Restaurants & Cafes

Behind every great dish in Goa, there’s a story.
It could be the family that’s been serving Goan fish thali for generations. Or the young chef who started a cafe with just five tables and a dream.

At Goankar, we go beyond menus. We feature restaurants and cafes not just for what they serve, but for who’s behind them — the cooks, the owners, the teams that pour heart into every meal.

This isn’t a list of reviews. It’s a celebration of local food culture — of places where regulars walk in without checking the menu, where every table has a memory, and where food feels personal.

Explore our handpicked stories of Goa’s most soulful food spots — proudly local, deeply loved, and ready to welcome you.
