What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cafe Al Fresco is celebrated for its beautiful ambiance set within an art gallery, offering a charming and calming atmosphere. Diners rave about the delicious and unique monthly menu items, particularly the chicken burger and red velvet cake. However, some guests have noted issues with service efficiency and the ordering system, with occasional long waits for food and drinks.
"Visited this place in the month of November this year. The ambience here is quite and absolutely fantastic. Seatings are limited so you could be on waiting on weekends. Here you need to place order through WhatsApp or directly on counter. If you have multiple orders to place then be ready to get up multiple times to go to counter, coz here waiter won't be helping you for suggestions or to discuss add ons.
Some of the dishes we tried were:
Turkish poached eggs, Vietnamese cold coffee, Omlette, Chicken burger, Latte, Lemon ice tea and Red velvet cupcake.
Above all the Chicken burger and Red velvet cake were tastiest. Other items were like ok-ok kind of.
Imp note - This restaurant changes their menu on a monthly basis. Mainly on Sunday it is closed."

"Such a pleasure visiting Cafe al Fresco in Panjim! We were traveling back from Basilicaof Bom Jesus and happened upon this place. It's set in a beautiful property with greenery and classic European architectural themes. The cafe was pretty quiet when we got there and our food was served with near promptness. We ordered the yogurt with fruit, falafel, mixed salad and a slice of lemon cheesecake, which was to die for. For drinks we got a fresh lime soda and mixed fruit juice. The food and drinks were all freshly prepared and tasty and the ambience of the interior was so calming and peaceful. Plus it's a great spot for taking pictures! Would definitely recommend folks visiting/in the Panjim area to go check it out sometime!"

"The Cafe is a perfect place to meet friends and have a good cup of coffee along with the tasty fare offered.
I tried the avocado Hummus sandwich and also the date and coconut vegan cake. Absolutely delicious. My daughter had eggs in purgatory.
Perfect place to unwind during a visit to Panjim :)"
