| WINING AND DINING IN
|
ASIT CHANDMAL, bon vivant and gourmet who travels all around the world on business and pleasure, stays in hotels, eats at the classiest restaurants, has cultured tastes in food, wine, cigars, went eating out in Goa last week. The places he recommends here are the restaurants you must plan to be at if you are spending either Christmas or New Year (or both) in Goa. |
| On our final night we (Jimmy Guzdar, Murad, Jeeva went to J & A's Little Italy near Baga creek (taking the turning at Arpora). Jamshed and Ayesha are producing the most wonderful Italian food. Their beef from Bangalore is particularly outstanding, done as carpaccio, steak with mushroom and tarragon or sour cream and onion sauce, or an Italian beef stew in red wine sauce. Mmmmm. Their wood-fired thin-crusted Pizzas are as good as at Frangipani, if not better. Pizza, Romana is particularly good. Open only for dinner. Don't miss it. | |
