Maré

Fresh off the boats each morning, cooked the Goan way, served with your feet nearly in the sand.

Since 2003

A family kitchen, twenty steps from the water

Maré started as three tables under a palm-thatch roof, run by the Fernandes family on a stretch of Candolim they'd fished for two generations. The name means "tide" — because the menu still depends on it: what the boats bring in by mid-morning is what's on your plate by evening.

Two decades on, the roof is sturdier and the tables have multiplied, but the kitchen still runs on the same rule: nothing frozen, nothing rushed, and every curry made the way it's always been made in a Goan home — just enough for the day, then started again tomorrow.

Word of mouth

What the tables say

“The crab xec xec alone is worth the drive from the airport. We ended up staying three hours past our booking and nobody rushed us once.”

Ananya Rao · Mumbai

“Best seafood I've had in India, by some distance. The grilled pomfret was the standout — and you can tell the staff actually love this place.”

Tom Bennett · London

“We booked a beachfront table for my parents' anniversary and Maré made it feel like ours alone. Bebinca to finish, obviously.”
