Miguel's - Cocktails & Petiscos — Restaurant in Goa

Without a doubt, the best cocktail bar of Panjim. Located in a quaint part of town, even though the ambience is a bit too bright for any kind of intimate setting, the bartenders’ energy and affinity make up for any loss of vibe. While talking about bartenders, special mention must be made of Joe who is a complete pro with all his knowledge and juggling and shaking, not to forget he always carries such a winning smile. The cocktails we tried, punho luto mexicano and Espresso martini, were both good but Punho Luto was in a league of its own.

However, the quick bites left something to be desired. While the food quality and taste were commendable, there’s definitely room for improvement in the snack department.
