Mumbai’s O Pedro Ranks Among The 50 Best Restaurants In India

O Pedro, an all-day, Goa-inspired bar and restaurant brings the joy of Goa’s beaches to Mumbai. It’s a good blend of Goa’s warm, lazy afternoons and happening nightlife. Part of the Hunger Inc. family, the team behind The Bombay Canteen, O Pedro reimagines Goan cuisine

The space draws inspiration from old Portuguese architecture. Apart from its delicious drinks and meals the place serves the best Pastel De Nata, Portugal’s famed egg custard tarts in the city. At the recently held Condé Nast Traveller x Zomato Top Restaurant Awards, the restaurant secured a spot at number 19 among some of the most popular eateries in the country.

The bar at O Pedro mirrors the Goan spirit of joy and indulgence. Their drinks incorporate unique local ingredients like kokum, toddy vinegar, and feni, resulting in refreshing concoctions that stand apart. The Pedro G&T, a vibrant gin and tonic infused with Goan flavours, is a signature favourite.

What Makes O Pedro Special

What sets O Pedro apart is its ability to balance authenticity with innovation. While it remains deeply rooted in Goan culinary traditions, the restaurant isn’t afraid to experiment, resulting in dishes that feel both familiar and new. The attention to detail—from the presentation of the food to the carefully curated playlist—ensures an experience that lingers long after the meal is over. Whether you’re seeking a nostalgic connection to Goa or simply looking to enjoy exceptional food in a stunning setting, this is a great option.

What To Drink And Eat At O Pedro

The restaurant’s team’s love for bars in Panjim, Margao and Benaulim resulted in a bar menu that experiments with homebrews and infused spirits and embraces fresh ingredients and local flavours. Pick from the Choriz & Chill, a highball cocktail with smoky choriz-infused vodka whipped up with house-made bell pepper soda and cucumber brin or the Kokum Picante which is a twist on the classic using Goa’s local souring agent, kokum and habanero. he Baga Brew offers a rum old-fashioned with a twist. Made with in-house made coffee-jaggery syrup, walnut bitters, and clarified coconut milk, topped with a candied walnut, you’ll want a glass more and another after that. 

The food menu is inspired by Goa’s many vibrant cuisines. O Pedro’s Catholic cooking is different from its Saraswat food, and its Portuguese influences are centuries old. Try the creamy Cheese Mousse, topped with kokum and tomato jam, pickled chillies, and served with crispy crackers, or the vibrant Mushroom Ceviche with pickled oyster mushrooms, lima bean mousse, and crispy tempura, which are perfect for sharing. 

Favourites include the Panji Green Watana Rassa with ‘Bhatura’ – a fennel-mustard curry served with fried savoury banana bread, or the tangy and refreshing Ananas Kaju Curry, a pineapple-coconut curry, topped with curry leaf oil and paired with stuffed chillies. Don’t miss the fresh Goan Sourdough Poee with butter infused with traditional Goan flavours, like the Balchao, Herb & Confit Garlic Butter, or Choriz Butter.
