Neil runs the smaller elephant shop the one by Newtons.

Natish runs the shop by FLOYDS

Rama owns them both and is their Papa and my landlord.

I have only seen two elephants around Baga/Arpora so the shops don't do much business I guess. !

As for meals..... Starlight in Arpora for an Indian meal, J&A's Italian for a special night out and a change.

There is another elephant shop opposite Flambees just to confuse things

I'm sure there must be proper thread for this and I will get told off for not using it BUT can anyone tell me anything about these restaurants:

Bombra's in Candolim
La Fenice in Calangute
Ritz Classic in Panjim
Venite in Panjim

We are trying to find some new restaurants to go to in December and have heard of these but don't really know whether they are worth trying.

Thanks
Brenda & Liz

Mai Thai in Candolim, Up the side of Whispering Palms, Excellent Food, Have a wide variety of menu, and will adjust to if needed, Had my weddding reception there last year, Raju and Charlie are so friendly and really make you welcome, would recomend this restaurant to any one.

I'm starving after reading this Mike

Hotel Venite in Panjim has great atmosphere, especially if you get a street balcony table, but very mediocre food when we had lunch there last year.

I'd definately give the Ritz Classic a try BrenLiz.
A favourite with the locals and always busy, the fish platter is excellent, and huge big enough for two.
I haven't tried it, but a Goan friend says the Fish Curry and rice is the best.

Thanks for that Dave and Lassi.

Anyone been to Bombra's and La Fenice?

We intend to try POSH as well.

Hi Brenliz,Yes we go to the La Fenice.Very good food mostly Italian [pittza/ pastas ect]
but also some International dishes.Run and owned by an Italian couple Para and Bhooty.They also have live music sometimes , singing around your table .very romantic Enjoy

Thanks Split

Hi BrenLiz,

Yes i have been to P O S H and the food is superb, staff very good and the setting is fantastic, it's a really enjoyable night and we know Leo the owner and all the staff because we live next door, you will have to let us know when you plan to go and maybe we could meet up, we shall probably see you at one of the meets or maybe i will, the Mrs is not over keen on the meets but she loves P O S H do you know what it stands for ?. Have you been to it's sister restaurant After Seven? we went there for the opening night on Wednesday and they have changed the menu slightly but it was as good as ever.

I could not agree more about Venita, fantastic place, you would not look twice from outside but it is lovely and the food is very good.

Just reading about P O S H we really enjoyed it there, can you tell me what it stands for, just curious really.

After seven have changed their menu, hope they still have the prawn cocktail and the steaks.
