O Coqueiro
O'Coqueiro
A family-run open-air restaurant beside the Diu Museum, known for its Portuguese-style fish curry and jumbo prawns. It has long ranked at the top of Diu's restaurant lists.
Run by chef-owner Kailash Pandey and his wife, O Coqueiro sits in a small garden shaded by coconut and palm trees, with only about ten tables. The signature dishes are the chef's recommended Portuguese-style fish curry rice, garlic prawns, coconut prawn curry and fried squid. Pasta and vegetarian curries are also available, and cold beer pairs well with the meal. Dinner fills up quickly during peak season, and food can sometimes take a while to arrive. Expect to pay about ₹1,000 for two. It is on Firangiwada Road in the old town, near the Diu Museum, and is about 400 meters from Jallandhar Beach, an easy walk.
