This. One i went in had a kitchen in the sand covered by a tarpaulin at the back of the hut. Was a fucking superb meal though! Even had a cow wander by through the hut half way through

 

Did you get her number?

Can you eat well on Goa if you don't like spicy foods and curry.I've heard tales of 5 star hotels in India giving folk curry for breakfast!

Just ask for a meat and potato pie with nothing added.

Fine. Can get whatever you want. Best Italian ever at a restaurant called tuscany gardens. Just next to the guy who owns kingfishers villa.

 

3 courses for 2 people with drinks... Twelve quid

Bloody Hell - over 100 Rupees to the £1 now :o  :o

 

There were only about 70 when I was last there 2 years ago - it really will be as cheap as fcukery now

Their currency crashed last week.

I've also had one of the finest Chinese meals I've ever eaten in Candolim. You can get whatever you want really

Best going All Inclusive or not? Recommended Hotels?

Don't go all in.

Get out and about for better food and save money

Thought that might be the case, never done all inclusive to be honest like to see what's about.

Dont go all inc. Its too cheap to bother and the array of restaurants, shacks etc are just there to be used. If you really really want to be frugal I saw fish curry rice this year for 79 rupees. I didnt get it but its possible to eat for fuck all.

Maldives is a better place to start

If there's a game on in Margao pronounced Margow get to it, last time I went cost about 35 rupee 35k Indians and us 2 slightly tanned guys had a great time, one of the bar/shack owners took us so worth asking around. The main city Panaji ( Panjim ) & Margao are worth a visit for a few hours. If you have a special good fitting shirt take it with you, you can have one of the tailors make shirts from silks & cotton fabrics from your copy for about £6-7. If your Mrs is into gold/diamonds this is the place to buy but haggle. Bought my Mrs a ring on our first visit many years ago for just over £300 had it valued on return just under 2k, but ask tourist if they have used the seller before. Do not go A/I better choice outside in the café bars. Going back for my 15th time In Jan.

I got the Mrs platinum and diamond engagement ring for 2 grand. Had it valued for insurance purposes at 4k.

 

Do your research though, there are loads of jewellers

Indeed,

 

1ct diamond ring, a pair of diamond earrings (0.5ct each) and a 2ct tennis bracelet for well under a fifth of their UK valuation. Sold them on for huge profit.

Free money, you could say!

My favourite type.

 

Monkeys at Dudhsagar too.

Might have to take the Mrs, she works at a jewellers so should know her stuff.

 

It could pay for our holiday.
