A Reverie is a beloved venture of two great food aficionados Aakritee and Virendra, who with their refreshing vision has put this restaurant on the local map. They do only dinner service so if you want lunch, head somewhere else. Their menu is entirely Continental with some Goan inspired dishes as well, which is worth looking into.

Their menu revolves around the fresh ingredients so it keeps in changing. A delightful concept for the regulars. Start with, crab meat tacos, the birds & the bees, fishing for compliments, choriz pao bao and lord of the rings. In mains go for, the Thai thali, the fish that swam in butter, the little BBQ and lobster tails.
The menu is a fun read, take your time. Dessert course is just as innovative. Indulge in, the coddled, coffeeholics anonymous, a lime & berry fashion show, go bananas and OCDobsessive chocolate disorder. Food is served in a playful contemporary manner so that not only it’s pleasing to the palate but also it’s pleasing to the eye. Encased in a typical Goan house with steeped ceiling and wooden rafters, A Reverie beckons you with its serene homely ambience. The traditional Goan vibe is essential part of the décor, which is kept simple and natural. If vacant, sit in their outdoor area shaded by huts and fragrant frangipani trees. An Expensive place to dine but so worth it.
