Going local in Goa , would love your inputs too . 1. Ritz Classic - Panjim 2. Balgo - Mupusa 3. Sanil - Porvorim 4. Florintine.- Calangute 5. Star Bar - Old Goa 6. Anand bar & restaurant - Arpora . 7. Kamla Bai - Mapusa Goa - a foodies paradise and it helps to know some locals who can take you around , every nook and corner has some wonderful hidden gems where you get to eat ( mostly ) amazing fish thalis - the average price ranging between Rs 70-110 . Each thali comes with a minimum of prawn curry n rice , perhaps some clams or fish and vegetable preparation - a fillet of rava fried fish. I did manage to cover 6 thali places in 6 short days .I strongly recommend a visit to Ritz Classic , not just for their thali but their extensive range of Goan food - all made keeping their clientele - mostly Goans in mind.Go for their prawn Balchao , soft shell crab and delicious range of rava fried fish. Balgo - another gem , its a hole in the wall eatery - you get the thali and maybe a special of the day - thats it . No menu , just freshly made delicious food and the catch of the day . Anurag Mehrotra who pointed me in this direction rates it as the best for him. My best this trip was Sanil Bar & Restaurant - again not just for the thali but a whole exciting range of fish and shellfish . I ate here twice - loved it that much. Anand was another good place - its a tiny and clean joint and comes with a long waiting at times . Kamla Bai was another great thali place and more. No trip to Goa can be possible without a visit to Florentine for their Chicken Cafreal - the only good thing there in my opinion , and still well worth the visit. For a change in flavor - head to Gunpowder for the most amazing South Indian cuisine , both vegetarian and non vegetarian - again this place heads my list .
