Beach Bites & Boozy Nights: Goa’s Must-Try Food Spots

In Goa, the waves aren’t the only thing crashing—so are the flavours! Whether you’re digging into spicy seafood with your toes in the sand or sipping a sundowner under palm trees, every bite here comes with a sea breeze and a story. Here’s how to eat and drink your way through Goa’s coastal delights—and with Mony, you can scan and pay like a local, no matter where you’re from.

Fisherman’s Wharf, Cavelossim
This riverside favourite is a Goan classic. Come for the coastal flavours, stay for the live music and breezy vibes. Must-try items include butter garlic prawns, crab xacuti, and Feni Sunrise cocktails. Perfect for a laid-back lunch with a view.

 

Souza Lobo, Calangute Beach
A legend on the beach scene since 1932. Shack-style comfort food with stuffed crabs, kingfish curry rice, and serradura dessert. Order, sit back, and watch the waves roll in.

 

Olive Bar & Kitchen, Vagator
Chic, artsy, and Insta-perfect. Cliffside spot with chorizo pizza, seafood risotto, and cucumber & basil G&Ts. Come for the cocktails, stay for the sunset.

 

Gunpowder, Assagao
Hidden in a lush Portuguese bungalow, Gunpowder serves South Indian soul food in Goa’s north. Try Kerala beef fry, Andhra prawn curry, and coconut payasam. Spicy, comforting, and unforgettable.

 

Soro – The Village Pub, Siolim
Live music, buzzing energy, and Goa’s coolest crowd. Peri peri chicken skewers, fish tacos, and house cocktails. Weekend gigs are a must.

 

Pousada by the Beach, Calangute
Serene, almost secret, beachside escape. Seafood platter, pork vindaloo, and bebinca with ice cream. Cozy tables in the sand with the sound of waves.

 

Joseph’s Bar, Panjim
Tiny, charming, and totally local. Pickled prawns, choriz pão, and feni cocktails. An old-school tavern tucked in Fontainhas with serious character.
