Feri Bar, Goa, Review :The Kind of Place You Wish More People Knew About (But Also Hope They Never Do)

By some cosmic miracle—or perhaps just sheer avoidance of the typical Saturday night madness—we found ourselves at Feri Bar in North Goa, a place that offers a much-needed reprieve from the stampede of Goa’s party-chasing, cocktail-spilling, “Wooo, Goa!” shouting weekend warriors.

It’s a rare pleasure, dining in a place that manages to be unapologetically chic yet utterly unpretentious.

Cavatina, South Goa- Restaurant Review

If it looks Goan, feels Goan and tastes Goan…it must be Goan! This is as true as it gets in the case of Cavatina in South Goa.
