A lovely spot with genuinely helpful staff. Our favourite lunch of Masala papad, Goan fish curry (chunky white fish), rice and fresh roti with cold Kingfishers was always served promptly with a smile. No intrusive music, just a consistently enjoyable and relaxing experience. Sunbeds, showers, loos all available.

Artjuna Garden Cafe

In the sunny beach state of Goa there is a special place called Artjuna Garden Cafe and Lifestyle Shop. Established in an old portuguese house surrounded by a beautiful garden, this location has developed into a popular and trendy place.... With a large outdoor cafe, lifestyle shop, event area, workshop space and kids play ground, Artjuna is truly worth a visit. Artjuna began as a dream of Moshe and his wife Anastasia. The vision of having a special place to set up a workshop and exhibit their unique hand made leather bags, belts, pouches and jewellery designs. They created a space where they could display other art designers, as well as sit, talk and enjoy with friends and customers. In the last 10 years Moshe and Anastasia have developed a beautiful range of products for the Artjuna Lifestyle Shop. Inspired by the spirit of India, their creations into a global fusion design. The garden cafe is a lively and vibrant place with a welcoming atmosphere. Filled with mango trees and frangipani flowers, the garden grows colourful and lush. There is plenty of space to enjoy delicious and healthy food, meet up with friends, chill out and enjoy the excellent library. Artjuna is open for all day breakfast, lunch and light dinner. The food is fresh and contemporary, with a great choice of salads, sandwiches and popular dishes from the Mediterranean cuisine. Make sure you try one of our beloved coffee delights, home made cakes and tempting cookies. We hope to see you soon.

Rasa

Reviewed By Alf - Huddersfield, United Kingdom

The Rasa restaurant impresses almost immediately by having quality tablecloths (not common in Goa) and a reasonably spacious Seating arrangement. They cater for breakfasts, lunches and dinner plus having a whole range of snacks available at almost any time of day.
The service and attention was impeccable but also very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent both in quality and presentation, which was imaginative without being excessively showy. For us the portion sizes were also just right - I hate leaving food but also dislike being overfilled with food; the judgement was spot on.
Prices are very reasonable and competitive, as they have to be in Goa, but the quality of the ingredients wasn't compromised to match the cost. In the evenings the restaurant is very popular, deservedly so; it may be wise to make an advanced booking or, failing that, to get there early.
(The only minor negative that I could mention is that on one evening when we were there a large group (Brits) occupying a table right in the middle of the restaurant insisted upon smoking, despite "no smoking" signs being displayed. They were clearly spending quite a bit of cash so the staff were reluctant to correct them. We were moved to a more smoke-free area immediately, upon request. I blame the diners completely for their selfishness and ignorance.)
