Sublime lives up to its billings. Culinary skills assume an art form in this quaint restaurant. Dishes are presented in a manner apt for royal lineage. It is just wow in every sense of the word.
A-mazing, was blown away with the simple yet so many complex textures in the food prepped here. The watermelon and feta salad was not something you talk about but the nicely balanced simple dish definitely was my highlight among others. the ambience is great and nestled in a old porto goan house they make the experience very serene.. must visit if you are in goa!
We went there for desserts. The interiors are cool. Ordered three desserts and all were excellent. The warm cookie dessert was my favourite. It wasn't as modern as others, but it was very comforting and tasty. Highly recommend the place.
Great location and food!
We have been to Goa many many times but never tried Sublime. We came here for a "survival brunch" party after a wedding couple years ago. We had a lovely time on the beach which is 2 min from the restaurant (beachfront) and then we sat down to have some lunch.
We tried many dishes from raw tuna, beef carpacio, kingfish carpacio, salads, steak, and their grand dessert ensemble which was delicious! Would definitely return back to this place. Kudos!

I visited Goa for the first time a few years back and went to Sublime based on a recommendation from a friend. Now every time I visit Goa, I make it a point to have a meal there during my stay.
Sublime is the perfect example of fusion cuisine that has been done well. The myriads of flavor pallets, textures, and spices, are perfectly blended without overpowering each other to create a new cuisine of its own. It's a well designed mix of formal gourmet styles with hints of inspiration from across Asia and Goa.
The focus is on the fresh and organic ingredients which create a lasting impression. The first time I visited the restaurant it was located on the beach which created a relaxing ambience that made you feel like you were truly on vacation. It has now shifted to Assagao where they have recreated the same ambience but with a different aesthetic. The vibe is still very romantic with dim lighting, candles, beautiful furniture, it creates more of a polished look than a laid back one as you are eating surrounded by the vivid architecture of the classic Portugese style villa.
Both times I have gone there for dinner but I know that their menu varies through the seasons and also through the different times of day offering lighter courses during lunch hours and more heavier and decadent ones during the evenings.
This particular evening we decided to order the following dishes:
1. Asian Style Chicken Salad Cups; with mint, tamarind, and fried garlic: Rating: 3.5/5
The salad cups looked great presentation wise. The lettuce was crisp and juicy which gave you a nice crunch every time you bit into it. The chicken was also cooked well, not too dry. The only thing that stood out to me was that the marinade was a bit too tangy. It could possibly have had too much tamarind. I felt it needed more of the peanut sauce to balance it out.
2. Dynamite Prawns: Rating 5/5
The prawns were amazing. Perfectly crunchy and fiery in every bite. The sauce was not too overpowering as they had coated the prawns with just the right amount of it. They were also cooked extremely well, soft on the inside and a bit of a crisp on the outside.
3. Sous Vide Cooked Belly of Pork; with chinese five spice, elephant food yam, carrot puree, green beans, red wine reduction demi glaze and crispy onion rings. Rating 5/5
Usually I avoid pork belly as it is extremely heavy but this was anything but. There was an earthiness flavor created from the red wine reduction which was absorbed into the meat making it soft and tender. The belly practically melted in your mouth and was paired with crunchy onion rings to balance the texture of this dish.
4. Emperors Balls with Salted Caramel and Sesame: Rating 6/5
DELICIOUS! Crunchy on the outside and chewy and creamy on the inside. You would never think salted caramel and sesame would go together but they actually the pair up quite nicely. This desert is not too sweet or salty, well balanced in flavor and texture.
Overall I had a wonderful meal and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Goa!
This place is setup in an old Portuguese house. The ambiance is really nice and the food is awesome. The staff and service is good. The place has a very relaxed vibe.
True to its name! After a few too many beer-and-chip lunches at the beach, we decided it was time for some "real" food by candlelight. The encrusted portobello mushroom with pumpkin cream, potato gratin, pesto and garlic crostini was a sensuous explosion of flavors. Sublime also gets brownie points for its wonderful staff, super-friendly resident German shepherds and craft cocktails.

Step into Sublime, where the essence of truly sublime dining experience comes to life. Nestled within a veranda adorned with lush tropical plants, the restaurant welcomes you with its comfortable and cosy seating arrangement. The interior boasts high-roofed ceilings, marrying modernist design elements with a touch of sophistication.
What truly sets Sublime apart is its unwavering commitment to the best ingredients. The eggplant carpaccio, for instance, stood out as a testament to this philosophy - each bite was a symphony of silkiness and delightful flavors. The pork chops, an epitome of culinary brilliance, were prepared to perfection. The meticulous attention to detail extended to the sides and plating, elevating the entire dining experience.
A standout creation was the homemade sausage with polenta. The dish was not just food; it was art deconstructed onto the plate. The apricot dessert, a burst of juiciness, provided a sweet crescendo to the meal. And who could forget the dark chocolate truffle, a harmonious blend of complex flavors and inviting textures.
Sublime's dedication to using top-notch ingredients justifies the dining experience's price. It's not just a meal; it's a journey through the finest culinary craftsmanship. From the first bite to the last, Sublime leaves an indelible mark, making it a true fine dining haven that lives up to its name.
Sublime is a delightful restaurant with beautiful decor. The food is excellent and of high quality, the service is very friendly and quick. The owner in particular is an extraordinary personality with a lot of friendliness. He is very accommodating and speaks German fluently. The restaurant has the level of a European star restaurant in terms of cleanliness and quality of food. A visit is highly recommended.
Unreal experience , lip smacking dishes. Tuna, sea bass very very tasty !
Sublime exceeded my already high expectations from the minute we walked in. A beautiful setting in a classic old Goan house. Superb service from highly attentive staff. The menu was very diverse and extremely interesting. My sea bass was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The highlight of this experience was Chris, the chef/owner who was so eager to please and so passionate about everything on the menu. This was a fine dining experience that was easily comparable to any of the top restaurants in New York.
A decent, ambient space that offers great food, drinks and organic salads. It’s situated at Assagaon and has guests coming all over while visiting. The food is great and ambience is also nice. I found the manager to be a bit annoying but overall it’s a decent place to be.
By far one of the best restaurants in Goa. Chris is an absolute gem of a guy and a brilliant chef. He makes magic with his ingredients, especially fish and meats. Last night we were a table of 12 people and each person had the most amazing experience. If anyone tells you otherwise, they don't know food!!

Sublime is a combination of elegance but value in food. Chris has years of experience that flies off the plate that leaves us feeling satisfied every single time! OK there is one exception in the 100 times we have visited in that we were laughing so hard we were hardly able to try a few plates of his delectable dishes, and this must be credited to his regulars and relaxing atmosphere ;)
Take time to enjoy Sublime it's amazing;)
I’ve a holiday home in goa and whenever I’m here I make it a point to never miss a meal at sublime. It is the highlight of my visit. Chris is a gifted chef and a wonderful warm human being. The food is a delight to the eye as well as the palate. The tacos the red pepper Parmesan cream the fresh fish delicately seasoned and the beef cooked to medium rare perfection are all my go tos. And a cuddle with max Chris s gentle German shepherd is the icing on the cake !
