The charm of Goa lies as much in its onshore breeze and surreal views as it does in its cuisine and cultural experiences. Nestled atop the Saipe Hills, Doce at Hilton Goa Resort brings a unique experience of the perfect Hi-Tea with their Goan Charlie. Doce, the open-air café inspired by the quaint Portuguese-style architecture has an elegant ambiance and will serve the Goan Charlie, a three tier stand of local savoury and sweet bites that are both familiar and unfamiliar – but, most of all, ideal for you to luxuriate in a dreamy sundowner with a stunning panoramic view of the setting sun, Nerul river, and surrounding fields.
The signature bites for Goan Charlie are inspired by the menu of The Poder Chronicles, a flagship event at the resort which aims to support and revive the Poder community and the Poder culture at the heart of the Goan culinary tapestry. The concept showcases the local Goan bread and its various versions by presenting a diverse selection of meat-infused breads, with vegan options as a bonus.
