Barbeque, Cidade de Goa

As the pitter-patter of the monsoon skies fade away, fires alight as the aura of tantalizing grills tease the senses, luring taste buds and hungry tummies towards the sizzle of the grill. With smoldering coals and a pristine beachfront ambience, Barbeque, Cidade de Goa’s beachfront grill, re-opens to give its diners an authentic feel of an outdoor barbeque experience.

Overlooking the Vainguinim Beach in Dona Paula, the atmosphere borrows its beauty from the heavenly canvas of swaying palms, whispering winds and the calming view of waves that gently caress the shore. Open every evening from 7.30-11 pm, Barbeque hosts a menu of decadent gourmet delights that are a variety of signature platters, combo platters, catch of the day specials and innovative fusion delicacies. As the evening weather turns a bit cool heading toward the winter months, the warmth from the coals and the whiff of the grilling delights lend the atmosphere a feeling of surreal bliss.

Particular favourites include the Pepper Crusted Tenderloin Steak with Shiitake Mushroom Sauce sizzler for the meat eaters, the Cajun Spiced Tiger Prawn sizzler for seafood lovers or the Cheesy Mushroom Kebab for vegetarians, to name a few.

Rugged teak wood chairs and tables, wooden menu boards and granite finishes on the counter tops emblazon a rustic-chic ambience that compliment the thrill of the sizzling delights. To add to the hype, the food is served in traditional heavy-duty metal sigadis and sizzler plates to mirror the robust flavours of the dishes.

The experience is not only alfresco but interactive too. Attempt to choose from a wide range of fresh seafood, meats and vegetables, select the marinade or preparation that fancies your taste buds and gaze in awe as Cidade’s chefs cook it to succulent perfection on the open grills or in the tandoor.

So, why wait to put the sizzle back in your life? Simply book your table right away.
