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.)

Bean Me Up

Bean Me Up, is a popular restaurant is Goa, serving wholesome, organic and lip smacking vegan meals. We have an extensive variety in the cuisine we offer and are most popular for our salads, fresh juices and entree.

Reviewed By Gwen P - Valencian Country, Spain

Great vegan food in a lovely setting! I came here with a friend and was surprised by the size of the menu and the variety of food on offer. If anything it was a little overwhelming as so many things sounded good and I didn't know what to go for! I had the vegetable pizza with rucola and vegan cheese and it was amazing- large and extremely tasty and creamy
My friend ordered the portobello mushroom burger and said that it was also great. If you are vegan/veggie and in the area you should definitely come here!

Food was outstanding here, and the service was quick and efficient, very friendly staff. I was advised to book a table. Had the olive starter and honey crispy chicken for starters to share and chateaubriand for main which was delicious and tender. Probably my favourite restaurant in baga. They do take credit/debit cards.

Even though slightly further away, at the end of the road, this place has a lovely ambiance with lights, photographs and candles all over the place. Quiet and romantic, perfect for couples.
Food is mostly italian and continental, with few indian option as well. It was tasty, however the service was very slow. Nice and refreshing Mojitos.

Bluebird

Reviewed By Sonalee8 - Bengaluru, India

We overheard someone recommending Bluebird for authentic Goan cuisine. The person said how not too many people know about this small family run restaurant.
We reached there on a Wednesday night, 20 min before they close. ( they close at 10:30pm so plan accordingly). We were a big group of 7 people. Instead of turning us back, Antonio and his family beamed huge smiles and welcomed us in.
We ordered fish cafreal, chicken zaccuti , Goa chill pork , beef , stuffed crabs and jeera potato ( a must try ). Everything came with a generous serving of rice.
The food was finger licking good. Wholesome. Highly recommend this place if you are foodie.

Well worth a visit if in the area, never disappoints! We had the chicken sushi to start which we can well recommend! We also had the Lemon Fish special with a Miso Sauce and Mashed Potato to share with the Terryaki chicken both were lush! It is not a cheap place but what Japanese restaurant is, you get what you pay for and this is quality!
