Fountainhas food & drink tour - This was my second tour with Pawan. I toured the the Old Latin, Fountainhas aea of Panaji in GOA. A local food tour. It was off season so it ended up being just Pawan and I cruising around eating and drinking our way around through the areas colorful establishments. Great afternoon of food, drink, and conversation. Enjoyed.

Tales, Tastes, and Tea: A Gourmet Stroll Through Panjim’s Old Latin Quarter - Solo strolls in the rain don’t get better than this. Huge thanks to Vimala, my wonderful guide on the Heritage Latin Quarter Food Trail at Panjim Fountainhas — her storytelling made every stop come alive with history, flavour, and warmth.
From a soothing potato and spinach soup at Panjim Inn to authentic Portuguese Escabeche de Peixe at Horseshoe, hearty chicken cafreal at Viva Panjim, and a fragrant tea cookie at Tea Trunk - A walk that nourished both the soul and stomach. If you're in Goa, don’t miss this!

Tastes of Goa - The tour was great. I had just taken the Goa Heritage Walk one or two days prior, so I was fresh off of learning some important history about Goa. The Latin Quarter tour dived further into that history by way of my stomach as well my eyes. I learned more about the history and its influence on Goan cuisine. Vimala did a great job of educating us and helping us experience various tastes and infusing that with sites of Goa.

Latin Quarter Food Trail - The walk and visiting the restaurants was truly an interesting experience. The history of Goa through food in a nutshell, each place we visited and each dish was an opportunity to hear fascinating stories and engage in conversations on a range of topics, not just related to food. Vimala, our guide, was wonderful. Thank you!

Latin Quarter Food Trail - The Latin Quarter Food trail was very well curated to stop at deaignated places to absorb the history of Goa. The meal ended at a 100yr old bungalow which for me was the highlight of the tour. Vimala was well informed and kept good pace. The heat did
