The Best Restaurants in North Goa

Goa really does have something for everyone. And no better example of that than the smorgasbord of food you can find there. I have been going to Goa for over a decade with the devotion of an addict, every year since the first. Enough has been said about the magic of Goa, and I am assuming if you are reading this list you have already gotten a whiff of it.Eat out in the best restaurants that this ancient city has to offer. From laid-back cafes to seaside shacks and cosy restaurants, North Goa truly has a vibrant dining scene. The food is a mix of Portugese flavours and Indian spices with coconut milk and vinegar as traditional ingredients and a glass of port wine to accompany. Here's my list to better lead you to all the fabulous places to eat, drink and feel the magic.

ARAMBOL, North Goa

• Fellini's Pizza - Italian style pizzas, calzones and pastas. Given that it is easier to get a good pizza every few kilometres in Goa than Delhi or Bombay, I won't say its worth driving all the way to Arambol for just this. But if you are in the area and don't mind sacrificing the sea view, or any view at all for that matter, Fellini's is a good option for a decent bite. Of course you can take-away too. Opens at 7pm. Where: Main Arambol Beach Road, Near Chiilly Guest House. Opens at 7pm. Phone Number: 09881461224

• Magic Park - The name says it all - a magical green oasis tucked away in Arambol. This is a gourmet vegan restaurans, sure to tantalise all you health buffs. Also a yoga and spiritual center. Where: Ana & Arun - House No 2, Moddlo Waddo. Phone Number: 0091/9637980012

PERNEM, North Goa

• Matsya Freestyle Kitchen - This year's newbie on the scene is an exciting one to take time out for. On the roof of Samata's - a holistic retreat - in the idyllic village of Pernem, looking over verdant grounds, the setting alone is a delight. But wait till you hear about the food. Chef Gome's food is innovate as modern cuisine should be. It is known as a freestyle kitchen as the menu changes regularly based on what is seasonal and fresh. Most of the ingredients are sourced from their organic garden nearby. A 5 to 7 course meal awaits you - one simply picks their preference in protein (seafood, meat or vegetarian) and the rest is a scrumptious surprise! They take pride in their seafood creations.

• Tamarind Cafe - In the same property as the above, set right below Matsuya's, in the garden, under a humbling 200-year old banyan tree is the Tamarind Cafe. Chef Kaoru Kawabe, from Japan creates some of the finest organic, vegan macrobiotic meals in town. The menu changes daily so you never get bored. 12pm to 3pm. Tamarind Tree has 2 sister properties nearby, and they are a fantastic option for those looking for a good yoga and/or wellness retreat to stay or take classes at, while being around like minded people. Where: It is located a little ahead of Bhumika and Ravalnath temple. Phone Number: +91 77985 19012

MANDREM, North Goa

• Lazy Dog - If you are looking for some peace and quiet this is where you need to be. It is set on one end of Mandrem Beach. The restaurant is inside a Portuguese style villa, but in the courtyard around a nice pool - so you still get sun and can swim if you don't feel like walking a few feet down to the sea. And the food isn't bad either, definitely better than neighbouring shacks but it is largely for the ambiance and its beautiful facade perched on top of the beach that enforce my recommendation. The amiable Gopal Kaushik who set-up the first Lazy Dog in Manali, opened this with Goa partners last season. Try: Warm Grilled Salad, Prawn Curry w/ Prawn Pickle, Fried Fish. Phone Number: +91 9421193820 +91 9765853549

• Dunes - If you are in Mandrem this is another decent option for food. A glorified shack really and the menu indicates the same. Seafood here is fresh and plentiful. Phone Number: +91 832 224 7219

ASHVEM, North Goa

• La Plage - This is one place on top of everyone's list. Their menu is a great mix of French, Italian, and contemporary American dishes. More than the food however, La Plage has managed to create a wonderfully charming ambiance with coloured wooden tables and chairs, casually placed on the beach so your toes may never be separated from the soft sand and your ears from the sounds of the sea. The menu does keep changing, but few staples remain. Try: Liver Pate, Bee burger (one of the best in town), Gratinated/Stuffed Mussels, Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna (please try and order it as rare as possible). Phone Number: (+91) 9822121712

Anahata also conducts great wellness classes if you want to give one of those a shot before your meal - call and book for both! Where: House No. 367, Next to Ajoba Temple, Ashvem Beach. Bawa: Phone Number: +91 7720034172

• Shanti - You could best describe this as 'shack chic' being a part of the designer-hippie revolution. It is located in front of a rather expansive part of the coveted beach on Ashvem, with ambient sections and layers to the venue; and a dance floor facing the sea; all making it an enticing option for sundowner drinks and parties.

• Sublime - Maybe a fairly new location but Sublime has been around and had people gushing for years. Chef Chris Bee's menu is innovative, and inspiring. We usually prefer to focus on starters and salads, which seem to have way more oomph than the mains. Try: the Asian Style Tuna, Sesame Beef Salad, Clams w/ Chorizo. In the mains they do a mean Blue Cheese Steak and Filo Pastry Bon-Bons w/ Chocolate Ganache for dessert. Phone Number: +919822484051

If you are looking for a breathtaking sun-downer or a fun party to shake-it at, this is the perfect place to do it. Good DJ acts happen here regularly. Open wooden cabanas, wicker furniture and breezy white drapes may be ubiquitous in Goa but ones that are surrounded by the tranquil Chapora river on all sides, can't be beat. Where: 301/1,Vaddi. Siolim. Phone Number: 0832-2270096/2270097 +91 7507003585

Phone Number: +919850621347

• Salt N Pepper - According to me, it is home to one of the best beef burgers in Goa! And just for that we suggest you try it next time you are in the area.

Phone Number: +91 98221 63522. 08322273596

If you are looking for something truly special this is it. You call at least a day or two in advance - tell the couple what your budget is, if you have a preference for meat or fish and they plan a menu based on your preferences especially for you. The food is French - elegant, light - and only if you appreciate the beautiful subtleties of French food should you indulge here. Otherwise, anyway a good idea to stop here to pack-up breads and desserts. Where: On the Mapusa Para Rd. Between Tara Verde and Don Bosco School. Phone Number: 097670 38901

ASSAGAO, North Goa

• Gunpowder - No, it didn't all end in Hauz Khas Village. These guys smartly moved to Goa after shutting shop in Delhi - to open a bigger and better Gunpowder in the green, tranquil village of Assagao. With access to better seafood, pork and buff - the food is only that much better. Great food combined with rather romantic surroundings - You certainly must go try.

Gunpowder

• Villa Blanche - This is so much more than just another cafe. Run by a German lady Yogini and Marco. Villa Blanche is a small cafe set in the courtyard of a quaint Portuguese villa. The place itself is so chirpy with over hanging trees, yellow walls and colourful mosaic tables. I would suggest booking for one of Yogini's great sunday brunches, where she lays out a full buffet spread. For me Villa Blanche is more about the ambiance than the food.  Another reason I fell in love with Villa Blanche is because of the idea behind Marco's Big Blue Bus. Marco drives his bus all the way from Germany to India and along the way he picks up all sorts wonderful delights that later make their way in to Villa Blanche's menu. Great for breakfasts and Sunday brunch. Where: 283 Badem Church Rd. Socol Vaddo. +919822155099. Monday to Saturday 9am to 5.30pm. Sunday Brunch 10am to 3pm (Reserve).

Where: Follow lane across Mackee's Market. Back road Anjuna. Phone Number: 098228 66366

• Shamba - This new entrant is definitely worth a stop-over. The menu borrows from world flavours, but what is refreshing to see is some African inspiration on the menu.

They certainly are a juicy mouthful. Where: Anjuna Main Road, Opposite Paradise Guest House. 8600990220

Phone: +9176909535657 +918322273479

• Startlight - Small local eatery for delicious Goan food and seafood. Coming from Anjuna it is a minute drive past Club Cabana on the left. Phone Number: 08322269965

• Heidi's Beer Garden - Goa's first proper beer garden, as shocking as that may sound - it is genius. The setting is basic - wooden benches, gravel floors, festive hanging bulbs, greenery bordering the periphery; it does come close to replicating a traditional beer garden. But it isn't all fluff and no substance as they boast of 40 varieties of beer! The owner is friendly and welcoming - there really isn't any reason you aren't clanking your beer mugs right now. Prost! Phone Number: +91 9766641886

Also don't miss the Burrito Boys for a good dose of some fiery Tex-Mex, Burgers from Coffee Heaven, Belgian Chocolate Waffle Stand.

• Lila Cafe - They have just moved to a new location. Though I am not head-over-heels over the food - it is a hit-or-miss depending on what you order, but it has a nice vibe, with a big enough menu that you could find something to be happy with. And still a good option for breakfast in the area. Try: Ham & Cheese Croissants, Omelettes.

BAGA, North Goa

• Baker's Studio - Opened by the owners of Cafe Delicieux, Lucie Masson and Varun Sood. This one is a lot bigger with a more extensive menu. They do breakfast and Sunday brunches too.

CANDOLIM, North Goa

• Bombras - Burmese Chef and owner, Patron Bawmra Jap has brought his native cuisine, adapted it with a few local ingredients (mainly types of fish available fresher here) and given the country what I believe to be the most authentic and wonderful Burmese restaurant. Their salads are a great way to start, along with some of their delicious cocktails. They do some fantastic salads like Pickled Tea-Leaf Salad and Bomra's Tomato Salad, but I am especially crazy about their Crispy Pork & Pomelo Salad! Next on to the mains; Steamed Chilli Red Snapper, Suckling Pig, Spicy Mussel Curry, Vermicelli w/Prawns. Save room for the Chocolate Fondant Cake its one of the actually good ones out there. On Wednesdays, they serve the traditional Khow-suey with all sorts of accompaniments to go with. Where: 247, Souza Vaddo, Fort Aguada Rd. Driving towards Taj this will come on your left. Opp. Kamal Retreat Fort. +91 9767591056 +91 9011947436

• Republic of Noodles - So most of the eateries on this list are much more deserving of a stop-over. And though it may not be on top of my list it does excite and comfort many in search of good Asian food. Where: Lemon Tree Amarante Beach Resort, Vadi. On main Candolim Rd. (+91) 832 3988188, (+91) 8600174794

Everything is made fresh and in-house here. Also, a good spot for breakfast and sandwiches. Where: 409A, Fort Aguada Road. +919326112006

NERUL, North Goa

• Bhatti Village - One of my favourite spots for Goan food. A small, no-frill place, but absolutely worth it because not only is the food good you get to try a variety of local dishes you wouldn't get at the usual places. We did end up eating more meat here than seafood, but not because the latter option wasn't well represented too. Also try and book before hand because it is very small and it would be a shame to have to leave with an empty belly. Start your meal with a plate full of crispy fried whitebait, beef cutlets and some cold beer. Pace yourself because everything there is good. Try: Roast Pork, Pork Amsol, Pork Ambot , Beef Tomato (this was quite simple, not spicy and might have been one of my favourites) - their special bread loaves to mop it all up, Fish Roe ( this one I haven't gotten to try as yet but heard so much about it that it deserves a mention) and Caramel Custard. Phone Number: 9822184103

SINQUERIM, North Goa

• Wok & Roll - Don't let the cheesy name put you off for they do some fairly good Pan-Asian food, in my opinion the best in town. Try the Fish in Banana Leaf and Spare Ribs. Where: Aguada - Siolim Rd, Sinquerim, Aguada Fort Area. +9190490 22348

PANJIM, North Goa

• O Fogo - Head to Fogo for a real gastronomic treat! Try: Squid w/ Choriz, Fish Carpaccio Miso Mustard, Grilled Goat Cheese Salad, Mains - Seabass, Asian Inspired Beef.

• Ritz Classic - One of my old favourites. Simple local place with great Goan food. Best for their seafood, I usually get the Fish Thali. Where: Wagle Vission Building, 1st Floor, 18th June Road. Near National Theatre. +91832 6644796, +91832 2426417

• Mum's Kitchen - Mum's kitchen started as an endeavour, to keep alive Goan family recipes, that we are inevitably losing in the tourism stampede. Their menu comprises of recipes given and taught to them by Goan mothers from all over. All of which, would just be an endearing story but, the food gives it soul. You also get to try Goan Hindu and Goan Catholic dishes - which means a good mix of meat, seafood and vegetarian dishes. My favourite part is the quaint, private attic dining space - replete with its own kitchen, dining table, chilling area and fancy crockery. Try: Choriz Pulao. Where: 854, martins building, Dayanand Bandodkar street, Panjim-Miramar Rd. +9198221 75559

• Anand Bar - A simple Goan eatery with great seafood. Definitely try Rawa Fried Chonak - though pretty much everything is great here, including value for money. Get ready to wait this place is popular with locals and tourists. Where: St. Inez, Panjim. Opp. Taj Vivanta. , +919822486939

• Black Sheep Bistro - Another newbie on the scene but certainly no amateurs - the owner couple are both graduates of Les Roches, Switzerland. They later worked for hospitality brands like the Ritz, and have now brought a big piece of all that in to the Black Sheep Bistro. This restaurant uses organic and sustainable produce - farm-to-table is their philosophy. The food is modern, with a vast flavour profile and absolutely mouth-watering. They have a full bar to boast, with ace cocktails. Certainly, give this one a shot. Where: Swami Vivekanand Road, Next to ICICI Bank. +91 832 222 2901
