Planning for Goa Sunsplash? Here’s a trusted food map for Ashwem, Morjim, Siolim, Anjuna and beyond.
Goa’s coastline remains full of shacks, cafés, grills and homestyle kitchens welcoming travellers, artists and festival-goers all season long. Because many Sunsplash attendees stay in or around Ashwem–Morjim–Siolim, we curated this list for 2025–26 — a shortlist of places that showed recent activity going into late 2025, and that tend to deliver good food and good vibes through the season.
Whether you’re heading to Sunsplash or just exploring the coast, these are spots that combine flavour, atmosphere and ease.
Food Tips for Sunsplash travellers
• Ask for spice levels — kitchens often adapt for global palates.
• Stay hydrated — fresh coconut water from roadside stalls is a must.
• For budget nights, buy poi, fruit or snacks from a supermarket and do a sunset beach picnic.
• Late-night beach-side Maggi or chai often hits after sets.
• Ask for the “catch of the day” — many kitchens use fresh daily seafood.
