Florentine, Goa

I love stepping into a restaurant filled with locals when I travel. Florentine is a Goan restaurant that's tucked away (the good local ones are always tucked away) which we found out from a restaurant owner in Bangalore who visits Goa every other month. Here's what we ate.


Oyster rawa fry. Crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside.


"A"'s favorite food in the world; Goan style fish fingers.


Prawns Balchao - prawns cooked in Goan masala, is so good with just plain boiled rice or poi (Goan bread).


Chicken Cafreal - this dish made Florentine restaurant popular amongst the local, and I can see why! The chicken is marinated with green masala and grilled. Yum!


And for dessert, caramel custard or creme caramel or flan. I found out this dish originated from France and was spread all over Europe and now all over the world, and to this little humble restaurant, in Goa.
