Today, Maria, Roma, Velanie and I are visiting a restaurant that celebrates the Goan village way of life and is a favourite watering hole on the Salcette side of Verna in South Goa.

Alvares Restaurant and Bar is set in fields, off the NH66 Bypass, in Bamborda, Verna
From main NH66, take the turning towards Fr Agnel Ashram Circle, or Verna Circle, then turn left onto the bypass. Continue straight for 1.5 kilometres till you emerge between the green fields. Here you will see the sign for Alvares restaurant on the right. If coming from the Verna Industrial Estate side of the bypass, you will easily spot Alvares Restaurant on the left, amid the fields opposite Verna Panchayat. Take this turning at the signboard, which leads to the restaurant’s ample parking area.

Alvares Bar in its outdoor setting has such a lovely feeling of greenery from the moment you enter. The place is nice with lovely field views.
Now, what shall we eat and drink? Roma and Velanie decide on beef pepper garlic fry, pork amsol, chicken cafreal and sausage pulao, and we are very happy with their choices
Maria and I killed the time before lunch arrives by admiring the handsome ducks outside. These ducks have the correct idea of how to spend this baking hot afternoon. It’s quite hypnotic to watch their beautiful colours and playfulness in the water. Children will love to watch these ducks
Time to eat now. First up is pork amsol and beef garlic pepper fry. Then comes an orange hillock of Goa sausage pulao and green chicken cafreal. Now that’s a very appetisingly colourful lunch spread!
So what do Roma and Velanie think of the beef garlic pepper fry? Very good. And the sausage pulao? They gave it ‘yummy’ and ‘very good’ ratings. What about the pork amsol? They gave it just ‘okay’. Lastly, the chicken cafreal. They both are very happy with the cafreal
And now it’s the turn of Lesley and Maria! Our thumbs up to the sausage pulao!. We found the cafreal also very tasty. The beef was more than okay, not bad at all. We liked the pork amsol, which Roma and Velanie found just okay, a lot! We two greedy gluts are quite easy to please! Maria and I both really enjoyed the combination of the green cafreal and the orange sausage pulao. The quantity of sausage pulao was very good. We all four ate comfortably.
That was a really lovely meal and fun afternoon also. And we are off into the hot afternoon sun, looking forward to a lovely siesta
Two tips for visiting Alvares: One is to choose a table which has a nice fan above if you’re going at lunch time. And two, some dishes they bring very fast and some they take little more time, so remember to ask when ordering so that you know. All in all we’re planning to go back to Alvares with our friends at night time because it’s such a lovely village ambience. We really found the view of the fields so soothing while we were eating.
