Needless to say, Goa is known for its food, parties & beaches. Although Goa has the unrivaled title of the party capital of India, in the last few years Goa’s culinary scene has gone through a major makeover and it is now buzzing with impeccable epicurean destinations too. Some of them are famous for their ambiance, and some for their elegantly curated cuisine. For the unaware, Goa’s Assagao area is one place that is home to some sizeable culinary gems and one such gem that shines the brightest is Mystras which has lately been winning hearts and luring foodies from far and wide.


Nestled in a restored Portuguese villa, Mystras is known for its picture-perfect opulence, and of course, its delicious modern European and Pan-Asian offerings.


The brainchild of famed restaurateur Richa Malhan, Mystras with its sloped roof, red brick layered interiors, warm lighting, dainty lamps, high ceilings, and vintage-style décor exudes much old-world charm to captivate you. Besides all this jazz going on for Mystras, there is also a pretty al fresco seating area for those who prefer to dine in the open air.


If we talk about the food, in all honesty, the lineup of delicious curation totally justifies the hype for this place. Their stellar menu houses ace modern European & Pan Asian spread that has everything from starters and salads to mains & desserts.


To start your gastronomic journey here, we recommend you try the Beet Duo Salad is prepared with pickled and roasted beet, coffee cardamom soil, orange segments, and goat’s cheese. This is one is a gorgeous little creation that is all about the artistry of flavor and color on a plate!


From the small plates section, we tried and absolutely adored their chef’s special Mushroom Pâté featuring crispy polenta & cremini mushroom pates with parmesan tuile and truffle oil. This delish North Italian dish is known for its simplicity and versatility and is a wonderfully crispy yet creamy creation to balance your taste palate.


Another must-have choice here is Mystras signature Steamed Prawn Dumplings in yellow curry, which we are told is a house favorite and after trying it, we totally understand why!


We tried a bunch of delectables from the main course curation and believe us when we tell you we absolutely loved everything! To provide fellow foodies with solid recommendations, the Following are our top picks that should be on your must-haves list too.


Their luscious Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli made with Sage nutty butter sauce and homemade granola is a terrific dish that is sure to make you visit this dining venue again & again.


Another great pasta dish here is the Seafood Linguini. Featuring fresh seafood and tossed in garlic, parsley, and parmesan confit tomatoes this one is a magical mélange of hearty and versatile flavors that hit just the right spot.


Every seafood lover’s delight, their quintessentially Spanish Paella De Marisco has oodles of succulent mussels, calamari and tiger prawns that together evoke an image of a sunny Valencian day.


Pizza aficionados are guaranteed to love Mystras' wood-fired oven-made authentic Napoli Pizzas, which are in all honesty a revelation!


Cocktail connoisseurs will be thrilled to know that Mystras has a fully stocked bar and their signature artisanal cocktails like the Karilicious, Goan Passion, Vrinda Xalapa and Coffee Fashioned are some ravishing concoctions that are sure to knock your socks off!
