Antonio in Fontainhas, Panaji is an Instagram dream, but the overall experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
The location is undeniably charming—tucked in the heart of old town Fontainhas, just a short walk from the Immaculate Conception Church—ideal for your photo ops.
We dropped by during the lazy hours (around 4:30–5 PM), so slower service was expected. Still, it felt a bit too relaxed for the price point.
What we tried:
• Salted Tongue Tacos: Good filling, but the taco shell lacked freshness.
• Crab Poppers: Pretty good—flavorful and satisfying.
• Garlic Poe: Too crunchy for our liking—bordering on hard.
Drinks:
• Wanted to try the Ola Picante, but they were out of coriander (!).
• Smoked Pineapple Margarita was tasty but weak on alcohol.
• Watermelon Fizz was okay—nothing special.
We get that Antonio is probably best experienced at a livelier hour, so we won’t comment on the vibe—but honestly, the portion sizes, quality, and service didn’t feel worth the premium pricing.
Washroom: 2/5. There was one lady constantly cleaning while others walked all over the mess. No tissues, no toilet paper, and a dingy loo.
Overall: Beautiful spot, but feels more like you’re paying for the location than the food or service.
