You can feel Goa's energy in full swing at this three-story gastropub, where patrons jam to live music, belt out their favorite songs at karaoke, or enjoy the occasional screen games. The creative menu features both small and large plates inspired by Goan classics, while the bar does a good line in cocktails---a feni (traditional Indian liquor) Manhattan and grapefruit G&T are house specials.
Popular with locals and foreigners alike, this casual spot serves butter-laden dishes inspired by the cuisine of North India's Punjab region. It is a great place to take an air-conditioned break from the intense shopping of 18th June Road. Plus, it has a garden terrace out back—a cozy spot to hang out.
A walk down a narrow alley in the Fontainhas district brings you to one of the city's best-value restaurants, where reliable Goan classics, conviviality, and bargain prices are the rule. Featuring the award-winning cuisine of chef Linda De Souza, this cheery hideaway is crowded with locals and tourists---indoor seating can get cramped, but tables are also available outside.
