Goa is buzzing! The Christmas parties may be over but Goa is still rocking. Music, dance, markets and festivals will go on into the New Year and beyond.

Adding a culinary spell to this festive mood is Goa’s rich repertoire of fine cuisine. Goa is home to some of the best restaurants in India. Food, like everything else here, is fun and relaxed.

Imagine dining on fine French cuisine in Ashwem with your toes sunk into the cool sand and your fingers curled around the long stem of your wine glass. Or, savour Greek cuisine on a cliff with starry skies above you and the white surf of Vagator beach below.

Inland are trendy, modern restaurants with eclectic menus. Burmese regional cuisine is fine dined under a canopy of mango trees. European culinary styles are blended with South Asian flavours and Italian kitchens absorb local fish and Goan chorizos.

Open air cafes offer fresh coffee, green tea, scrumptious pastries and exquisite brunches. Here you can find German sourdough bread, French baquettes, Goan pois, fresh organic juices and organic muesli -a fine way to begin your morning.

The ubiquitous beach shack is where you will find some of the best sea food.  For a taste of spicy Goan cuisine, the local taverns are the highlight of every village. Here you will find some of the best fish-curry-rice plates which Goa is famous for.
