On the Waterfront

Exquisite cocktails, a delicious mezze platter and a stunning view of the sun dipping into the Mandovi river makes Feri Bar, north Goa's new haunt.

- PREETI VERMA LAL

Feri Bar sits coquettishly at the rocky feet of the Mandovi River, borrows its name from Goa’s iconic water vessel—the ferry—has a 9-foot-long fish skeleton at the copper bar staring back at everyone who walks through the wooden door and aged coconut palm slants at the heart of this tony cosy space. Feri Bar is from the same stable as the famed Sopo, and Room One restaurants—by the trio Bonita Mascarenhas, Vipin Raman and Siddharth Kerkar—so naturally the food is superlative.
