the kitchen at Monica’s Bar & Restaurant, almost singlehandedly every
night, is the lovely owner Menetta. As you sit on her simple, yet quaint roof
terrace restaurant, your taste buds can’t help salivate, smelling the aroma of
delicious food. How can I explain it? Well… to me it is like walking into my
mother’s or mother-in-law’s house for Sunday dinner. That first whiff of a
roast. The alluring smell of roast potatoes and Yorkshire’s. But most of all,
that heart-warming feeling, knowing it has been prepared and cooked with love.
I will let
you into a secret. When you eat at Monica’s that is precisely what you get.
Delicious, home cooked food, made with love. Yes it may take a little while
longer to be served, nevertheless it is well worth those five extra minutes,
when everything is homemade. From her
fish batter, mushy peas, chips to steaks, curries and fish dishes. There has
been nothing that I have eaten at Monica’s that has not been far short of
exceptional.
What I
also love about this place, is that the menu is not extensive. Menetta has been
smart, offering enough choice for every pallet, but enough to be able to cook
all the items to her renowned, high standard.
I will not
lie, this is a not a whistle and bells restaurant. No witty waiters, or live entertainment.
But what I will say is… Monica’s Bar and Restaurant is a must if you are
looking for first-class European food and the real deal, Goan cuisine.
