Tripping Over At Trip Restrobar, Morjim, Goa

Offering amazing views of the Arabian Sea and the Morjim Beach, Trip Restrobar is the answer, if you are looking for a chilled out place that has some great food and awesome drinks.

Edward’s Yard- Good Food, Greenery, and Great Vibes!

Edward’s Yard has been around for quite some time but I never got a chance to visit all these years until last week when I finally did.Nestled in the by lanes of Pilar, it’s about 20 minutes drive from Panjim and was about 30 minutes from my home in Porvorim. Drives in Goa are an all time favourite activity so I actually look forward to visit places which are a little far off. It allows me to breathe some fresh air, admire the raw beauty of Goa and be grateful once again, that I live in this amazing state.

Pizza Delizia and Burrito Boys, Dining at the Cafe!

Pizza Delizia and Burrito Boys have been one of my favourites and by now you would know this since I have mentioned about them in my previous posts as well. With Pizza Delizia, my experience was limited to a home delivery only, and Burrito Boys I had visited physically last year. But now since they have both come together and it has become like a gourmet cafe, my experience of dining out was very different.

Caravela Cafe & Bistro- A Perfect Experience!

Nestled in the picturesque lanes of Latin Quarter of Panjim, known as Fontainhas, this cosy Caravela Cafe & Bistro, should be on your list of must-visit places in Goa. It is known to serve the best coffee in Goa and also offers some delicious savouries and desserts to give a great company to your coffees.

Burrito Boys and Pizza Delizia- Double Bonanza!

Who can say no to a fully loaded burrito? Can you? The moment I got to know that Burrito Boys have started their home delivery via Pizza Delizia, it was a double delight. My day was made. Also, it made for a win-win situation for the whole family. My son loves pizzas and I love burritos.

This Angry Sardar Will Make You Happy!

When I heard the name Angry Sardar for a restaurant, I didn’t know what to make of it. Even after dining there, I don’t know what to make of it, but all I can say is that this Angry Sardar can surely make you happy if you are looking for good Punjabi food.

A Laid Back and Lovely Lunch at the Lazy Goose!

With the serene Nerul river flowing next to it, Lazy Goose stands true to its name and makes for a perfect place to laze around, and to make the experience even more worthwhile, there is delicious food and some amazing drinks on the offer too.

Social and Delectable Dining Experience at Noaa!

The moment you enter Noaa, you cannot help noticing its quirky decor, from chairs to walls, everything draws your attention almost instantly. Situated in the YU Hotel, Candolim, Noaa opened its doors just a few months back and has brought in a great fusion of Pan Asian cuisine with some local Goan flavours.

Prime Rose- Loving the foodie avatar of this neighbourhood bar!

Old-Time Memories

Prime Rose, Sangolda, was one of the first restro-bar that I visited in Goa when I finally moved in from Delhi. It has been a friend’s favourite joint to hang out for late-night drinks and I remember visiting this place with him directly after landing at the airport, making it our first night as residents of Goa. Since it was late, we didn’t have much of a choice and what I remember this place was basically for drinks and some finger food. Strangely after that, I did not get a chance to visit Prime Rose until recently.

MORE THAN JUST GOAN FOOD- THAT’S SPICE GOA FOR YOU!

The New Avatar of Prime Rose

My same friend had been pushing me to visit this place, and this time around not for drinks but for food and food is something I never associated Prime Rose with. But since my friend compelled and told me about their upping the food quotient, I went ahead for a dinner with family to Prime Rose.

THE SEARCH FOR BEST NORTH INDIAN FOOD ENDS AT MASALA HOUSE, GOA

And to say the least, I was pleasantly surprised, not only the food was really delicious, but also the presentation of food has improved 1000 times. It’s no longer just a bar and finger food place, it’s a restaurant that is in line with any of the food-focused restaurants in Goa. And I saw the change, this time around the place was buzzing with foodies who appreciate good food and drinks and not just a hangout zone for late-night drinkers.

Since Prime Rose has primarily been rated as a bar, their cocktails are definitely a strong point and their in-house bartender has enough to offer and keep you in high spirits. Ask for the bartender’s special take on LIT and I am sure you will ask for more, but a word of caution there, don’t go overboard with this one.

UNCLE TILLY’S- MY NEIGHBOURHOOD PIZZA PLACE!

Food

Coming to food, the place has a good variety on the menu and there is something to suit every taste bud. Focusing on comfort food, Prime Rose surely has added its own touch to regular dishes and even the presentation of food is commendable.

The Chicken Overdose, for instance, was a perfect starter where the regular fried chicken was given some personal twist by the chef and presented with an amazing dip to go along. It became an instant hit with everyone in the family.

TORO TORO, BAGA- EXPERIENCING A TROPICAL CAFE BAR!

A simple dish like Loaded Chicken Nachos was also something that left our taste buds lingering.

Chicken Nachos

Pineapple Polenta with Shrimps was simply one of the best dishes of the evening, I loved the subtle flavours of the prawns balanced with the sweet and sour pineapple.

Spicy Pesto Grilled Chicken should definitely be given a try. Marinated with green apple and basil, this grilled chicken with its juicy flavours is a perfect match to anything you pick up from the bar, even if it means a simple juice.

MONSOON MAGIC AT ANTARES!

Beef Tenderloin served with an orange vodka sauce, polenta and a serving of rice is something that you will not forget for a long time. The combination of stir-fried beef and orange sauce was just amazing.

You can also go in for Pizzas and Burgers, the Grilled Chicken Pizza and BBQ Beef Burger make for a perfect kind of main course to satiate a big hunger or easily shared between 2 people as the portion size is quite good.
