Lila Cafe

Review

Set in a serene spot by the Baga Creek with a cane mat roof, this German-run airy alfresco cafe is an institution by now, serving some of the finest European snacks and meals, especially for breakfast. If you're looking for a snack, try the Water Buffalo Ham in a roll and experience bliss with the wafer-thin slice of specially cured meat in a burger-style bread with lettuce and butter. Make a great breakfast of your Roesti, Swiss-style fried potatoes. If you're there around lunch, we recommend the Fried Leg of Chicken or Beef Steak with Mashed Potatoes, which are among the best you'll get in Goa. Also recommended are Fresh Smoked Kingfish with salad, Goulesh Spatzle and Beef Roast with Red Wine Sauce. As thirst quenchers, there are all kinds of juices, milk shakes, teas and coffees. For a true taste of Europe in Goa without spending much money, this is the place to be.
