During my recent trip to Goa, I had the pleasure of dining at the renowned Martine Corner restaurant, and it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful experience that I will cherish for a long time. Nestled amidst the charming streets of Goa, this restaurant exuded a warm and inviting ambiance from the moment I stepped inside. As I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by the friendly staff who guided me to my table. The decor of Martine Corner was tastefully done, with a perfect blend of contemporary elements and traditional Goan influences. The walls adorned with colorful artwork and the soft lighting created a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. The menu at Martine Corner was a gastronomic delight, featuring an array of both local and international dishes. Being a seafood enthusiast, I couldn't resist trying their Goan prawn curry, and it exceeded my expectations. The prawns were fresh, succulent, and perfectly cooked, while the curry had just the right balance of spices, creating a symphony of flavors in my mouth. I also savored the traditional Goan fish curry, which was equally delicious and showcased the rich culinary heritage of the region. What impressed me the most about Martine Corner was their commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The vegetables in the salads were crisp and flavorful, and the herbs and spices used in their dishes were aromatic and vibrant. Each plate was beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and passion for creating culinary masterpieces. Apart from the delectable food, the service at Martine Corner was exceptional. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with recommendations and special requests. They took the time to explain the dishes and their origins, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. To complement the meal, Martine Corner also offered an impressive selection of wines and cocktails. I opted for a refreshing glass of chilled Goan feni, a local spirit made from cashew apples, which perfectly complemented the flavors of the Goan cuisine. What made Martine Corner even more special was its rooftop seating area, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding area. As I enjoyed my meal, I was treated to panoramic vistas of Goa, with the sun setting over the horizon, casting a golden glow over the landscape. It was a truly magical moment that added an extra layer of enchantment to my dining experience. In conclusion, dining at Martine Corner was an absolute delight. From the warm ambiance to the delectable cuisine, attentive service, and stunning views, everything came together to create a truly wonderful experience. If you find yourself in Goa, I highly recommend paying a visit to Martine Corner and indulging in their culinary delights. It will undoubtedly be a memorable and exceptional dining experience.

An amazingly vibrant place in Betalbatim in Goa. This place lies in a middle point from North & South Goa but preferably nearer to South Goa. It all started in 1989 when Mr Martin retired and began with just '4' tables where the locals would come over for a booze and the taxi drivers would share some food out here. Slowly they started serving authentic goan delicacies like sorpotel, cafreal, pork vindaloo and goan curries and it picked up. The dishes were prepared originally by Mrs Carafina Pereira (Mr Martin's spouse) and now it has become a go to place for every tourists serving almost 300 guests! Once you enter the restaurant, you will get the old Goan vibe and peppy music and well organized space out here. A section of the restaurant has pictures taking you through the history of the venue with uncountable celebrities dropping by over the years. Coming to food, we tried: 1. Chicken steak in mushroom sauce (4/5) - the chicken nice and juicy with roasted vegetables around and soaked in cheese and mushroom sauce. 2. Port assad (3/5) - a bit tangy but okish to taste. The quality of meat was chewy! 3. Martin's exotica sea food platter (5/5) - an exotic platter serving prawns, crab, red snapper tandoori & lobster. The crab and lobster was too sumptuous and is a must try. 4. Pork vindaloo (3.5/5) - tried for the first time. All goan dishes has a knack of being cooked tangy and hence did not lit up my taste bud. You can try once with rice. 5. Mutton biriyani (3.5-5) - it was again more of maharasthrian taste than the authentic awadhi taste. The quantity was good and so was the meat. 6. Bebinca with ice cream (4/5) - this goan dessert is served with goan styled hot pudding and ice cream. We tried numerous cocktails which was good. Another aspect of the venue is their live music which keeps you engaged and occupied. They have live bands across the week and you can enjoy your meals with songs of your choice. Note - kindly pre book if you are visiting during peak season as it's difficult to find a place post 8-8.30pm. Overall a must visit place in goa. Cost for 2 is around 1200-1500/-.

The Restaurant has nice vibes with ample seating space. To begin with, we ordered Chicken Masala Fry, French Fries and Mackerel Recheado. The Chicken Masala Fry was prepared in the usual Indian - Chinese style which was a bit disappointment. The Mackerel Recheado was okay and not worth mentioning. The french fries could have been skipped as they tasted just like the frozen ones served in most of the fast food restaurants. For the mains, we ordered Prawns Curry Rice which was delicious and highly recommended. We also ordered Spaghetti Cheese Sauce, which was quite bland and not upto the mark. Of course, all this food was accompanied by Martins Sp Mocktail, Sensation Passion and the Kokum Mojito which was excellent. The desserts they serve are a must try and for that I have given 1 extra star to this restaurant. We had New York Cheese Cake and Red Velvet Cake which were yumm. Dinner for 3 people cost us INR 3000. The food was okay, but more than the food we liked the ambience and the foot tapping music which kept us entertained throughout the dinner. The service can be improved..... pace and attentiveness to customers can be better though it is nothing major and not a spoiler as the restaurant was overcrowded. One more point worth mentioning is that, the waiters ask for tip while swiping, which I feel is unprofessional and should be left at the discretion of the diner. To conclude, we really enjoyed our dinner with Live Music and would recommend anyone visiting Utorda/Majorda/Mobor areas to head to this place "Martin's Corner". They have a massive parking lot and peppy live music on most evenings. Just remember to book a table, even though Martin's is huge, it gets packed especially on weekends.

My visit to Martin's Corner was one of the Murphy Laws coming into play. Here is my experience... 1. Upon visiting we wanted a silent place, instead, were guided to the music and vocals section of the restaurant. Attention to detail by the staff, š¤ 2. Got a place for two, in a section where was little to no ventilation and the ceiling fans were either O.O.O or switched off 3. Upon ordering French fried, we wanted to add some salt. Found that the cruet set was missing. 4. Had ordered for an long Island ice tea, LIT, since I was away from the table, the glass coaster was used as a glass lid and that was soiled. 5. Also the LIT, had a single grain of soaked fennel seed. Makes me wonder, must be a new addition to LIT. 6. The water service was missing for the entire period. The glass saw the first glimpse of water after the bill was paid. 7. Usually, rhe glasses after washing are cleaned and dried using a cloth. Unfortunately, it had left marks in the inside of our glass. Now to the food, I thought the F& B staff might be the only disappointment.. well O stand corrected. 8. In my order of Butter Garlic Calamari, I discovered two surprises particles of sand and a thin stop of plastic. 9. After the dish was over, I could see a small portion of one if the basic sauces used in continental cuisine. After the entire ordeal, the bill took 15 minutes to come this was with 40% occupancy on the tables. I understand the hype social media aids these days. But when an hotelier is an and is treated this way, makes people like us wonder. Are the standards for social media or does the place actually serve good food. It is for the masses to decide.
