Places to eat in Goa

Chris Bee, the original Chef at Sublime, has opened a great restaurant serving modern cuisine in Saligao. Lovely garden setting, nice lighting, and this weekend had live Sitar & Tabla playing.

Favorite Dish: My starter was roast beetroot salad with wasabi dressing...fantastic! For mains I had A fillet steak served on mash with a lovely red wine sauce...simply gorg!

NB This review was a few years ago, but now in 2011 the food is still great!

Great food in a lovely setting with lots of huge palms and greenery...but during the day it doubles as a travel agency, hence the name!

Favorite Dish: Too many to mention! Tuna Carpaccio, Angels on horseback, various steaks, red snapper, crab stuffed tomatoe, and a cold soup to die for! The food style is similar to that at Sublime...

There are lots of beach shacks on the beach at Candolim - however when we visited Goa it was in April -right at the end of the tourist season - a lot of the shacks have shut up shop and lliterally disappear away leaving just the beach behind. Bobby's was one of the few left.

All the seats look out to the ocean - you can sit at a litttle candlelit table and watch the sun go down and the twinklilng lights out in the sea.

Favorite Dish: We really enjoyed the vegetable curry with rice - I think it has coconut in it. the portion sizes are just right. The aloo gobi was also great

To the other side of Hi-Tide is Cafe Nirvana. The breakfast here is great - a 'small monty' costs 130 INR, and includes bacon and a really delicious Goan sausage.

We had lunch here too, and can recommend the veggie burgers (60INR).

The owner is an American guy who has lived here for years, and loves the Doors!

This is the place we stayed at (see hotel tips) so it was pretty convenient for it to have a restaurant as well. We had breakfast here several times, and dinner once.

The veggie set breakfast is very good value at 100 INR, as for that price you get baked beans, toast, boiled veg, chips, tea or coffee AND juice, whereas separately on the menu beans on toast (40) and orange juice (60) would come to the same total.

Their dinner menu includes pizza and burritos, both of which are good.

The Round Cube Beach Cafe is a cross between a restaurant and a bar. They do very good food, and dinner for two there cost us 245 INR including drinks. The guy running the bar was very friendly, and played some decent music.

This Italian restaurant is on the main high street of Palolem, just up the road from the gates from the beach and on the right. It is a little more expensive to eat here than somewhere more local, but I can thoroughly recommend the lasagne.

Fishermans Cove is a restaurant in the main road of Candolim, and is a choice if you don't want to walk down the Beach Road. They serve all kinds of food. I was there only one time due to the bad attitude of the waiter. The food (Chicken tikka) was good.
