Cafe Antonio — Restaurant in Anjuna

This is a warning to anyone who is single and entering this place. I have had the good fortune of having good food from some really good places within and outside India. However there has never been a traumatic experience as i had in cafe Antonio. The manager seemed like a well mannered man and was talking pleasantly to everyone around me (couples) the moment he came near me he looked at me in an irritated manner. After a while without any instigation from my side he told me that i would have to eat for atleast 1000 rs. I was shocked on hearing something like this from him. He said there was a minimum amount that i would have to order. I was irritated but i said il have something light first and order the rest later. I ordered fries and a burger first. The burger was hot outside but the patty inside was still cold. The fries were stone like and difficult to bite. I informed this to the manager and he said kindly leave at the earliest. I was so amgry but i was also worried because he looked like a bully. I asked him for his gpay no and his immediate was..for people who order less than 1000, there's no gpay option but only cash. The nearest ATM was very far and he said this to put me in a spot. Being from a different state i had a difficult time here and couldn't do anything because of his bullying behaviour. It got me thinking about whati lacked and why he behaved like that to me. Was it my dress, the way i looked or that i didn't come in pairs ? Whatever it is, i had the worst experience of my life here. Its a warning for anyone...

Café Antonio – Beautiful View, But Misses the Mark

Café Antonio, despite the glowing online reviews, didn’t quite live up to the expectations. The place lacked the vibe we were hoping for, there was hardly any crowd, and the indoor seating felt cramped and a bit suffocating.

That said, the view was undoubtedly beautiful, but a great view alone doesn't make up for everything. Thankfully, the prices were reasonable, so it didn’t feel like a financial setback. However, the service was just about average, nothing to really complain about, but nothing memorable either.

We spent about an hour there to soak in the experience. It felt okay overall, not bad, but not particularly impressive either. One major downer was the music inside; it was way too loud. Music should enhance the ambiance, not overpower it. A little volume control could go a long way in improving the experience.

I might give it another shot next time, maybe hoping for a better vibe and some...

What can I say about this very funny place where they serve the so called best hooka where the cover the top with a tissue and then say that’s how it is done … not just that everyone is an expert here who think their way is the right way .. they use magic coal cuz according to them it’s the best and bigger the hooka less the smoke is the logic to go by and the hooka maker takes a great pride in that horrible preparation he even gave his number to me so I can get tips 😂… the place is good for entertainment from these cartoons but if ur there to have food or hooka choose wisely.. but if ur there to laugh at their stupidity this is the perfect place .. from waiters to managers to hooka makers all are way to funny but sweet also but will never accept they are wrong… here is a pic of how hooka is served here … food is not that great and when u ask for Goan food they will say we serve punjabi here...
