O'coqueiro - Pilerne

Most infamously famous place in Goa: O' Coqueiro, Porvorim. This is where the notorious killer Charles Shobhraj was caught. And this where I caught some amazing food. Potato Recheado: Recheado is a hot pungent spice paste mainly consisting of red chillies and vinegar which is very prominent in Goan cooking. Usually used to stuff seafood. Going for the vegetarian version of it, it is a sheer burst of flavour symphony for your tastebuds. First you hit the tang followed by the subtle sweetness and a lingering spiciness in your mouth. Goes perfectly amazing with beer. Mix Veg Xacuti with Goan Poie: this fresh soft poie with the coconut and spice blend based veg curry is a good try for the vegetarians looking to experience goan cuisine. Very subtle flavour profile but you can taste all the ingredients well. Butter Chicken: oh good lord! That butter chicken was just comforting and filling. Could not have asked for more! Quick service. Soothing ambiance. Good quantity and beautiful food. Could not have asked for more on a lazy Sunday. If you are visiting Goa, add this to your itinerary.

Loved loved loved the place, it's vibe and the whole decor and set up. The food was authentic and extremely delicious. For the quality it offers, it's very affordable as well. The Bebinca cheesecake was out of this world! Definitely coming back here to dine!

Amazing fine dine space in the middle of the city. Great service and food. The decor is simple but has the goan feel. Food is also simple pocket friendly and good to eat. A very good family dinner. Here since 1968 and it still stand the test of time.... Kudos to the team... MUST VISIT PLACE

First visited this place way back in 1991. Apart from the famous elusive Charles Sobraj- Top Cop Madhukar Zende encounter at this very place (their busts still stand on the very table to mark this historic moment) what i loved is the ambience and superbly crafted food. A bit steep in terms of pricing but good things never come cheap. Would like to make a special mention of “Sunshine Cocktail” a heady mix of Feni, Pineapple Juice and Coconut Cream if i remember it right.. hope they still serve this exilir

We read about this place on Google when we were looking for places to have lunch around porvorim in Goa. The rating that Google had was good and we decided to stop by and have lunch. The property is a Portugese inspired structure and had good interior s as well. It wasn too crowded and was calm and a peaceful place to have lunch. We ordered a blue pina as part of the mocktail, crab and asparagus soup as an appetizer which was a chef's special and chicken cafreal with fries and poi as mains. Only one poi is served and u might have to order for extra if u are sharing the main. Everything tasted decent enough.
