The restaurant is decked with nostalgic items like vintage mirrors and antique Portuguese furniture and there’s a small clutch of tables set out in the balcony.

5. Nostalgia

A feeling of cosy warmth envelops you as you enter Nostalgia, and the odd knick-knacks on the wall just add to that feeling that you’ve entered a home rather than a well-established restaurant. Nostalgia is redolent of Goan hospitality and the food is a great testament to that fact. This is where you can order the harder-to-get-a-hold-of Goan dishes like Rissois and Apa-de-Camarao, local vegetarian favourites like Ambadeanchem (hog plum) and Veg pulao as well as home-made Alle-Belle and hard to find Sans Rival. Don’t miss the musical evenings from Thursday to Sunday. There’s an excellent winelist. The welcoming, homely atmosphere makes this a great place for group gatherings. If you’re on a girls holiday, book a table at Nostalgia for a great night out!
Price range: Rs 1200 for two 
Address: 608 Margarida’s Haunt, No Bairo Ozro, Raia 
Open from: 11am to 3pm and 7pm to 11pm
