We stumbled upon this little restaurant by accident and had the most lovely experience. We were seated on a balcony for two in a beautifully quirky dining room. Service was great and the man who served us was knowledgeable and professional. The food was lovely and the whole experience was laid back and relaxing. I loved it and would dine... More

Situated about 10 mins walk from the centre of Panaji. Offers a good choice (great lamb chops) and the urban art deco is a must to see!! More

its a unique goan/portugese restaurant near GPO in panaji and is worth a visit. Dont expect a fancy place but be prepared for a nice and cosy, if somewhat run down place that serves decent food. There is one room that is more of a bar that some really cool graffiti on the walls and wine bottles decorating the place.... More

I love this place, especially the bar room with graffiti and writings on the wall makes it very interesting. The food is not exactly VFM but will not rate it the best. All things apart, I like to go to this place and sit on the balcony where table for 2-3 people can be set-up. Some of the staff members... More

We visited this restaurant in daylight to find it and were impressed with the quirky interior [which is difficult to describe: folksy Portuguese possibly] and therefore expected great food.It didn't live up to our expectations.I had the Goan sausage and pea pulau [240 rupees] which was tasty but very dry.Similarly ,my husband's pork chops [280 rupees] were over cooked.Drinks cost...

A charming litle place with oustside tables on the veranda- if you are tall, put one chair inside and voila, more comfortable!we have visited this restaurant where portuguese is often overheard, more than any other, in Panjim- it is always a delight; medium prices and they listen too, to what you want.It is in the Latin quarter of Panjim with...

Very nice venue and no need to book. Food good but service could have been a little more efficient. And we prefer hot plates and filter coffee but few places in Goa seem to provide those.. More

A small and cozy place tucked away into a corner of panjim. Very close as you are entering panjim by road. Lovely Sea shells used to decorate the entrance. All wooden boards and beams. Feels like you are in a old goan house. Very polite owner and staff. Excellent food. Love the prawn cocktail. Nice two seat tables in the... More

this is a real nice cozy Portuguese styled place in the heart of panjim...though a litle small...its has a nice ambience. the fish items are ok....on the whole the food was very average...not quite close to the actual goan taste, more of an adaption for foreigners who may not be able to handle the spice. The in-house wine is quite... More
