Top 9 Spots To Have Bebinca In Goa, By Local Foodies

We are just a few days away from the grand festival of Christmas and the whole world is excited about it. Each region has its own way of celebrating it and the feast also differs from place to place. In India, some of the best places to visit during Christmas are Puducherry, Goa, Kerala, Shillong, Delhi, Kolkata, and Manali. 

Speaking particularly about Goa, it is a perfect place to visit with your friends during the holiday season. The entire state is decorated like a bride and it's a great experience. When it comes to Christmas delicacies, bebinca is the queen of the festive feast.

It is a fluffy cake cum pudding that is prepared with flour, egg yolks, ghee, and nutmeg powder. Baked in multiple layers (7 to 16) with golden and caramel hues, bebinca belongs to the Indo-Portuguese cuisine.  

If you are also planning to make a trip to Goa for Christmas, here are the top ten places to enjoy bebinca in Goa:
