It is essentially the food culture of the people of Goa, which is dominated by rich usage of spices, local produce, red meat and seafood. Given the tropical climate of the state, the cuisine here is rich and intensely flavourful. The origin of Goan cuisine can be traced back to various Eastern and Western influences. In fact, it is deemed to be a perfect blend of Portuguese, French, Konkani and Malabari food cultures. This makes Goan cuisine extensive and versatile.

Goa is a multi-ethnic state and has two cuisine sub-types – one is influenced by traditional Hindu cuisine and the other is influenced by Portuguese cuisine. Both the sub-types are rich in their own ways and include a wide number of dishes. This often leaves us confused as to which dish to start from and what all to try.
