Martin's Corner
A legendary seafood restaurant in Betalbatim, South Goa, which grew from a four-table eatery in 1989 into one of Goa's most popular dining destinations.
Founded by Martin in 1989 with just four tables, this eatery has grown under the stewardship of his wife, Carafina Pereira, into a massive 300-seat restaurant. It is bustling during both lunch and dinner, with live music on evenings and Sunday afternoons. The menu focuses on Goan seafood, with Crab Xec Xec, Butter Garlic Crab, Fish Caldin, and Chicken Cafreal being popular choices. Live crabs are often brought to the table for guests to choose from before cooking. It is frequently packed during peak season and weekends, so phone reservations are highly recommended. A meal for two is about 1,600 INR, though prices may have risen. Located in the South Goa countryside, it requires a taxi or hired car to reach.
