Fontainhas

We begin our journey in the vibrant and picturesque Latin Quarter of Fontainhas. Take in the colourful houses and charming alleys as your guide sets the stage for our culinary adventure. Goan Confectionery & Chai is the first stop which is a quaint, traditional bakery. Here, we'll dive into the world of Goan sweets with a delightful Bebinca (Goa's layered cake masterpiece) or Dodol (a rich jaggery and coconut fudge), perfectly paired with a strong, spiced Goan Chai. This introduces the Portuguese influence on Goan sweets.

Altinho

We'll navigate through charming backstreets, heading to a beloved local snack joint often overlooked by visitors. Pattoleos & Ros Omelette (Sampling): Experience the unique Pattoleos, sweet rice parcels steamed in turmeric leaves, or a sample of the iconic Ros Omelette, a spicy chicken xacuti gravy poured over a fluffy omelette and served with local bread (pao). This showcases the savoury street food culture and local staples. Local Beverage Stop: Quench your thirst with a refreshing Sol Kadi (kokum-infused coconut milk drink) – a digestive and cooling local favourite.
