Nestled amidst the vibrant landscape where Goa’s lush greenery meets the azure sea, Taupe emerges as the newest sensation in Goan gastronomy. Conceived by the stellar team of Titlie & Barfly, Karrtik Dhingra, Tarun Sibal, Shyaam Khurana & Bipin Sibal, Taupe epitomises a harmonious blend of culinary delights and cultural richness, where contemporary India intersects with its ancient heritage. Housed within a quaint 150-year-old Portuguese villa, Taupe serves as a testament to the fusion of flavors and
traditions, seamlessly marrying the relaxed allure of Goa with the diverse tapestry of Indian cuisine.
Being the champion of collaborative cuisine, Chef Tarun Sibal, whose culinary prowess spans several
successful ventures across Delhi, Bangalore, and Goa earning him accolades worldwide, has crafted the menu that offers experimental yet approachable combinations, bringing forth exciting reinterpretations of old classics.
Each dish is meticulously crafted to evoke a symphony of flavors, incorporating a variety of unique textures. From the tantalizing Burrata Papdi Chaat accompanied by a zesty jalapeno pickle to the iconic Mutton Korma, and from the savoy Tawa Meat to the refreshing Dal Kurchan Chaat, every creation at Taupe pays homage to its ingredients and the land they come from. Emphasizing a commitment to sustainability and local sourcing, the menu prioritizes seasonality and zero-waste principles in its
culinary approach. By utilising locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, Taupe not only delivers exceptional flavour but also stands tall in its support to the community and ecosystem.
The gin specials like Etonica & Swizzle, tried and tested classics or creative drinks like Parpa Road Colada
with Coconut water & coconut liqueur & the Banana Caramel Milk Punch, the cocktail menu spells modern, eclectic, exciting and crafted to pair perfectly with the Indian fare.
The luxury and richness radiate from the decor and opulent furnishings, creating a space where guests can unwind and savour every moment. The surrounding landscape has been carefully developed to retain the serene ambiance of the property and it brings forth a tranquil setting for people.
