Sublime Goa - Assagao

Sublime lives up to its billings. Culinary skills assume an art form in this quaint restaurant. Dishes are presented in a manner apt for royal lineage. It is just wow in every sense of the word.

A-mazing, was blown away with the simple yet so many complex textures in the food prepped here. The watermelon and feta salad was not something you talk about but the nicely balanced simple dish definitely was my highlight among others. the ambience is great and nestled in a old porto goan house they make the experience very serene.. must visit if you are in goa!

We went there for desserts. The interiors are cool. Ordered three desserts and all were excellent. The warm cookie dessert was my favourite. It wasn't as modern as others, but it was very comforting and tasty. Highly recommend the place.

Great location and food!<br/ <br/ We have been to Goa many many times but never tried Sublime. We came here for a 'survival brunch ' party after a wedding couple years ago. We had a lovely time on the beach which is 2 min from the restaurant (beachfront) and then we sat down to have some lunch. <br/ <br/ We tried many dishes from raw tuna, beef carpacio, kingfish carpacio, salads, steak, and their grand dessert ensemble which was delicious! Would definitely return back to this place. Kudos!

I visited Goa for the first time a few years back and went to Sublime based on a recommendation from a friend. Now every time I visit Goa, I make it a point to have a meal there during my stay.<br/  <br/ Sublime is the perfect example of fusion cuisine that has been done well. The myriads of flavor pallets, textures, and spices, are perfectly blended without overpowering each other to create a new cuisine of its own. It's a well designed mix of formal gourmet styles with hints of inspiration from across Asia and Goa.<br/ <br/ The focus is on the fresh and organic ingredients which create a lasting impression. The first time I visited the restaurant it was located on the beach which created a relaxing ambience that made you feel like you were truly on vacation. It has now shifted to Assagao where they have recreated the same ambience but with a different aesthetic. The vibe is still very romantic with dim lighting, candles, beautiful furniture, it creates more of a polished look than a laid back one as you are eating surrounded by the vivid architecture of the classic Portugese style villa.<br/ <br/ Both times I have gone there for dinner but I know that their menu varies through the seasons and also through the different times of day offering lighter courses during lunch hours and more heavier and decadent ones during the evenings. <br/ <br/ This particular evening we decided to order the following dishes:<br/ <br/ 1. Asian Style Chicken Salad Cups; with mint, tamarind, and fried garlic: Rating: 3.5/5<br/ <br/ The salad cups looked great presentation wise. The lettuce was crisp and juicy which gave you a nice crunch every time you bit into it. The chicken was also cooked well, not too dry. The only thing that stood out to me was that the marinade was a bit too tangy. It could possibly have had too much tamarind. I felt it needed more of the peanut sauce to balance it out.<br/ <br/ 2. Dynamite Prawns: Rating 5/5<br/ <br/ The prawns were amazing. Perfectly crunchy and fiery in every bite. The sauce was not too overpowering as they had coated the prawns with just the right amount of it. They were also cooked extremely well, soft on the inside and a bit of a crisp on the outside. <br/ <br/ 3. Sous Vide Cooked Belly of Pork; with chinese five spice, elephant food yam, carrot puree, green beans, red wine reduction demi glaze and crispy onion rings. Rating 5/5<br/ <br/ Usually I avoid pork belly as it is extremely heavy but this was anything but. There was an earthiness flavor created from the red wine reduction which was absorbed into the meat making it soft and tender. The belly practically melted in your mouth and was paired with crunchy onion rings to balance the texture of this dish. <br/ <br/ 4. Emperors Balls with Salted Caramel and Sesame: Rating 6/5<br/ <br/ DELICIOUS! Crunchy on the outside and chewy and creamy on the inside. You would never think salted caramel and sesame would go together but they actually the pair up quite nicely. This desert is not too sweet or salty, well balanced in flavor and texture. <br/ <br/ Overall I had a wonderful meal and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Goa!
