Our Story

Where Passion Meets Plate

Founded in 2014 in the heart of Panaji, The Black Sheep Bistro was born from a simple belief: that the finest dining experiences come from honoring local ingredients while embracing global culinary innovation.

We are the black sheep of conventional dining — unapologetically different, boldly creative, and deeply rooted in the rich culinary heritage of Goa.
