Honestly some of the best cocktails I have had in a long time. The Tapas were well portioned, well plated, and absolutely delicious. A lot of attention to detail that shines through every aspect from the food to the service, to the atmosphere.

A place that i always wanted to visit in Goa Isabella's what I like about this place is that they are as far as I know the only Spanish Tapas place in Goa and in a touristy place like Goa you really need guts and perseverance to stick on to what you are good at. The food and cocktails are by far the best the flavours are pure, I will not use the word authentic since that means even getting the water from Spain The decor is chic and classy and service is warm. If you are in Panjim and want to try some real Spanish food this is a place not to miss !

Loved the place!! Good ambience perfect place for after work chill with friend and couples of drinks. This is the place I want to be very weekend Friday! Music is not so loud but good vibe, perfect for conversation over a drink. Food is good. Right quantity and quality. Service is decent.

The Portugese Tapas in Goa is fantastic. We ordered cheese plater, three snap kind of white and herb liquor, red wine, shrimp, lamp, eggplant, ... etc and dessert tasted like Taiwanese cuissine. The music is relax and atmosphere is friendly. The price is excellent. Thanks to the great service and a lovely night.

We had the egg chorizo and potato Wedges, the chickpea puree and roasted veggies and the Champinones al ajilla (mushroom) . All dishes were lip smacking. We tried the quaffine over crushed ice and rosso vermouth cocktail.. they were beyond delicious! A lil on the pricier side but absolutely beautiful. The space, the lighting, the service.. everything was great.

Another modern restaurant set inside an old building in the heart of Panjim. Isabella has an interesting selection of tapas (small plates) and limited main course with some amazing drinks. We ordered a pitcher of Rose Sangria along with a selection of veg and non-veg tapas including smoked mackarel, prawn cutlet, sweet potato fry and more. The sangria was very different n potent. We tried their sea food n veg Paella for mains which was well done. Definitely worth a visit.

If you wish to dine in Isabellas Tapas restaurant, then make sure you order seafood paella n churos they are good. We also ordered some tapas like Spanish prawns, fiery chorizo, Portuguese style bacaleau (codfish), lamb meatballs, chicken n sausage paella and some cocktails. Thanks to Rahul, who was quick in serving us.
