Did you know that the first Chicken Cafreal in Goa was served at Coqueiro? There is history in this simple bar and snack eating joint started way back in 1968, which today is a bustling restaurant right in the heart of Porvorim.

In the 1970’s Chef Gines Viegas returned from East Africa…and created it into a haven of excellent local food. The name ‘Coqueiro’ itself lends credence to most of the masalas that go into the preparation...it means coconut tree. And later it had the dubious distinction of having the notorious Charles Sobraj captured here.
Today its reputation is known for serving authentic Goan Portuguese food.
Delicious stuffed crabs, prawn stuffed papad and stuffed mushroom with cheese excellent starters. The crumb fried Bombay Duck, the Tisreo Sukhe,(one will not find these preparations in other restaurants) the Chicken Cafreal and to top it all the Prawn curry with rice. Finger- licking good….
Its recipes that have made Goa proud all through the years….you might walk out humming the Portuguese song Mama yo Queiro…with a spring in your step after a meal here..
