Waiting for the food!

This place is based ( I think ) at the Royal Goan beach club in baga. Someone told us about this place and we went!! its ok.

Nice ambience abot the place, when you walk in look right and go sit on the comfy chairs!! The menu is a typical mexican choice with all the usual fajihtas/burritos ect. Tasted cool, service was good and if you like mexican we would reccomend you go and check it out.

Favorite Dish: Fahijtas, salsa and guecamale (spelt wrong i know!!)

This place is great if you are staying at Marinha Dourada in Arpora, or somewhere close. Great for a snack, toastie sandwhich or cheese cob and a beer!

We didnt have dinner/tea here just a snack, and was ideal. I think they also hire out fishing gear too, theres an internet cafe next door to so you can send a few emails. Nice and cheap, but would reccomend sitting inside as the flys are a little persistant outside!!

Favorite Dish: Cheese and onion buttys!!

Brittos in Baga: Not bad bite

Happy eating!

Not bad hang out. Bit on the exspensive side but loved the garlic king prawns. Nice setting on Baga beach near Baga, if you ask the waiter to sit near the end of the restaurant its on the beach under the stars. I like Brittos and think its a decent hang out, however the other half didnt really like the food and thought it was overpriced.

Favorite Dish: King prawns , grilled in garlic sauce.. mmmmmm the best!!

Little Italy: A special Italian

Little Italy is a place for a special meal. The settings are spectacular, very romantic. The food is very good and service is amazing. What I like about this place is they dont rush you from your table, or take away your plates too quick. Everything is at your pace, very special. The food is good, typical pizza and pasta dishes, and is top class.

The only draw back here is like some menus is Goa the prices dont include VAT, which doesnt make a big difference, its just that when you expect a bill for 1200 rupees it arrvies as 1500 rupees with tax!!

Favorite Dish: Everything!!!

Sea Paradise: Stay Away

Wow, I feel really bad writing bad tips, but I gotta let you know as my gf was very ill after eating here and 3 other couple lost a few days due to illness too.

The huts are superb, and check out the other page about them, all I wuld say is try not to eat here. The food looks and tastes good, but as said above is very dodgey.

Stay at the huts by all means, but go into Arambol up the road for a bit of grub!!

Favorite Dish: None!

As you walk in..

I thought I would add this one on not as a reccomendation but as a tip. Most people including taxi drivers say its brilliant here, but we disagree somewhat!

Its not bad or anything, its just most of the food in Goa is very good, but here is just average. As we walked in the surroundings were pretty cool, with lots of lights wrapped around trees, but no one came to meet us. Eventually we were ushered to our seats and given our menus. Its the usual stuff really, Indian, Chinese, Italian -personally I like to go somewhere thats good at one type of cooking rather than be average at everything. The food was ok, but service was poor. Maybe lots of people come here and they take customers for granted and dont feel the need to give excellent service like the rest of the restaurants in Goa.

Favorite Dish: Hmmm, dont really have one.

Great little restaurant, based on titos road in Baga. Settin is superb , there is two seating areas go for the one near the bottom where you can sit in a boat! o scatter cushions, very cool.

The menus isnt very extensive, but the food is superb. Been to this place 2 years on the bounce and gets better and better.

Enjoy.

Favorite Dish: We had a pizza and a bowl of pasta doesnt sound much I know but was the best. Superb gorgeous food.

Fusion

This restaurant in Betalbatim near the Pentagon is run by a Brazillian Guy. Steaks to die for. Seafood fresh and delicious. Try Fish Fusion, Clean fresh surroundings and the cleanest toilets I've seen in India

Favorite Dish: They run a small menu which is changed on a regular basis being governed by what is fresh and acceptable to the chef .They don't cook curries the food is more to European tastes.Try the thick, tender steaks

This little chinese only opened this year we went in it one night and went back every night for 4 weeks we didn"t eat there every night and was never pressured to like you are in alot of places, when we did eat there the food was always spot on i think between us we went through the full menu, my favorite was the chicken won tons, my husband can"t pick a favorite he recomends all the dishes, you can sit in or out, inside is very clean and so is the toilet!!! we always sat outside as it is on the pavement so you can just relax with a drink watching the world go by, you won"t believe the price of the food or drinks a starter is about 40pence, main meal about £1 and a very large honey b and sprite 30pence.The staff are great the 2 waiters are called Kiss and Gangow. Gangow even want to queue to get us our cricket tickets for us (we bought him 1)
well worth a visit or 15

Favorite Dish: hard to pick out one dish we tried lots and every one was great
