Restaurant No. III (Ritz Classic)

Goan Fish Curry Rice: Resataurant no. III (Ritz Classic)

Ritz Classic, Panjim Goa

Finally, we made it today. This was kept pending for want of some pics.
This is the one which is still No. 1 of mine. Good, decent, Air-conditioned, famous for fresh sea food. These people have another local restaurant by the Municipal Gardens , Panaji named ‘Ritz’. It is there for many years. Same food is comparatively cheaper but always crowded as the sitting area is smaller and the restaurant is like any other small-small restaurants in nature. ‘RITZ Classic’ is about 3/4 years old which is about 5-6 minutes walking distance from each other.

If you like have a look at the type of fish they have on offer, just tell your waiter and he will come back with a tray/basket full of selection of fresh sea food- Fish (see pic). click on the pic to get a bigger view.

One thing we always go in for is the ‘Fish Platter’ which is a selection of all most all type of available fish with them (Squids, Shark, Lady Fish, King Fish, Mussels, Bombay duck, Prawns, modso, crab etc) see pic (Rs.200) it comes with some french fries too. Never order this item if you are just two people (unless you want to take home the left-over portion of the fish platter, which they are happy to pack and give it to you, we do it most of the time). This portion is ideal for 4 people with other dishes.

Other speciality is Goan Fish Curry rice with thick prawns curry, another large fish portion (usually King fish) with the usual other stuff in small-small containers (see pic). Rs.53. Week days lunch time is very busy 1.15 to 2.15pm as many office goers come here for the lunch (fish curry rice).

Pork/Beef in not served here (most Hindu or non-Goan restaurants do not serve these items).

All food items/portions seems very competitive around Rs.80.
Alcoholic drinks seems bit expensive and this is partly because 20% tax and food items 12.5%. I think a bear bottle (750ml) will cost Rs.90 with tax (most other small-small restaurant offer this for around Rs.55 or as cheap as Rs.45).
