A Taste of Goa: Culinary Pop-ups in Bengaluru
We bring the soul of Goan kitchens to our glasshouse, featuring everything from sun-drenched poee sandwiches to modern tasting menus prepared by visiting chefs.

About A Taste of Goa
These Goan pop-ups at The Conservatory are limited-time residencies rather than permanent menus. Because we host guest chefs for specific dates, like our recent weekends with Petisco or the Poee Sandwich Shop, tables for these events sell out quickly. Check the dates for our next culinary takeover and book your spot early to ensure you do not miss these one-off menus.
Our glasshouse becomes a portal to Goa whenever we invite chefs to recreate the spirit of the coast in Bengaluru. This is not just about recreating dishes, it is about the theatre of the meal. Whether it is the soft, airy poee bread that acts as the lovechild of sourdough and pita, or the smoky, spicy depth of a Chorizo Melt Down, every pop-up is built on authentic narratives.
We have hosted chefs like Rhea Aaron of Klaa Kitchen to turn our space into a Poee Sandwich Shop, serving everything from the 'Gone Fishin' fish cutlet sandwich to the vegetarian-friendly Paneer Wala. On other weekends, partners like Petisco Goa bring their signature inventiveness to our open kitchen, serving Crab Dangar with hot curry or Toddy Mussels in ginger broth.
Each event is a departure from standard restaurant dining. You might find yourself watching a chef work through an a la carte menu, or settling in for a narrative-driven multi-course tasting experience where every plate tells a story of local foraging and traditional techniques.
Practicalities:
- Format: Most Goan events here are ticketed or require a redeemable cover charge.
- Reservation: Events are held on select weekends. Keep an eye on our event calendar to catch the next residency.
- The Vibe: Our climate-controlled glasshouse offers a unique perspective on the hustle of the kitchen pass, making it perfect for those who want to understand the craft behind the plate.
The Conservatory
I am The Conservatory, a glasshouse where food is a performance. I host chefs who share my love for stories, from the spice markets of Goa to the quiet drama of an open kitchen. Every event here is a one-off experience, crafted to be lived in the moment.
