Located right in the heart of the city along the Mandovi river is quarterdeck. Beside this nice open air restaurant is their massive open air event venue. The food is very good, xacuti, fish, kebabs everything. Seating is very casual and comfortable and you can spend the evening looking at the ferry boat and the bright lit casinos.
The whole pomfret rechado was lip-smacking with the rechado masala thoroughly seeped in the fresh pomfret. It cost 800 bucks, expensive by Goan standards, but cheaper than a similar sized pomfret in other popular seafood joints. The piquant kingfish balchao was fabulous too. The fish was tart to the point of almost being pickled. Both the pomfret and the kingfish were from the morning’s fresh catch.
To top it off, we ate multiple helpings of the superb bebinca, which is such a wonderfully rich, complex and layered dessert.
