If you want genuine Goan food, Florentine is the place to go. What is recommended is the Chicken Cafreal, the Prawns Recheado, and the rawa fried mussels, though in all I found most dishes cooked well. The ambience is not much to talk about, No AC section... plastic bucket chairs... lots of noise from your fellow eaters.... etc. However once... More

Whether you have or not, the Bombay Duck they serve at Florentines is in a class of its own. Juicy, fragrant, crispy and with the most incredible flavour, it prefaces a meal you know you are going to enjoy, And if you choose the chicken caffreal, you'll be in heaven.

Simple place with plastic chairs and tables. Looked like a favourite place for the local community rather than for the regular Goan tourist. Florentine is famous for its Cafreal and I loved my King Fish variant of it. My colleague ordered the Chicken and I took a couple of bites. Both were excellent. Total value for money

Best known & tasted place for chicken Cafreal- which is reallly good..but do not forget to try out the other seafood goan style cuisine like rava fried & rechad fried variety of fishes.. for veggies the dal, rice is also too good..love the food ..

the chicken cafreal is delisious the staff is smart and the restaurant is clean well worth a vist will be goin again if you want real goan food this is the place to go ,we went on the bike but if u dont no goan ask a taxi to take you .

My personal view is when you travel to another place, you must try out the local cuisine. Florentine serves the best Chicken Cafreal, I have come across with the local bread (Poi). Have eaten at a few other places, but the taste is the best at Florentines. Apart from the cafreal, other goan dishes, like goan fish curry rice, chicken... More

Yes thats what makes this cafe, havent tried anything else (hv visited more than 10 times) . The serve one of the best cafreals in the state.

When in Goa, if you want to cut out the touristy routine and get a feel of the local food as the locals prefer it, head to Florentine! This place serves the best Chicken Cafreal in town, served with fresh Poi (Goan bread). Beyond the fish curry rice, the menu serves the quintessential Goan dishes like Xacuti, Caldin, Vindaloo. It...
