IG FOOD

S l y G r a n n y h a s s u r e l y established a name for itself and set the culinary standards high in Goa. With 3 amazing sub-brands, Tereza by the Beach, Mamagoto and the

more recent Outpost, you can always be assured of great food and great hospitality, whichever restaurant you may visit. I have been to all 3 and my personal favourite is The Outpost. Oozing out a vintage charm, it transports you to the 1950s and you feel as if you are sitting in a beautiful café in some English country. It is

indeed one of the finest places I have come across r e c e n t l y a n d i t s h o u l d definitely be on your list. I personally love the posters that adorn their walls and can easily spend some time just staring at them. Located close to Mandovi Creek, I love the fact that the place doubles up as both a café and a bar as they serve some amazing brews and you can relish them till the time you aren’t ready to hit the bar or are a non-drinker like me. I enjoyed my Iced Mocha with the Burrata which was the first dish on our table. Seasoned with toasted coriander seeds and caramelised oranges, the Burrata was a great way to start our culinary experience. U p n e x t w a s t h e C r i s p y Chicken, since I had tried this one at Tereza by the Beach and loved it, I just had to order again. Yes, they do have a few things in common on their menu, but the charm of this place is unmatched for me. Served with a hot fermented sauce and pickles, this chicken is something you should not miss. For the mains, while I settled for the Katsu Chicken Burger, my mom picked the Pandi Fry Tacos. I have to say that both the dishes were fabulous. With crispy fried katsu chicken and the perfect sauces to go along, it was indeed one of the best burgers I had eaten in a long time and it' s surely something that will take me back there soon. My mom had the same feeling about the Pandi Fry Tacos and I am sure they must be as good as the burger. There can’t be anything better to end your meal than the Basque Cheesecake or the Dark Chocolate Cake, both these desserts were heavenly and even if your stomach is full, you cannot get enough of them. The basque cheesecake in particular is something that you should not miss. Overall, The Outpost is the kind of place that ticks all boxes. It’s a place where you can chill out with friends & family, it's also a place that can serve as a perfect date scene and it's also a place where one can just grab a cup of coffee or a beer and read a book from their small but beautifully curated library. The food is excellent and the warm service is like the cherry on the cake. I am sure you would love experiencing The Outpost as much as I did.
