When was the last time you embarked on a culinary adventure that left your taste buds tingling and your heart content, all within the cozy confines of a living room? If it's been a while, it's high time you discovered Barfly, the latest gem to grace the bustling landscape of Assagao in North Goa.
Barfly is the brainchild of a fantastic team–the design wizard Karrtik Dhingra, fitness guru Shyaam Khurana, restaurant connoisseur Bipin Sibal, and the culinary maestros Tarun Sibal and Viraf Patel. Together, they've worked their magic and transformed a 150-year-old bungalow into the ultimate bar and restaurant, where every nook and cranny has a story to tell.
The venue boasts various thoughtfully planned spaces, including an alfresco bar. The main bungalow is smoke-free, with background tunes that set the stage for great conversations and child-friendly vibes. It features an alfresco living room, perfect for Sunday grazing with your family, a candlelit room for romantic date nights, a wine and cigar room for a laid-back hangout with friends, and a soundproof party zone for late-night celebrations. The ambience is enchanting, and the live music adds the perfect touch. The service is exceptional, ensuring a red-carpet welcome from the moment you arrive.
Now, let's talk about the stars of the show–the drinks! Brace yourself because Barfly isn't holding back. They have not one but two specialty bars, each offering a drink to suit every fancy. The 'Tales from the Villa: Elevated Classics' cocktail menu pays homage to the bungalow's history with handcrafted creations that will elevate your dining experience. Feeling adventurous? Head over to the Agave Bar for unique concoctions like El Gusano and the delightful Arabica.
But wait, we can't forget about the food! The menu is a culinary masterpiece, featuring starters like Avocado Barfly Sourdough Tartine, Hummus with a French onion glaze, Panko-crusted Arancino with kale pesto, sweet potato churros with sea salt, 48-hour Chaunac with tahina miso, and preserved lemon chicken with peri peri chimichurri. For the main course, get ready to dive into Baked Camembert Open Lasagne with bolognaise and cranberry chutney or the flavour-packed Chorizo Chili Rice with potatoes and napa cabbage. And, of course, save room for dessert! Options like Bananamisu, Coconut Milk Pannacotta, and Basque Cheesecake will satisfy your sweet cravings.
