Cafe Tato since 1913 (Patto)

When we walked into this little cafe on our first day of the trip, little did we know that we would be having breakfast for the next 5 days here! Warm, homely and simple food which was especially easy on the pocket (and stomach) , this cafe had traditional goan bhajis, paired with fluffy paos, puris and breads. We tasted all bhajis expect the Usal ( due to lack of availability) and found all of them flavourful. The Patal Bhaji was made of Potatoes and dry, the Alsande was Rajma, the Biya was made of Cashews and the Sangam, which as the name suggests was a medley of all. The quantity could've been a little more as we had to order 2 or 3 bhajis individually but the taste was on point. We were catered to with great warmth by Sanjay, Rupesh and Kabir across a span of 5 days. Rupesh was kind enough to give a complimentary taste of their fluffy Banana flavoured bread (puri it was) and Sanjay brought for us a slice of their traditional goan sweets.( Disclaimer- I am not writing this review under the influence of these freebies at all. ) . We tried the hot chocolate, which was not very different from Bournvita Milk and the lassi felt like blended shrikhand and i wouldn't rate them that high but the tea was nice & sweet and paired really well with their dishes offered. Cafe Tato also offers South Indian cuisine of which the Idlis I tried on the last day. The sambhar was great but the idlis could've been a bit fluffier. All in all, do try their bhajis and pooris for breakfast. You will leave happier.

Nice cafe with good food and friendly staff. I've tried vegetarian barayani, poori bhaji, chole poori, banana bunn, and dosa. Every thing was extremely delicious. While Sachin Tendhular, sir, was there, I went. The taste of every item was fantastic. The location is also excellent. If someone were to visit GOA, I would advise them to try this option. Every item was reasonably priced.

Lived up to our expectations!!! Authentic Goan Breakfast place! Service is amazing! Clean! We tried their famous sukhi bhaaji with puri Also the mirchi bajji The star for me was the raagi pudding with jaggery it's a must try!!!!

Decided to try iconic places of Goa serving goan specialities. This place was first on the list as my husband being biggest fan of Sachin. Visited on a weekday afternoon around brunch time.. and to our surprise place was almost full with mostly localites.. we ordered btata bhaji and red kidney beans bhaji, puri, bun (which is fluffy poori with banana), mirchi bhaji, samosa.. everything was delicious without lot of masalas yet tasty.. service was quick and staff was really good, managing crowd well.. Rates are very nominal even after all the hypes. Overall, must visit if you want to try authentic goan food.

Such an iconic spot to savour some delicious Goan breakfast. We tried the sukhi bhaaji, tomato bhaaji and mushroom bhaaji along with fresh pooris and pav. All the dishes were simple yet packed with big flavours. We also tried the mirchi pakoda which was just too yum!! This spot is old school and no nonsense - Small menu, delicious food and affordable prices

Good place for breakfast, not too heavy on pocket and huge variety We tried Dosa, pav and sukka bhaji, banana bun, sanagam bhaji with poori nachini and idli. Of these Banana bun stood out, idli was dry and mirchi bhajji had too much soda. Other were okay

Fantastic food, even better service by Rupesh. This is actually a branch of the one near the church run by the same owner. Honestly, the food was so good that we didn't care that we were not at the original one. We planned to have a light breakfast here. But the food options here were diverse and delicious that we are planning to skip lunch now Definitely recommended to try the Almi Bhaji with Puri/ Pav. Their banana milkshake is perfect and mushroom samosa was unique.

Simply visited this place as it's place of legends, the folklore and aura surrounding this place was far fetched .. AND NONE OF IT'S MISPLACED. It's really one of the original true Goan cafes dishing out vegetarian delicacies in the withstanding true sense n taste of Goa. The buns and Puri bhaji are cravalicious!
