About this experience

With our carefully curated Secret Food & Tavern Trail, we try to unearth something that people have long missed about Goa - its culinary delights and local favorites.

Make sure you get your taste buds ready, and we serve some delicious items - and for both Vegetarians and Non - Vegetarians! We snack on a variety of sweet, savory and special items that are known only to the locals. You will be taken to the spots where these delicacies are best prepared in the scenic Latin Quarters of Goa. Not only will they keep you satisfied, and at the same time you will crave for more. The names of the places as well as the dishes are to be disclosed only once you join us. Also included in the trail are some untold stories about the city, and some fun facts and trivia about the food, drinks and the places!
