Pisco - By the Beach — Restaurant in Goa

Ambience & View – 10/10 ⭐

The best part of this place is undoubtedly the view. We were seated at a sea-facing spot, and it was absolutely stunning—calm, soothing, and just perfect. No complaints at all, 100/100 for the view!

Service – 6/10 ⭐

The server Biplab was polite and attentive, and we appreciate the effort the staff put into making guests feel comfortable. However, the seating arrangement process was a bit confusing. We were initially shown one table, asked to pay, and then assigned a different table, which felt disorganized. That being said, the manager, Larry, later reached out to understand our experience, which we really appreciated. It’s always a good sign when management listens to feedback.

Food – 4/10 ⭐

While some dishes were enjoyable, overall, the food didn’t quite meet expectations. Prawn Dish – Had a slight ocean or dry fish smell, which I personally didn’t enjoy, but my wife really liked it finished the whole without my help.. So, this one comes down to individual taste.

Chicken with Mushrooms – The dish was not cooked properly the first time, so we sent it back to the kitchen. Even after that, I didn’t find it tasty. It was just an okay dish, and honestly, the chicken didn’t feel fresh.

Chicken Tacos – Flavor-wise, they were good, but most of our dishes had a similar tangy taste. A bit more variety in flavors would be great. May be we didn’t understand the menu and ordered mistakenly 🙂

Pizza – The crust was extremely thin, with minimal toppings and too much cheese.

Tres Leches Cake – It was decent but a bit too sweet and cake may be socked properly. A more balanced sweetness would have made it better.

Menu Options – 4/10 ⭐

The menu felt a bit limited for a place that charges premium prices. Adding more options, such as Indian or Asian cuisine, would enhance the experience and cater to a wider range of tastes.

Pricing & Final Verdict

The view is undoubtedly the highlight, but at ₹1500 per person for a middle table (or ₹2000 for a sea-view table

Pisco By The Beach — Detailed Honest Review 🌴✨

Pisco By The Beach is one of those places that truly makes you feel like you’re on a dream Goa holiday. I went during lunch hours, and from the moment I walked in, I loved the calm yet lively vibe — beach breeze, laid-back music, and beautiful boho interiors with wooden decor and white accents.

Entry Charges: There’s an entry charge of ₹1500 per person, which works as a cover charge. The good thing is, it’s fully redeemable against your food and drinks, so it’s like pre-paying for your meal.

Vibe: The place is beachfront (or very close) so you get the best views and feel the sea right there while you eat. The atmosphere is relaxed yet stylish — perfect for a long lunch, catching up with friends, or celebrating something special. It’s very Instagram-friendly too, with cozy corners and plenty of natural light.

Must-Try Food & Drinks: The menu is impressive for a beach spot — everything we tried was fresh and delicious. ✔️ Peri Peri Prawns — perfectly cooked, spicy and full of flavor. ✔️ Sushi Rolls — fresh and well-rolled, good portion size too. ✔️ Wood-fired Pizza — crispy thin crust, cheesy and great for sharing. ✔️ Truffle Fries — a total snack treat with cocktails. ✔️ Signature Cocktails — refreshing, beautifully served, and worth trying at least one!

Service: The staff was polite and made sure we were comfortable. Service is not super fast (Goa style!) but they check in and make sure you’re happy.

Best Time to Visit: I highly recommend going for lunch or late afternoon — it’s peaceful, bright, and you get to enjoy the beach breeze and view without the evening party crowd rush.

Overall Experience: For me, Pisco By The Beach is a must-visit if you’re in Goa and love beach restaurants with good food, beautiful decor, and a chilled-out vibe. It’s a bit premium but totally worth it for the experience.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) A perfect spot for lunch dates, sundowners, or just a slow, sunny Goa afternoon...

My favourite restaurant, by a mile! I have eaten here many times now, almost always trying a new dish. They have all been amazing. Head Chef Rohan has crafted 2 creative menus, Lunch for the day and Dinner for the evening, with such interesting and original combinations of quality ingredients. The choices really are superb, and will suit every palate. Ideally you'll want to get there at least an hour before sunset, you'll need time to take the awesome views in, and get the perfect shots of your party, your cocktails and your meal. The mocktails are all great too, I can vouch for all of them, but would struggle to name a favourite. If you go later in the evening and order from the Dinner menu I absolutely recommend the spinach risotto, simply heavenly and my personal favourite so far! Or go for lunch and stay for dinner, why not treat yourselves? The location could hardly be better, right on beautiful Anjuna Beach, with scenic views and magical sunsets across the sea. They have a solid music selection during the day and a DJ spinning upbeat pop tunes with an Anjuna twist from some time in the afternoon onwards. The staff are great, so friendly and attentive. On my first visit I came for lunch and stayed until well after dark. Not originally my intention, I stuck around because towards sunset the whole tempo went right up and dancing broke out across the restaurant. It was an incredibly fun and wholesome experience. Some of the staff might well be professional dancers, they're awesome. Their passion, skill and obvious enjoyment of working there shines through, which for me is a massive plus factor. Look for the new After Dinner lounge bar attached to the main restaurant too. As of writing, it will be opening tomorrow night after a beautiful and tasteful redecoration, with more unique snacks and drinks. Are you still reading this or have you booked a table yet? I don't know what else to say, just go there, I guarantee...
