plenty to keep me going there! .ive visited the area before,but only for a few hours as my sis stayed at the csm ,but we never ate in that area.thanks.

Bernards is a great restaurant on the CSM road - lovely chilly frys and they do a lot of engligh food too, recommended.

thanks shirley

Can definitely recommend Lazy Days. Got to know the owner Adolf whilst staying at CSM. We pre-ordered fresh king prawns and lobsters which he bought and prepared the following day. Fantastic especially with fresh parley and garlic sauce and mash.

There a great BBQ place on the Baga road (left as you walk away from CSM) that usually has lots of locals dining there. (It has a separate tandoori oven at the front near the roadside). We preorder a whole tandoori Kingfish and ate that the following evening. Delicious!

I never had a bad meal at all whilst there. The food at CSM is excellent too.

thanks dnm.take it youve been to csm. .

As the csm is situated really close to the beach, i suggest eating at some of the many beach shacks! they're great

Big Banana beach shack (1st on the left from CSM path) is fantastic!!! The food is always top notch, hot and plentiful. If you like steaks you'll love Big Banana. Francis the owner also has a restaurant situated at home in his garden!!!, lovely setting and again the food is fab - It's called Franks and is situated down the lane opposite Shooters Bar.

The best restaurant in goa is a meer 5 minute walk away, Le restaurant. Classy french food at a fraction of the price. It's down the lane next to Shooters which is 5 mins up the road if you turn right coming from the CSM. Also try the fast food places, really just roadside shacks which sell tandoori chicken an dexcellent curries, 10 mins up the road towards calangute there are 2 excellent one side by side. for during the day, get a taxi or bike up to Ashvem beach and visit La Plage the sister restaurnt of Le rsetaurant, much the same only right on the beach and open all day.

Tried After 8 and wasn't impressed, but everyone else raves about it, short taxi ride to candolim.
Fiesta is quite nice althoguh overrated in my opinion.
Apple Pie is supposed to be really good, every year I say i will try it and don't! Both of these are on the road down to Titos again 5 mins from the CSM.

thanks for all above info.ive tried boscos shack on th e beach and i thought it was excellent.
