Foxy's reputation was built on decent steak (gippy tummys not an issue, as far as I am aware). However it has started to lose the edge and I notice hardly anyone goes in there now by comparison to last year. It was popular because it is very close to the Highland and so had a large "walk by" customer base.

Hi
JEB you are so right about Foxy's, and a credit to Rising Waves.
How does Fishermans Cove do so well? It's smelly, pricy a rush to get you in and out and the food or service is not that good.

Horse Doctor - you are so right about Fishermans Cove. Just walked past there on way back to Highland and the smell was pretty bad. Never eaten in there because of that. Having said that just eaten at Annapurna, an old favourite and that is cr*p this year. Must find somewhere new!!!!!! Could easily eat in Rising Waves every night (can afford to) but afraid that "familiarity would breed contempt". Wish I had stayed in and cooked eggs and chips!

Rising Wave is just past Candolim football ground on the right, coming from Calengute. It is laid back behind some shop fronts. A couple of shops from Snow White Laundry also on the right. Do not be put off as you walk in the door it is a shop front set out as a bar area, walk through to the back. Enjoy, you may have to reserve a table

I thought it was just me.

Everyone raves about Rising Waves and I'm sure it's fine but we went once about 2 years ago and weren't impressed enough to go back. The meal was OK, nothing wrong with it, just not that memorable either.

A friend of ours went to Foxy's day restaurant, we refused to go,she had a steak baguette it was the best steak plus price she has ever had.
This may also be the same for Rising Waves

Does anyone know if Snows Inn is now opened for Indian and Continental food in the evening. Thanks.

Tried "Maggies" the other night - we ordered deep fried calamari as a starter (3 portions for 6 people) - they brought us deep fried prawns by mistake, then threw in a portion of calamari "on the house". Not many places would do that - quite impressed.

All in all food excellent, and Madera was R/s 399 a bottle

Still like "Top Nosh" for the selection, value AND good consistent quality of food, plus friendly service. Clean toilet - also a big PLUS

Someone told me the other day that Snow Inn being open is hit and miss, sometimes they are, sometimes not. Something to do with losing the chef but it was only hearsay.

Beautiful steak in Rising Waves last night. Apple pie, worth killing for. Service, excellent.

Well worth a visit.

Davie.

The Sai Bar and Rest in Arpora is excellant.
Great food and drink at local prices about half the price of other Arpora restaurants which are already about a third cheaper than most restaurants on the Baga Beach Belt.
I can't get over how inflated the restaurant prices are along the Baga beach belt compared to inland restaurant prices.

Is that before of after the one which we all met up in?

Prices are getting silly this year. Kingfisher 44 rups on bottle, selling anything between 70 - 100 on the beach, There is a profit in the 44 rups as they get it wholesale. I am amazed at even tweekers eating in at nights now.
