    A heavenly view, freshly prepared food and an amazing vibe. That's the best part about this place. Limited menu and that's what makes it a completely confusion free, easy to get and quick decision on the item you need. As and when the fresh produced is over, the items on the menu becomes unavailable so would suggest to go a bit early for lunch. It is a 40 min to an hour's drive from Kodai town and hence, pick your travel accordingly. The folks are very welcoming and always smiling. Must visit!

    The space is less, but has a good ambience. It is a good place to have some snacks and beverages. Has a place to lay down and take rest. You can even sleep there, after ordering your food. You can get an awesome view of the poombarai village from this space. Went in the afternoon and the setting sun's rays were the mood changer. I would recommend stopping by and checking out.

    This place has my heart♥️ beautiful cafe overlooking the Poombarai village on your way to Munnavannoor or Kookal from Kodai. The view is just so amazing you will want to sit there sip on your drink and do nothing but enjoy the views. Take the outdoor table, get some good pasta and sip on their chocolate drinks. The staff is very polite and service is great. They are pet friendly-my dog had a good time too. Parking is on the opposite side of the road(you will have to manage) and easy to locate.

    This cafe near Kodaikanal gives you the entire Poombarai Village view. The ambiance of the cafe is really nice along with such scenic views. The taste of food is also equally good. I first had a chocolate milk drink which was perfect for cold weather. Then for appetizers, I had their roasted mushrooms. The masala coated over the mushrooms made it taste really nice. I also tried the Pink Sauce Vodka Pasta which was cooked very well. The cafe is run by Italian people and loved their hospitality.I would definitely recommend this place when visiting Mannavanur lake from Kodaikanal.

    Cute and cosy cafe overlooking Poombarai village. View from this place is beautiful 😍. Must visit if your in Kodaikanal. Drive to this place from Kodaikanal is scenic. Loved their potato wedges, hot chocolate and pasta. Dip served with wedges require a special mention. Fish steak was decent. Cons : Bathrooms could've been cleaner. The place sure could use some maintenance.

    Surprisingly! Excellent cafe located in the cliff of Poombarai village. Drinks and food taste is good—clean and cosy interior. Outside seating is best for the scenic view—responsive service Kudos to the team. Good collection of art pieces, books and games available to churn your time. Overall good experience. Highly recommended cafe in Princess of hills.

    Passiflora Ristorante Italiano is a hidden gem nestled by the beautiful cliff view of Kodaikanal. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a sense of calm and tranquility that set the tone for an extraordinary dining experience. The dishes here were a delightful fusion of traditional Italian flavors and the freshest vegetables. Each bite was a testament to the chef's culinary expertise, with every ingredient perfectly balanced and cooked to perfection. The serene ambiance of Passiflora was the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable meal. The soft lighting and elegant decor created an atmosphere of relaxation, allowing me to savor each bite and immerse myself in the flavors and textures of the dishes. The service was impeccable. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that every need was met with a smile. Their passion for food was evident in their recommendations, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. In conclusion, this cafe is a tranquil culinary haven that combines the best of Italian cuisine with a peaceful ambiance to the meticulously crafted dishes, every aspect of this dining experience was exceptional. I highly recommend Passiflora Ristorante Italiano to anyone seeking a remarkable culinary adventure by the cliff. ALL THE BEST TO TEAM AT PASSIFLORA RISTORANTE ITALIANO.

    Must visit place if your travelling to Kodaikanal, it’s an authentic Italian place, and pet friendly too. The pasta served here is unbelievable. Also this is a cafe to relax and spend some time watching the scenery. Don’t rush in and expect to have the food ready on the table in 5 minutes, it takes a while, but totally worth it.

    Amazing ambience. The sitting outside gives a wonderful view of the Poombarai village. The food is worth the money. Overall, an amazing art cafe out in the town. Best place to go for a solo date too.

    No words, great Italian food with an unmatched view. The guys here are from Kerala (#mallusunite) and they take care of the place pretty well. Choice of food is mainly Italian but there are good choices of main courses as well. Hot chocolate and coffee were good as well. They have a great service and the people here even helped us get a place to stay at the last minute. Really good experience, suggest to go around sunset time so as to enjoy the view.

    A very cozy cafe providing italian cuisine with a breathtaking view. Located at poombarai, which is about 15 kms away from town. Food was soo yummy and authentic, made by Italian chef, run by malayalis. We spent our evening here while coming back from mannavanur with great food, ambience and a great view. A must visit place.

    Wow! Their twist on Italian food is amazing. It's packed with flavor. Service was very friendly and polite. Also what a view! Truly unique experience that is worth driving to. The only thing I would warn customers is that because the food is cooked fresh, it takes time to prepare, so don't go their in a rush.

    A must visit if you're in Kodaikanal. Hands down, one of the best places for good food. The menu is Italian but every item is outstanding.

    A very beautiful, tiny cafe on the way to poombarai and mannavannur lake. The view and the food, both got my attention. The pastas we ordered were excellent. We ordered aglio olio and spicy red pasta chicken. Both were excellent. The dark chocolate drink was a great disappointment, as i was just chocolate syrup 🤔🤔🤔, however the cold coffee was a hit. Except for our experience with the dark chocolate drink, everything was beyond expectations. The view, music and the general ambience itself is high vibration. This cafe won't disappoint you.

    Not only is the food amazing, the atmosphere and where Passiflora is located whilst overlooking the mountains is incredible. I would most certainly visit this restaurant again. Great food and friendly staff. Cheers!

    A small yet beautiful cafe overlooking a mesmerising view of Kookal & Kodai. Do try their hot chocolate and vodka sautéed pasta.

    Located at a beautiful location in Pumbarai, Passiflora offers authentic Italian cuisine. To be very honest, i was not expecting that much but they surely proved me wrong. They have an outside seating too with e magnificent view, please don't miss that.

    It has quite a small sitting space but beautiful view of Poombarai and terraced farms. Service was slow when we visited but it was a worthwhile. Roasted mushroom, vodka pasta, and hot ginger lemon were excellent.

  • 4/5 Dany V. 2 years ago on Google
    The best cafe you can find on this route. It's a village route with epic scenaries and this restaurant gives you the best cafe food. They also have a intersting menu to checkout to. The view of Poombarai village from this cafe is too good. One can have their food looking at the scenic views of the village from the top sipping hot chocolate. Do try this one if you want to have good food. Ambience is also good. Pricing is regular cafe prices.
