Miss Wildheart recommends restaurants in Goa

GOA is love of my life. I happen to take minimum two trips a years to Goa. And why not ??? It's a beautiful place and you get cheap beers. Yeah!  I love my beers more than my Rum and Whiskey. Also I love seafood especially Goan Cuisine, the yummy and fresh fish are just irresistible. 

My Goa trips are more about food and every single person who knows me has an idea that sea food is my love. So trust me when I say that I have tried many fancy, average and homestyle restaurants in Goa and below are the ones that have really impressed me with their food and the quality of fish. I make it a point i visit at least two these restaurants on each trips. 


Below are few of my favourite restaurants in Goa.

Kokni Kanteen:
Fish Thali at Kokni Kanteen, Panjim

With amazing interiors and super amazing seafood, this place is highly recommended. The food severed authentic kokni food, that would be staple in Goan household. If you are visiting on sunday do order for the fish thali. 

Must have: Goan style Squid chilly, Serradura.

Check them on Zomato.

Nostalgia:

Entrance of Nostalgia, Madgoan
Bar at Nostalgia
Prawns rawa fry
Prawns curry and Chicken Xacuti at Nostalgia, Madgoan
I actually saw this restaurant in some web show about authentic cuisines. I have been to this place only once and I still remember the taste of the Portuguese-Goan cuisine. The places also host live music at night. 

Must have: Chicken Xacuti and Prawns rawa fry.

Check them on Zomato.


Le Jardin:

Chonak rawa fry at Le jardin, Mapusa

Crab Xacuti and rice at Le Jardin, Mapusa

This is one place I am visiting for last 7-8 years. This is a simple and small restaurant in Mapusa near bus stand. Everything on menu here is a must have.Also most of the time they have some offers on beers and other drinks. Preferably order for thali, they have varieties of fish thali

Must Have: Chonak rawa fry, Surmai Rawa fry, Prawns curry, Crab Xacuti and Serradura

Check them on Zomato

Bobs Inn:

Squid Chilly and Prawns rawa fry at Bob's Inn, Candolim

Crab Xacuti at Bob's Inn, Candolim

Prawns curry and rice at Bob's Inn, Candolim

This is a new addition to my must eat restaurant in Goa. On my recent trip visited this place for late lunch(Luckily it was open as it was peak season). A friend had recommended this restaurant years back and I never got a chance to visit it until now. And I must say the owner (Bob Uncle) is very sweet. I called to check if they are open he asked me to place my order in advance so our food is ready once we reach. 

Must Have: Prawns rawa fry, Squid Chilly, Prawns curry and Crab Xacuti. 

Check them on Zomato

Viva panjim:

This restaurant was an ancestral home which is now converted into a restaurant that serves a variety of Goan and Portuguese Cuisine. The owner and the staff are very helpful and friendly. This place is little difficult to locate but worth all the efforts you put to reach there. 

Must have: Chicken Vindaloo and Prawns curry 

Check them on Zomato

Infantaria:

This is one of those cafe I am visiting for 8-9 years now. I still remember my first visit to this place was for the amazing alcohol offers they had written on the board outside. This place serves Continental and Goan food. Ohh the vegetarian food here is equally nice (I just tasted from my friends plate). 

Must have: Squid chilly, Croissants and Prawns curry.

Check them on Zomato

Only Vegetarian Option:

Navtara:

They have multiple outlet all over Goa and is a pure veg restaurant. I have had breakfast once-twice at the outlet in Panjim. But yeah if you are looking for good vegetarian food this can be one option. But note that they don't serve Goan cuisine here. its more of a south Indian, Mulghali and Chinese kinda place.

There are mini cafes that serve the bhaji and Poe (Goan Bread) and Mirchi bhaji all over the state. You would find the local street food Rassa Omlette vans/stalls everywhere in state. 

If you have tried any of these places mention in the comments what was your experience and what dish did you like the most. Also if you have any recommendation mention them in the comments too.

Other side of the city - A day from Victorian Era

Mumbai...A city that never sleeps, a city which is home to Bollywood and to people from all over the country . This very own city of ours has a huge history of art and culture. People come here to live their dreams and make a life, and get lost in the speed of the city. But Mumbai has a lot more to offer. Ask this to a person who comes to visit Mumbai as tourist, and he'll tell you what a real Mumbai is. In this series I would be visiting such conventional places in Mumbai and giving it a fresh perspective. Starting with Museums and art gallery. So first I visited this beautiful Victorian style Museum - Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum is one of the oldest Museum in India. And it dates back to 1872. Though initial establishment of this Museum was made in 1855 by Lord Elphinstone . The  committee formed for this Museum included; Bhau Daji Lad, Sir J.J and many more. The Museum was initially known as Victoria and Albert Museum. And was renamed after Dr. Bhau Daji Lad in 1975. And...

Monsoon Trek - Lohagad Fort

As monsoon arrives Mumbaikars plans a day trip to waterfalls or forts/hills. Monsoon is the best season for the trek as you get a feeling of walking into the clouds.There are quite a few forts nearby Mumbai for one day trek but if you have never trekked you probably need to start off with the easiest fort/hill.  We (me & my friends) too planned a trek to this beautiful fort near Lonavala named Lohagad. It is considered as the easiest of all and it hardly takes an hour and a half to two hours to get to the top of the fort. This iron fort has a beautiful structure and under heavy monsoon rain, the plateau on the fort becomes misty and cold. Sadly it didn't rain during our visit but it was only cloudy. So overall it was a pleasant weather for a trekking day.   View at the first sight And yes not to forget the  scenic surrounding, which makes climbing the fort a little easy and worth.When you reach to little height a...
