Carafina Pereira
Nestled in a rustic Goan setting about 900 meters from the beach, it all started after Mr Martin retired in 1989. It was a corner shop earlier where all the boys from the locality would come to play carom or have a soft drink. It gained popularity to serve Goan dishes like sorpatel, Goan sausage bread and pork chilly fry dished out by Mrs Carafina Pereira. This corner store was then extended into a small eat-out with four tables, which would feed taxi drivers whilst their western clients ate at the more upbeat restaurants.
It has come a long way since. The hard work and dedication put in by Mrs Carafina Pereira and her sons Pobre, Jose & Bonny have put Martin’s Corner on the world map as a must-visit the restaurant. Today Martins Corner is a multi-cuisine a la carte restaurant serving Goan, Indian, Tandoori, Continental, Oriental and known especially for Seafood along with an impressive Bar Menu. Martin’s Corner now has the capacity to cater to 300 covers at a time and ample parking space for about 60 cars. After years of experience in catering to guest’s Martins Corner in 2007 started their family-run boutique resort Martins Comfort – staying at which lets you “Capture The Friendly Goan Atmosphere”.
