Goa dining like nowhere elseA terraced hillside orchard reveals a quiet escape beneath the cashew tree. Amidst wilderness, romance; a candlelit moment. An encounter you'll have nowhere else. On our menu, global meets local as we bring the wonders of the Mediterranean to life with the freshest organic produce from our garden, and our neighbours'. An experience that unlocks the mystery of Goa.
Our Story
Meghana met Matt, and the rest was history. During a quiet holiday in 2015, serendipity struck and couldn't be turned down. They made this beautiful hillside refuge their home, and invite you to enjoy it with them.
Taste the Mediterranean
Stretching from Spanish tapas to Lebanese meze and back around to the Mahgreb, the azure arc of the Mediterranean encompasses a wide variety of food cultures. Small plates, pizzas, pastas and seafood specialties define this region of subtle flavours and distinctive techniques. Sorry, we don’t do tandoori.
