7. Mishra Pedha, Panjim
An entry that stands out on our list is Mishra Pedha. This is the Willy Wonka of Indian sweet emporiums, with a vast choice to tempt you.
Mishra Pedha is a fantastic Indian dessert shop in the centre of Panjim. The floorboards here in fact must be groaning under the strain of all that amazing Indian ‘dessertage’.

6. Brittos, Baga
Brittos is known for its very beautiful ambience and mellow lighting. Although all of the desserts (and pretty much their entire menu) of this Goan restaurant are something to talk about, the Tiramisu is one of their most enjoyed and most parcelled desserts. A tiramisu is quite the ‘pick me up’ (as it is literally translated from its native Italian), being made with coffee and coffee liqueurs.
Ideal after that heavy prawn curry rice that has just about put you to sleep. Or just about at any time.

1. Viva Panjim, Panjim (duh)
You thought we missed out on Bebinca didn’t you? Think again buddy. When you’re looking for a dessert that screams down home comfort, there’s nothing quite like some Bebinca. Of course, at Viva Panjim, you aren’t just getting a carton of the packed stuff. The Bebinca here is heavenly warm and can be enjoyed alone or alongside caramel and chocolate sauce for an added bit of indulgence.
This is one dessert that is famously difficult to make (and therefore almost impossible to create in small quantities at home).You’re better off heading to Viva Panjim, for a real taste of the land of sea and sun.
Must try : Bebinca with Caramel and Vanilla Icecream.
