A residential home dining experience par excellence, Having dined here couple of times, and I can say this is one of the best Goan food experience I have had in goa.
The dishes are prepared to perfection and the taste “to die for”. The Stakes, Burgers, Goan dishes, chocolate pudding 😍.
Great family-run place for homemade burgers. Loved their chicken classic burger. Very peaceful ambience, nestled in a lush garden. They have a variety of goan curry options as well.
Tldr: Best Beef burgers and pork vindaloo in Goa, Goan house vibes, plays old English music, Great host.
We found this place as we were riding by near Vagator beach and we went to this place twice in the 7 days we were in Goa, we loved it that much. The restaurant is set in the courtyard of a 100 year old house, next to a serene garden. The setting is minimal, the ambience makes one feel like they're dining in the house of their Goan aunt. The host and owner of the restaurant is Pepper, short for Perpetua who is warm and knows her way around cooking delectable Goan fare. She told us the restaurant is over 30 years old and the soul of the place resonates likewise with age and history.
We went to get dinner and ordered the beef burgers, which had the best cooked beef we've tasted so far. We also got strawberry juice which was fresh, sweet and sour. For the main we had pork vindaloo, where the pork has been simmered on a low flame for 3 days. The meat was falling off the bone and the gravy was rich, meaty and contained depth without being too heavy. We ate our vindaloo with toasted Goan bread called Poee which was freshly procured for us upon request.
For dessert we ate strawberry cheesecake, with cheese that was made from three different cheeses procured locally. The entire meal was accented by the soft flowing lights and old music that prompted one to slow dance.
We also had a lovely chat with Pepper and thank her for her hospitality and for the care and attention she gave to each course of our meal.
Don't miss eating at this homely restaurant on your next Goa trip!
