A collection of our favourite bars, bakeries and restaurants – bpb\u2019s old loves + new pursuits.<\/h3>\n

Sipping Partner: <\/em>Maya Pistola Agavepura<\/em><\/a>; Sunning Partner: <\/em>Verandah<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t7 Short 1 Long<\/h3>\n

This is Moira\u2019s most beloved tavern, where star-shaped lanterns shine their light on garden and porch seating at a lovely old mustard coloured home. Their tongue chilly and serradura topped with Baileys are top notch! Call ahead and try to make it for karaoke night on Saturdays. <\/p>\n

Raint Vaddo, near Moira Main Church, Moira, 08779335890, <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAmber Cocktail Bar<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s easy to mistake this beach bar’s cocktail menu for a garden harvest one, where pastel coloured flowers bloom in fragrant cocktails and Ashwem\u2019s hippest hippies gather for post swim aperitivo.<\/p>\n

Ashwem Beach, near Change Your Mind, Ashwem, <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAndron<\/h3>\n

You’ll learn to ignore the plastic chairs at this Goan restaurant once you get started on their seriously stunning pork sorpotel and ribs.<\/p>\n

Mapusa Aldona Road, Nachinola, 9421194482.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAntonio@31<\/h3>\n

Chef Pablo Miranda brings bimblis from his \u201ctree at home\u201d to make the Bimbli Gin Sours, which is just one of the many reasons we heart this tapas and cocktail bar in Panjim. Stop by for cold Urak cocktails on hot days.<\/p>\n

Rua 31 de Janeiro, Altinho, Panaji, 08380057888, <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tArtjuna Cafe<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s no easy feat to maintain the kind of consistency that Moshe has with his little Anjuna cafe that offers the best egg salad sandwiches and yoga classes (hi Ian!) in Goa. <\/p>\n

940, Market Road, Monteiro Vaddo, Anjuna, 07722080190, <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBaba Au Rhum<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a brand new Baba Au Rhum in Anjuna, and they have a killer hot dog baguette on the menu + all the classics you know and love, including a super English breakfast.<\/p>\n

House No. 1054, Sim Vaddo, Anjuna, 09822866366, <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBombil and Satpurush<\/h3>\n

Committed Goa thali hunter and bpb Goa contributor Insia Lacewalla loves Bombil; get the amazing vegetarian thali, she says, with a ton of seafood-of-the-day offerings on the side. For a more local vibe, hit Satpurush and follow it up with a nap at Morjim beach, which is a seashell\u2019s throw away.<\/p>\n

Bombil, opp Military Hospital, Campal Brg, Panaji; Satpurush, New Wada, Morjim.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBomras<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s easy to skip over the tomato salad on the menu here, but don\u2019t. Bomra\u2019s kitchen is a lesson in quiet consistency (khao suey, black scotch eggs, crispy pork salad, egg fried rice) and a reminder that reliability can be sexy too.<\/p>\n

1152, opp. Our Lady Of Health Chapel, Mazal Waddo, Anjuna, 09767591056, <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCream Choc<\/h3>\n

The only Goa scoop you\u2019ll ever need! While they home deliver limited flavours, it’s best to visit this church-view dessert parlour for rotating new ones – we once tried a candied ginger-yogurt ice cream that we can\u2019t stop thinking about. <\/p>\n

Near Our Lady Of Health Chapel Complex, Mazal Waddo, Anjuna, 08766735358, <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEdible Archives<\/h3>\n

Home of the Anjuna hipsters, Grind Bar is the coffee place where you and your beanie need to be scene-y. Order their  Coffee Lemonade + <\/strong>PB&J on sourdough,while you ask after their weekend bar takeovers and new listening room. <\/p>\n

Khorlim, Mapusa, Goa, <\/em>08322262651<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tKokni Canteen<\/h3>\n

Several bigwig chefs have given Kokni Canteen their stamp of approval. Here, thalis and their contents look as good as they taste, and the serradura at the end makes everything better.<\/p>\n

Dr Dada Vaidya Road, near Mahalaxmi Temple, Altinho, Panaji, Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLarder + Folk<\/h3>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSuzie\u2019s<\/h3>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s a Bombay thing, but we prefer to skip the slow many-courses meal and go instead for Suzie\u2019s stellar cocktails (St. Lawrence) + quick orders from the starters menu (Pork Chao Shou). Its pretty, twinkling space populated with plants and peace is great for date night.<\/p>\n

All Ashwem swim days should end at Verandah, where an enchanted Eden houses all the gin you can drink and grassy paths lead to a coveted top table with front row seats to the sweetest gigs.<\/p>\n
