Petisco Goa

This restaurant is a gem of a find for lovers of fine food and cocktails. Thie food was among the best I have had in Goa in my years of travel to Goa. The cocktails were innovative and delicious. Prices although high are great value for the quality of food and drink. Service was polite, friendly and quick. The restaurant allows pets and the staff were very loving to our cocker Spaniel.

Must Go Place in Panjim, Goa Petisco is just plain simple FABULOUS 😍. If you are in Panjim, Goa, you must go there. If you are in North Goa,you should go there. If you are in South Goa,you should go there. If you are not in Goa, you should go to Goa and go there. So, I went there knowing that it's an award winning restaurant and with high expectations; yet I was pleasantly surprised. Decor and lighting Very minimal, just about right. Lighting is done very strategically......good for both taking the food pictures and for seeing what you are eating. Music During my visit I heard no music. Not did I miss listening to it. It felt right. Wheelchair Accessibility Not wheelchair accessible....both the parking and restaurant. I generally give a star less if the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible but I've gone ahead and given this restaurant 5 stars......I hope the Dhuri brothers take note and make a provision for our specially abled friends. Service Sanad, attended to us and was extremely polite, attentive and knowledgeable. He made sure that we understood what we were eating. The order to table time for the starters, drinks and dessert was less than 10 mins. However, the main course took around 15 mins. Drinks I had ordered the Ultimate G&T and the Old Tom's G&T. Ultimate G&T was too good. Old Tom's G&T with strawberries was good as well but not as good as the former. Food Portion sizes are just right. Very competitively priced. Portion size allows patrons to have a 3 course meal and yet not feel bloated and full as well. I had roasted beetroot and poached pear, assorted mushrooms, herb and nut crusted pollenta and barre de chocolat. Everything was too good especially the pollenta and the poached pears. Keep it up Team Petisco. Manifesting my visit to Goa.

This fine eatery is surely run by people with a passion for creating dishes that blend global techniques with local produce. The cocktails cover the gamut from subtle to strong. My wife’s Mezcal Margarita was smoky and punchy. I was driving and stayed with tonic water. Mussels were delicately steamed doused with a miso butter sauce. Coconut crusted calamaris rested on a bed of salsa. The bbq pork was simply divine - perfectly grilled, tender, not needlessly sweet. We finished off with pan fried mackerel - sitting atop a local variety of small cooked potatoes, nicely fried fish fillets, fennel, pepper slivers and a beurre sauce poured at your table. Splendid!

These guys know how to take you on a rollercoaster ride of tasteful flavours while sitting in the subtly lit ambient indoors of Petisco! Petisco's predecessor TATO have a rich history and have stood test of time to uphold the local cuisine and Petisco takes the bold step ahead with flying colours.. spearheaded by the younger generation. Every dish we ordered was distinct on its signature, From Prawns La Plancha to Steamed Mussels while keeping their original flavours and fusing with the local ingredients the confluence of varying spices and tastes makes every bite special..haha.. Cocktails were good as well although the hot toddy I felt coulve been better and served in a brandy glass.. Penicillin was great though, with a locally sourced cinnamon stick burned on its edge. Calamari was fresh and not rubbery and stale which many other places serve..Calamari when refrigerated for long looses it's taste and gets rubbery.The fish too was fresh and tasty. The limited menu speaks up for the freshness and authenticity of the meals which I would prefer any day. The breadfruit fritter and home made pasta are amazing vegetarian dishes.. Loved the overall feel and vibes .. pricing too is not through the ceiling it's a gem among Goan restaurants I should say.. :)

Great place - all the food and cocktails we ordered were unique and tasty. The dudol cocktail was to die for. I think it’s the tastiest drink I’ve had in Goa. The dishes were also great - the trio mushroom was yummy as were the breadfruit fritters! The chimmichurri was also done differently and quite scrumptious!
