THE PLACE
Mango Tree is conveniently located on Vagator's main street and is open from breakfast till late night, serving Goa's residents, local and international, throughout the day.
The roadside eatery is simply yet comfortably furnished and offers a laid-back, convivial atmosphere. The bar wraps around the exterior of the restaurant, with one side facing the street, the other within the restaurant. In the morning, this is where the regulars prefer to have their breakfast and coffee, akin to the stereotypical American diner; by sundown, however, this transforms to a cocktail bar. The dining area comprises table seating that accommodates small to large groups.
The patrons here are as diverse ad Goa's landscape, comprising familes with children to lone bikers and aging hippies to young backpackers and tourists. Mango Tree is the quintessential neighbourhood diner bar, serving everyone, everything they need in a friendly, laid-back environment.
