Pousada on the Beach, Calangute Pousada is one of the best restaurants in Goa, if you are in the mood for authentic Goan food. Pousada is located in a secluded garden setting, which is set back from Calangute’s crowded sands. As an authentic Goan restaurant, this place makes use of quality local ingredients and uses traditional technique to make their food. To get the right feel, only certain mature coconuts from its own trees go into the curries while only fresh toddy vinegar is used in the balchão (a spicy seafood or meat dish) and the spices used are ground by hand. If you plan on heading to this restaurant in Goa, you should definitely try out the beef and prawn dishes, as well as the vegetable caldin (stew).

Noronha’s Corner, Anjuna One of the best restaurants in Goa isn’t, by definition, a resaraunt at all. My favourite fast food in Goa. Run by three brothers, Charles, Lazarus and Joseph Noronha this food truck at the Anjuna Circle has been serving up fantastic food for the last seven years. When you head out to this Goan restaurant, make sure to keep some place for the hearty Goan-Catholic snacks. The menu includes the three beefs (cutlet, chilly-fry and roast), a particularly fine and spicy Goan-sausage burger, fish cutlet and chicken cafreal(spicy grilled chicken). This restaurant in Goa is an effort of love, where the brothers learned their trade from their parents.
Surya Beach Cafe, Galgibag beach This restaurant in Goa is a well-kept secret, given the fact that most of Galgibag beach’s long pine-crested sweep of sand is known as a turtle nesting ground. The premise of this Goan restaurant is fairly simple; the owners of the shack fish and, while you doze in a hammock, his mother cooks whatever is caught. Undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Goa, this delightful place gives you the pick of the freshest mussels, oysters, prawns, mackerel, crab, pomfret, white and red snapper. You should definitely try out the oysters when you visit this place.
Ciao Bella, Assagao You may be surprised to find that one of the best restaurants in Goa has a little bit of Italy in it.

Thalassa, Vagator Beach Goa has a mix of many experiences, but Thalassa is a Goan restaurant like no other. Perched high on a cliff above Little Vagator beach, you will be struck by the surreal feeling of having walked into a traditional Greek taverna. This restaurant in Goa offers magnificent views of the ocean, as well as fantastic delicacies made from authentic Greek ingredients. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Goa, and definitely one of the most popular, you must try out the kleftiko, a traditional lamb stew, cooked till wonderfully tender with unctuous feta cheese (there’s a vegetarian version too). Another popular option is the souvlaki kebabs with homemade pitta bread.
