Intimate setting off the beaten track in Pilerne (Sangolda) this place is for those who would like to have a taste of authentic Goan cuisine. During my visit we were personally looked after by Chef Peter so we were treated to some of his personal recommendations.

Chef Peter's version of Stuffed Crabs is closer to the vinegar infused (Bombay East Indian) "balchaon" than the popular stuffed cheese version. This is a taste which may not sit well with those not used to it. But for those who know the taste - well they know it and will love it.

The Pork Ard Mas is another dish we tried and enjoyed. Served with hot breads the dish was prepared with a reshad (recheado) masala variation. This bone meat dish is a delicacy for those who relish this less popular meat preparation.

Portions were generous and the service was friendly as Chef Peter was joined by his family for service help. For us this was more like a Chef's Table experience than a restaurant meal. For those interested the seafood options are stellar and will not let you down. We also did plates of Bhangda Fry, Xinaneao (Mussell) Rava Fry and a portion of Samarein Chi Kodi (dry fish curry) & rice which was polished off by the rest of our party with ease.

This is a place for those with a sure footed palate and looking for authentic local dining options away from the North Goa drag. If you have the time and the inclination, Chef Peter's Kitchen has the ability to charm you with a lovely meal.
