Best Beachside Restaurants in North Goa
The Goan sunset is your daily reminder of all that is beautiful in the world.
As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, the sky lights up in shades of crimson. Clouds that were hitherto formless shapes of white and gray are painted in orange and golden hues. A breeze flows in from the sea beyond, bringing with it scents of blooming flowers.
The vast ocean below mirrors the scene above, a natural symphony playing out in perfect harmony. Sunset in Goa is a mesmerizing dance of reds, purples, and blues on the largest tapestry in the world.
Who wouldn't like to enjoy it in the company of friends, food, and a cocktail?

At Pisco, food is more than just sustenance - it's an experience that creates cherished memories and takes your taste buds on a journey. The menu, a unique feature of Pisco, transforms from day to night, with the same core ingredient presented, flavoured and served differently.

These cocktails, like Waves of Anjuna, Summer Dream, Messy-Co, Sandbar, Singing Sunsets, The Flea Market, High Tide, Pistachio & Basil Smash, and Barrel-Aged Negroni, will keep your spirits high despite the changing tides.
Tereza Beach House | Morjim Beach
Situated on a beautiful stretch of the Morjim Beach in North Goa, you will find a restaurant unlike any other in Goa. Named after the landlady's late daughter, Tereza Beach House combines a thatched roof, cane furniture, hand-made lamps, and neutral earthy tones to conjure a laid-back atmosphere to elevate your sundowner experience.
What can you find here? For starters, a wood-fired oven dedicated to pizza topped with only the freshest veggies and meats money can buy. Appetizers and mains galore in Tereza's menu inspired by Indian and European influences. Goa's young singer-songwriters croon on the restaurant's central square stage as guests from across the world find their way to the bar for a cocktail or two.
The cocktail menu is split between house concoctions, a shadow list of classics, and a well-stocked liquor cabinet. Our pick always goes to the Mary Pickford, a lighter variant of the pina colada made with white rum, pineapple juice, lime, grenadine, and Maraschino cherries - perfect for a lazy afternoon. The Posh G&T, featuring gin infused with juniper, peppercorn & rosemary, wins second place on our list.
Tereza Beach House is the kind of place where guests stay back after dinner to soak in the Goan sea breeze and enjoy the susegad life. The establishment even offers a dedicated Sunday brunch menu if you'd like to club your sundowner with a weekender.
