Located in the city of Vasco-da-Gama, Cremeux is a mini detour while going to the airport from South or North Goa. While you'll have to get into Vasco city to visit this cafe, it's at a distance of only 4 km from the Goa airport. Moreover, the hearty pizzas will make it a justifiable decision.

They also give the option of combo meals where you get drinks and/ or desert with the purchase of certain pizzas. The decor is quite simple, which is compensated by the delicious food.

A beach shack on the Bogmalo beach, The Beach Club, with it's yellow table cloths, is a quiet place to have a hearty, ridiculously under-priced and not to mention, delicious meal. Unlike most beach shacks, they don't offer karaoke or play loud music. The focus is on food and damn good food is what you get. The gentle breeze from the ocean, the sound of the waves gushing on the beach and a starlit sky create a beautiful setting and provide relief from the party scene of Goa, showing you what beaches are like without a crowd and the blaring noise.
5. Joets, Bogmalo Beach
Joets is another beach shack on Bogmalo beach, located just 7 km from the Goa airport. If you're looking for one last dinner at the beach with live music, delicious food and drinks, Joets is the place to be at. This place is quite popular among locals and visitors alike. You might have to wait to get a table in the evening here during the weekends. But this place is always worth the wait! If we're making a list then Joets will undoubtedly top the list of the best restaurants near Goa airport.
6. Thirsty Bear, Bamobolim
Opposite to the Goa Medical College in Bambolim, The Thirsty Bear is famous for its waffles with the added bonus of being open 24*7. It's the right place to be if you're travelling up North or going to the Airport from North Goa and are in need of good food. With hardly any places being open late at night around the airport, Thirsty Bear can be quite a relief if you have a late-night flight to catch. In addition to heavenly waffles, they serve a range of sandwiches, burgers, pastas, pizzas and more.
