You may not be able to find this restaurant with ease. Its one of those tiny lanes in between the houses that will take you to a barren beach spot; and there is Calamari a popular beach shack for international tourists.
At first, we being the only Indians at the restaurant weren't too happily welcomed by the staff.
But determined to have a good time in Goa, my husband and I ordered a couple of drinks and over butter garlic mushrooms and squids we read our books. Soon we both ordered another round of drinks which went well with steaks and pies. The food was great! The staff gradually opened up and smiles appeared across their faces. A meal for two would cost you between Rs 800 to Rs 900.
The ambience is that of a simple beach shack with wooden flooring and World Space music playing lovely country music. Since that part of the beach is not frequented by local tourists, it is a hot spot for all international tourists for sun bathing and relaxing without being intruded upon.
Calamari has been rated as one of the top five beach shacks across the world by the Observer Food Monthly.
Location: Its in one of the bylanes on the road to Candolim. If you like to explore, then ride into the little bylanes I am sure you will find it!
