Vintage Restaurant (Pernem) — Restaurant in Goa

Vintage Restaurant is a nostalgic experience rooted in authentic Goan and Malvani tradition. The ambience alone earns top marks. Everywhere you look, beautifully restored antiques, from vintage scooters to classic crockery, pair perfectly with charming, authentic artwork by the world famous Goan cartoonist Mario de Miranda. This detailed immersive decor makes the dining space feel warm, personal and profoundly unique. The cuisine truly delivers at this place. The Jevonacho Patlo Thali is a non-negotiable must try which is an essential Goan culinary experience. Served dramatically in a traditional coconut palm basket (patlo) with individual clay pots, the assortment of curries, fresh fish fry and vegetable preparations showcase incredible balance. They hit all the right notes of spice, tang and freshness. Specifically, the fresh fish was perfectly moist, and the accompanying Dry Prawn Kismur added a fantastic savoury textural contrast to the rice and curries. We also indulged in the assorted Chicken Kebab Platter. It delivered perfectly charred, tender cuts with a diverse range of marinades. The smoky depth in the tandoori elements and the hot punch of the marinated pieces were truly remarkable and satisfying. Even the small details impress. Our fresh lime soda was served in unique, antique style glassware, elevating a simple drink to a thoughtful and vintage experience. Service was good too. The staff happily explained the cultural significance of the Patlo Thali and its traditional elements, showing real passion for their heritage. Vintage provides both a culinary feast and a visual delight. It’s an essential stop while you’re headed towards the Mopa airport or anyone...

Travelled from calangute to pernem for their special traditional goan ‘jevnacho patlo’ on a sunday afternoon. Its a fish thali served in a huge basket with everything a thali must have. There were 2 chonak fry ( u can choose the fish) small prawns curry , solkadi , rice, 2 desserts , tisrya , 1 beans sabji, calamari , small rawa fish, rice ,achar, papad, salad and dry fish (kismoor) enough for 2 people . Also ordered their prawns rachaedo and chonak fry extra which was served smoking hot fresh , super flavourfu and the side salad served was also made with detailed dressing and presentation. Next day visited again to try surmai thali and also their veg thali is mouthwatering . Coconut icecream is a must try here in desserts, the presentation is not only instagrammable but also each bite is drool worthy of this inhouse freshly churned icecream. The fish thali doesnt include roti here however u can order separately and tandoori roti is also made of wheat with perfection. ( they dont have option of chapati or bhakri) The ambience was so lively on sunday there was a goan music band and singers that sung songs for us specially coming near the table. It just made our visit soo memorable. The food and experience is worth every penny. Service was a little slow on sunday because of rush however the entire meal made and served with so much of love , quality, quantity and flavours compensated for it. Also the food is not too expensive unlike other hyped places. Must recommended place for authentic goan cuisine specially for sea food lovers. I would have rated this place with 10 stars. Will visit this place whenever i am back to goa.the staff is very polite ,courteous ...

A Culinary Gem in Goa: An Unforgettable Goan Feast

Having visited Goa regularly over the past 25 years, I thought I had experienced the full spectrum of Goan cuisine—until now. Tucked away in the heart of North Goa, this restaurant completely redefined authenticity and flavor for me. Without hesitation, I can say this was the finest Goan meal I’ve ever had.

We began with the Jackfruit Tacos, a delightful surprise that blended traditional ingredients with a modern twist. The Prawns Masala Fry followed, perfectly spiced and seared to golden perfection. The Stuffed Calamari was rich and tender, packed with layers of coastal flavor. The Chicken Cafreal was everything it should be—aromatic, zesty, and deeply satisfying.

The crown jewel of the meal was the Jevnacho Pantlo, an extra-large Fish Thali designed for sharing (though you’ll be tempted to keep it all to yourself). It arrived like a celebration on a platter—an artful array of curries, rice, fried fish, and accompaniments that captured the essence of a Goan home-cooked feast.

The experience wasn’t just about the food. The vintage-inspired décor added a nostalgic charm, transporting us to an era where time moved a little slower and meals were savored. It’s clear this place isn’t just serving food—it’s telling a story.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned Goa traveler, this is a must-try destination. For those in Panjim, you’re in luck—they’ve got a location there too. Wherever you dine, expect nothing less than...
