. A compact restaurant with SUPER FOOD. . A small area within the Regalia Resort for inmates only. . Buffet breakfast with a few items on request. . Buffet items were limited but were extremely tasty. . Omlet-like items were served on request within a few minutes. . Timing 8 to 10:30 am. . Very neatly maintained place overlooking the swimming pool. . You have to climb steps to reach your room. . Right from the entrance, uneven floor and steps

Less people visit this silent and private resort & restaurant due to less social media introduction. The vibe is great, food /drink is nice, the price is reasonable (not higher). We met Santosh who gave us wonderful service and introduced nearby north of Goa places for visiting. If you like to avoid crowded places and people, and like good food & friendly vibe then come to visit here.

I had the pleasure of dining at Monarch Restaurant recently, and I must say, the experience was absolutely delightful. The concept they've crafted is truly amazing. The food was nothing short of exceptional, with each dish showcasing creativity, flavor, and precision. The flavors and presentation were a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Monarch's unique approach to cuisine sets them apart, and I can't wait to return to indulge in more of their culinary delights. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience!

Dine with a pool view ... *Resturant is in the hotel - buffet brekfast( with multiple dishes ) We tried dinner and breakfast both. One of best fried rice i had good quantity crisp veggies properly cooked rice chapatis were soft and simple liked it. Veg kolhapuri was good to spicy. Chiken pepper was spicy and tossed in curry leaves and had a good flavour to it. Also veg manchow soup was spicy loved it. Server here was very much freindly and suggested options. Verdict- overall great place to dine in, good service overall would rate 4.7 out of 5 its close to beach.

When we arrived we was a bit unsure if it was open or not because there was no guest, but it is open and we enjoyed it. The waiter was super friendly and had a really high service. All the staff had. We could see them make our drinks, and all glass was checked before use, lime washed and made all in all god drinks. For food we order a wok + 2 local dishes. For them we asked for not spicy, and when it arrived it was too spicy . They offered to redo the dish but instead we ask for some plain yogurt. He also came with a dessert to eat afterwards that stilled the spiciness. For music there was a steady beat of 90/00 dance music which we enjoyed. All in all we enjoyed food and service.
