Review O'coqueiro Restaurant - Alto-Porvorim

O' Coqueiro doesn't need introduction! We wanted to go out for a little Christmas lunch & have something Goan. The restaurant was booked & was quite busy, as expected on a Christmas afternoon. We were about to leave when Piedade noticed my elderly mother with me & did a quick second round to check for any available table & he got us one, which just got free, luckily! I tried the pork ribs & Mum had the fish n chips, which apart from being her favorite, is one of those items she can still relish with her remaining few teeth left! 😅 The dishes were well prepared & surprisingly delivered fast despite the lunch hour rush! A big shout out to Peidade for going the extra mile to accommodate us for a delightful Christmas lunch! Will definitely recommend this place for Goan food, good food overall & the service!

Absolutely enjoyed the food here! We travelled from Hyd and we wanted to have some authentic goan food and this place was a hit. Chicken Cafreal, Stuffed Shrimp with Pappad, Broccoli, Fish Curry, Prawns curry were amazing. All my family members really enjoyed the food and had a good time

A really well designed restaurant having its own legacy. Desserts were not that good compared to the food available here. Service was extremely nice and it's a little steep on the prices compared to other similar places in Goa

We discovered this hidden gem by chance on our way to Goa. Authentic goan vibe, decor and taste of food. Loved it!

It is an excellent place to try out authentic Goan cuisine. The place is really beautiful. There was also a person singing really nice songs. The staff behaviour is good. And the food is heaven. It tastes so delicious and different at the same time.

Amazing place with great food, ambience and wonderful service. For history geeks, this place is where the Bikini Killer, ‘Charles Sobhraj’ was nabbed. Amazing place.

Very good ambience showing the Goa's culture, structure, flooring, garden, roofing etc. This place is historically famous for capturing Charles Shobraj.

Amazing Goan experience and authentic food ❤️ The place known for it’s Chicken Cafreal which we had to try. Loved it. Wasn’t very spicy, but delicious. The stuffed squids/calamari was lip smacking. The recheado masala was on point and so was the recheado Mushrooms. The stuffed papad was a bit too oily, but the filling was good. The kaju xacuti with poee was a good choice for the main course. The caramel pudding was tasty and wasn’t too sweet. And the alle belle were the highlight of the night. They were soft and too good 😍 The mocktails were refreshing and nice 🍹 Currently, they also have IPL screening, which is rather enjoyable

We have booked this place for our baby's 1st birthday. Initially, we were not very happy with the pricing per plate (only veg) they have offered us. But still we agreed, because it's a beautiful property with multiple seating arrangements - outdoor garden space, indoor open area, and dining with AC. Also it's centrally located and close by to our home, family and friends. We had blocked the entire restaurant for us (150 plates). On the big day Joan and his team delivered exceptional service. We are very much pleased with their hospitality and delicious food. I would highly recommend this place for organising your events.

Food was awesome as usual and the service was good. They lost one point as they were haggling with me to add an additional table for a party of 9 and wanted to give me a table to seat just 8. Very petty. The ambience is also lovely with a chance to walk around their back yard.

O coqueiro is one of the famous landmarks in Porvorim and is known for serving Goan - Portuguese dishes since ages. From being the first ones to serve chicken cafreal in Goa to constanty dishing out some authentic goan cuisine this placehas always managed to be the talk of the town. Currently with the ongoing worldcup, they have live screenings which you can enjoy while indulging in their worldcup special menu that features some crispy lepos,prawns stuffed papad & the most delicious stuffed crabs. The food here is no doubt excellent but service is top notch too! Your order is ready in no time & the staff makes sure you are attended very well. P.S- They have a parking space of its own so you dont have to hunt for parking on the roadsides.

On the way to the new Manohar airport at Mopa, this is the place to enjoy a good lunch and carry good memories before you fly out of Goa! Nicely designed interiors make for a pleasant time here! The food dishes, particularly the Goan ones (xacuti, vindaloo and cafreal) were really tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch there. Availability of cocktails made of Urak only made our time more memorable! The service was also fantastic and, as we requested, everything we ordered was served in quick time. It was definitely worth visiting O Coqueiro and we would definitely love to visit it again during our next trip!

Straight from Goa airport came here to have lunch. The best seafood restaurant in Goa i feel. Its there at the top of the best eateries in Goa. A nice traditional goan house made into a restaurant. Staff is top notch and food is to die for. Must try the mojitos here. A great way to start your trip to Goa. Parking is available and u wil love the ambience here

Ambience - Awesome Price - A bit pricy Food - Star Hotel style menu & presentation Prinmely located Overall experience was gud. Loved the place

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.

Food was a sort of disappointment especially Cafreal. Rest all was OK. May be my expectations were high as I visited after a long time. But there was a miss somewhere. Staff was great. Place well maintained.
