Enjoy your meal as you behold some breath-taking views
16 Aug, 2018 by Mini Ribeiro
Goa beckons most of us for its sun, sand, sea and surf and of course food. But, if the dining experience offers a view to match, the enjoyment of the meal is enhanced tenfold. Several places in Goa provide you with spectacular views of the sea as you dine. At others, the sunsets are spectacular. So, select one of these places, sit back, absorb the beautiful sights around you as you savour local food or global delicacies and drinks. My top 5 picks in Goa.
The River, Acron Waterfront Resort, Baga
Quietly tucked away inside the Acron Waterfront Resort, at the confluence of the Baga River and the Arabian Sea, The River Restaurant, offers guests a remarkable view, apart from the varied cuisine and drinks. Expect to enjoy a variety of textures and flavours reminiscent of global and the Portuguese inspired Goan cuisine as you immerse yourself in the serenity around you.
