Hi Gooorooo - That's a pretty good list - bon apetit!

I would suggest two others at opposite ends of the scale.

Soumyen's Kitchen - In my humble opinion, the best food around the coastal strip. Certainly not the cheapest and the ambiance is average but the food and service are superb.

The Plantain Leaf - more cafe than restaurant and an absolutely wonderful vegetable thali will set you back 70rps (last yrs prices). It's usually the first meal I have when I get to Goa - I know I'm on holiday when I've had one of those!

I hope you'll do a review once you return. :tup

Excellent - thanks!

Souymens has been recommended by a few people so I'm keen to try it.

I plan to write a very long and boring trip report, including restaurants reviews, to bore the pants off you all when I get back :D

New place for breakfast or brunch. Highland Beach Road - turn up by Fishermans Cove and walk as far as you can until you reach black iron gates, through there is a little restaurant, excellent value. At the moment No name.

Where is Souymens and Rising Waves please. They've both had good reviews on here and we'd like to try them when we're there in 10 days time. Thanks :tongue

Souymens is in a side road off the candolim road, coming from calangute head toward candolim and when you are almost at the big temple on the right, that has recently been extended you go down the small lane almost opposite ...it is signposted and its down there on the right, not very far....Rising waves you keep on toward candolim and go past football ground (market opposite) and it is tucked away on your right behind some buildings there.. go through to the back where there is seating
both are great restaurants :tup

Tookatuktuk, the only thing missing from your picture is the dog who was always asleep by the gate each morning that we arrived! - Orange & Pineapple or Orange & Pomegranate are my favourites, OH liked the Black Grape with ginger also. We're probably shooting ourselves in the foot recommending Orangeboom, it will probably get packed out now!

Never saw the dog when we arrived, Miccie - maybe it was checking out the tut, at that market up the road ;)

Thanks Chilly for the directions, will certainly try them both out, along with a few others that have been recommended on here, when we arrive, a week on Friday.

I would describe it as a very light and thin yorkshire pudding.

Max, that looks delicious!!

Personally I prefer a bacon buttie for breakfast but for a starter for dinner, well...... bring it on !
