What used to once be a small, favourite local eatery is now an upmarket diner, but thankfully it hasn’t lost its charm. We’re talking about Peep Kitchen in Taleigao, Panjim. It may not be on the tourist map yet, but a visit here will have you falling in love with the food and the cocktails.

What Makes It Awesome
As one of the few places in Goa that makes innovative cocktails, we've always had more than one reasons to keep going back. It's spacious, modern and has the friendliest staff. Add too this, all the seafood and other traditional Goan fare that they do really well, and you know you have a winner. And if you don’t like the Goan summer (who does?), then you will be happy to know that this one is fully air-conditioned.
Happily settled and ravenously hungry, we promptly asked for a Feni Sling (the bartender's twist on Feni) & Peep Fizz cocktails, that were refreshing and a great to start our Sunday lunch. And because we are greedy, we called for the Butter Garlic Crab (INR 800). Next came the Rawa Fry Prawns, followed by the Kaap (Goan-style fritters made out of potatoes, brinjals, etc). You certainly don’t find the latter easily these days, so we reveled in a nostalgic treat. If you are going for lunch, then their Fish Thali that is definitely recommended. Finish off the meal with their tasty Serradura (traditional Portuguese dessert), or the Panacotta.
Pro-Tip
If you are a mixed bunch wanting to eat different things, then Peep Kitchen can cater to all needs (they also have a North Indian and oriental menu). And if you are living or have booked to stay in and around Panjim, they also deliver around Dona Paula, Caranzalem, Panjim and Taleigao.
