Al Fresco by Bodega — Restaurant in Goa

If I could, I would give it a half star and that too for its gallery, location and aesthetics. We didn't try their food so can't comment on it. Desserts were really nice and coffee was authentic. The service however is really bad. So you need to send a WhatsApp message on their number to book a table and order food. We weren't aware of it so as we strolled in on a lazy afternoon it had quite a few tables available. We picked one and sat there trying to figure out what to order. We ordered 2 coffees and 2 desserts. The order took over 20 minutes and our coffee was cold when it arrived(we didn't order cold coffee).

Visited this place in the month of November this year. The ambience here is quite and absolutely fantastic. Seatings are limited so you could be on waiting on weekends. Here you need to place order through WhatsApp or directly on counter. If you have multiple orders to place then be ready to get up multiple times to go to counter, coz here waiter won't be helping you for suggestions or to discuss add ons.

Some of the dishes we tried were: Turkish poached eggs, Vietnamese cold coffee, Omlette, Chicken burger, Latte, Lemon ice tea and Red velvet cupcake. Above all the Chicken burger and Red velvet cake were tastiest. Other items were like ok-ok kind of.

Imp note - This restaurant changes their menu on a monthly basis. Mainly on Sunday...

Such a pleasure visiting Cafe al Fresco in Panjim! We were traveling back from Basilicaof Bom Jesus and happened upon this place. It's set in a beautiful property with greenery and classic European architectural themes. The cafe was pretty quiet when we got there and our food was served with near promptness. We ordered the yogurt with fruit, falafel, mixed salad and a slice of lemon cheesecake, which was to die for. For drinks we got a fresh lime soda and mixed fruit juice. The food and drinks were all freshly prepared and tasty and the ambience of the interior was so calming and peaceful. Plus it's a great spot for taking pictures! Would definitely recommend folks visiting/in the Panjim area to go check it...
