Hi Liz
You will have no problems finding places to eat in Candolim, as was mentioned Pete's shack is very good, Ganesh shack at the bottom of Candolim beach road, Fisherman's cove is nice on the main road near the Mango grove, fox's steak house just around the corner of fisherman's cove down the highland beach resort lane, also try Shivers down the lane opposite Kingfisher villa 50 rupees from where you are, someone has miss led you it is not near the football ground it is behind Chandras and when you come out of the road leading to it fisherman's cove is to the left on the the otherside of the road about 30 meters, turn left on that main road walk down past newton's supermarket and Candolim beach road is on your left. if you go the other way you have horizon view geust house and restuarant which is on the corner of another road with good choice restaurants the bistro, the mermaid etc, you can't go wrong in Candolim for restaurants and bars. i think i know the people who you are renting from but i won't mention their names on here. Also while you are in Candolim get a taxi to Nerul Rs 50 ask for the Riverside bar or Amigos they are both very good and extremely cheap local prices not holiday makers prices, Amigos is very good for fish and is famous in the bourne films where the car shoots off through the bridge into the water, anyway enough of all that rubbish, have a good time and try to get to the HT meet at the Carvery on Candolim beach road on a Wednesday around 8pm or get in touch before you come over and we could meet up somewhere.
Take care and when are you coming over?.
