Lazydays... Adolf has moved to Calangute near Molly Malone's, the new setting is fabulous and the menu was the same as last season so not expensive but think he should bring out a new menu to suit the much more upmarket setting, the food was excellent and nicely presented, one of our top places in Calangute

Cuba ... the old Lazydays in CSM Road Baga, went to the opening night, there was a free buffet and the staff coped very well with the crowded bar, the new owner seemed to be on ball checking the buffet, chasing staff and mingling with the crowd, think it will be a popular with the Brits however I felt a bit of a traitor to Adolf who worked had so hard to build up the bar only to be push out by the landlord but will go back later in the season

Eclipse bar... Baga Road the whole place has been refurbished and has a new owner but still does excellent food really cheap. fillet steak with trimmings 270, mixed grill 300, small beers 50, large beer from 80, a very casual friendly place

Why Not Tashe.. on the Calangute to Arpora road just after the turn off to Mapusa another popular cafe type of place for hungry Brits, about 250 for big plates of fish n chips with mushy peas also homemade pies with veg, choice of potatoes or chips and a gravy jug also do nice pork chops and the Indian food is good as well

Decades... on the Calangute to Arpora road a good music bar, live music Friday, Monday Tuesday, football on big screen Sunday, we like Mondays evenings when Almost Famous are playing as there is normaly a good crowd dancing, the India food is very good also does basic stuff like Burger and chips and is now doing steak and fresh fish but have not tried it

Nik ‘N Nats.... Arpora very good Euro food, all most fine dining however they put togather some strange things like fried battered onion rings with steamed fish, steak with deep fried cheesy jalapeno’s and that's all you will get unless you tell them it you want want veg or salad also chips, mash, plain or rosemary potatoes, they don’t seem to charge any extra. We like it there now we know to ask, it is a nice setting and not expensive in fact the drinks are less than a lot of bars charge

Nick’s Place ... Arpora always made very welcome and have often enjoyed the Tuesday or Friday quiz nights even if we are rubbish, Bob make them good fun and still might win on the bottle top draw, the food’s all ways very good right across the range, Indian, Chinese and Euro and the place is squeaky clean including the loo’s, one of our top places in Arpora

Navana ... Holiday street Calangute yet another popular place with the Brits, good inexpensive food and drinks, prices similar to “Tashe” but a nicer setting with a good atmosphere at the bar, a great place for a late night cap

Only been to a few places in Candolim, haven’t been down that way much what with the Carvery meets not having started however think Clif's quiz night starts this Friday, will do an update in a couple of weeks
