked in the Keralan style. Dine feet-in-the-sand at the main restaurant, Ufaa, beneath an alang-alang pavilion and huge Maldivian sky.
Menus change daily, blending Indian and Sri Lankan traditions with an emphasis on seafood, tandoor and organic, locally-sourced produce. Spicing is used with a lightness of touch. Choice is always tantalising, promising simplicity in the tropics, and sophistication for the more demanding gourmand. There is also a hotel bar, Faru, open from 10am until midnight, serving fine wines, exotic cocktails and energising juices. At Cocoa Island, we provide comprehensive room service menus, as well as a healthful COMO Shambhala cuisine.
COMO Shambhala cuisine
With COMO Shambhala cuisine, guests can benefit from a wide and changing variety of menus (breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as room service) which focus on nutritionally enriching and organic foodstuffs. The emphasis is on raw ingredients, which are more easily digested as well as richer in living enzymes, vitamins and sea minerals.
We don’t use cow’s milk, nor genetically tampered soy alternatives, but our own blended nut milks. We use honey instead of processed sugars. We also use sea vegetables high in nutrients, including magnesium and pumpkin seed ‘parmesan’ which replaces the flora found naturally in the intestine but is destroyed by cooking. Fish is an important feature on our menus - caught and brought straight to your plate. COMO Shambhala cuisine is not about deprivation; it’s for people who enjoy their food but want to feel good.
