About - Spices 29

The Heart of Goan Cuisine

Goa, a gem on the Indian coastline, is as much celebrated for its picturesque landscapes as it is for its rich, culinary heritage. Goan cuisine, a flavorful testament to the region's history and cultural diversity, is a fusion of Indian and Portuguese influences, marked by a tantalizing array of spices, fresh seafood, and exotic ingredients. This culinary tradition is characterized by its bold flavors, intricate preparations, and a harmony of tastes that evoke the spirit of Goa's sunny shores and vibrant lifestyle. At Spices 29, we bring the essence of Goan cuisine to life, offering a menu that is a tribute to this unique gastronomic legacy. Join us in exploring the diverse and aromatic dishes of Goa, where each recipe tells a story of flavor, tradition, and culinary innovation.

The Heart Behind

From the bustling kitchens of the Taj Group of Hotels in Goa to the expansive seas of the Merchant Navy, Nelson Fernandes’ journey is a testament to passion meeting purpose. Joining the Merchant Navy, Nelson sailed the globe, his culinary prowess turning the ocean air fragrant with aromatic spices from his kitchen. This global odyssey not only honed his skills but deepened his resolve to share his love for Goan cuisine. Choosing Australia as his home, he envisioned a place where the unique flavors of Goa could thrive, blending tradition with a touch of his global experience.

In April 2018, the vision that Nelson and Selma nurtured together blossomed into Spices 29, establishing a haven of Goan culinary excellence in Australia. This restaurant, now a beacon celebrated with the National Silver Award for Excellence, is the culmination of their shared dreams and dedication—a place where each dish is a narrative of adventure and passion. Spices 29 transcends being merely a dining venue; it's a manifestation of the couple's journey from passionate chefs to proud owners, united in their mission to connect people through the universal appeal of exquisite, heartwarming food. As Spices 29 continues to garner acclaim, it stands as a tribute to their enduring commitment and the profound connections forged through the art of cuisine.
