The seasonally changing menus are specially crafted with the finest quality ingredients and the freshest produce to suit all palates.
Paper Moon Goa’s design is warm, clean and simple. The comfortable furniture and mood lighting is interspersed with natural greenery inspired by the local Goa vibe. The restaurant will offer authentic Paper Moon flavours, combined with a wide selection of the finest wines.

Spread over 42 acres, Taj Fort Aguada Resort & Spa is built on the ramparts of a 16th century Portuguese fortress. The quintessential Goa with rice paddies, spice plantations, and the striking blend of Goan and Portuguese culture, offers a unique taste of India, the release from the company adds.
