Goan Fish Curry Rice - I (CORINA)

Goan Fish/Meat Curry Rice: - CORINA -

JoeGoaUk has decided to come up with his new feature: Mouth-watering Goan best Fish/Meat Curry Rice Restaurants. He and his small team (of 2 or 3) will visit any where in Goa to try and taste what Goan authentic food on offer there.. Please suggest if you have any restaurant or eating house in your mind so that we can go there and see ourselves.
It may not be posh or star restaurant. It can be even a house and it can be even a year old.
It may serve only fish or meat or both. What is mainly interested is the typical Goan

food, freshness (like fresh fish), natural surroundings, service, taste and the price.
Average price per item/portion should be less than Rs.100. Only those restaurants which meet the above basic requirements will be featured here. All visit to restaurant will be unannounced. Any suggestions welcome.

OK, to start with, here is about 45 years old Restaurant named 'CORINA' I first heard about it about 15 years ago.

Located near old PWD or at the foot of new Patto Bridge or opp. General Post Office (GPO), Panjim.
Good enviroment, good service (even protuguese language spoken by counter person), good taste and affordable prices.


I was alone today and the visit to CORINA was purely accidental, as I arrived at one office just after Ipm when it was closed for lunch and open after 2pm, so I visited this neaby bar & restaurant.

What I ate and what it cost me ?
1 plate Sausages (10 in a plate)
1.5 peg Old Monk Rum with Coke (this not my usual drinks)
1 Rechardo bangllo (which remided me of my Mom)
1 Plate fish crochets (very tiny but tasty)
1 Prawn curry rice (with 3 large prawns in thick curry)
1 Large Visnna Post (King fish)
All this fro Rs.290 (inclusive of taxes/Charges)

I also wanted to try Beef Steak, Pork Chops, Asad, Vindaloo etc but there was no room in my stomach..

At the counter, there is a small stand/shelves displaying packed sausages, Bombil Para and other pickels for sale. See PIC 2 & 3

The restaurant also reminded me of another restaurant viz AVANTI don't know if it is still exists (it was on the main raod Rue de Ourem, near hotel Sona, Confident-Herald)

If you do visit this restaurant 'CORINA', pl say you heard about it on the net. Do also write back to me if found good or bad.

Finally, JoeGoaUk, being very old and hence old fashioned and taste, what is his favourite may not be yours but if you do visit his featured restaurants, at least you will be one step ahead in knowing JoeGoaUk.
