1. Izumi


Mumbai’s favourite Japanese eatery has found its place in Assagao. Sushi, sashimi, yakitori, yakijimo and all your Japanese regulars have been casted on the restaurant’s menu. But the starring roles are played by the Hamachi Carpaccio with Truffle Ponzu and the Shisho Negroni. Izumi has a luscious indoor-outdoor setting and a fine curation of inspired cocktails from the land of the rising sun. Add Izumi to your itinerary, you just can’t miso it!

2. Saz on the Beach


Play pretend you’re in Ibiza, sipping on scintillating summer drinks, soaking in the salty beach vibe and disseminating jealousy on the gram. This is your selfie-friendly bar and eatery on the sands of Morjim. We recommend a sundowner with chilled beers and champagne to complement the view. The highlight of the spot? Undoubtedly the location and the vibe.

3. Elephant and co


From Pune to Goa, this friendly bar is here to make friends in Anjuna. Consider a combination of an all day cafe and a gastropub with a laid back vibe common to its days and nights. The place features an extensive menu of bar food like Chicken wings, Chorizo Chili, Sali Kheema Pao Sliders and all day flatbreads and sandwiches.
