Yes, it's a premium venue. Prices reflect the celebrity-chef billing and the clifftop location, so it's better suited to a special occasion than an everyday meal.

What kind of food is it?

Modern Australian-leaning cooking by chef Sarah Todd, with a strong focus on seafood and standout cocktails.

Is there a beach club and loungers?

Yes — alongside the clifftop restaurant there's a beach-club section with loungers stepping down toward Ozran beach.

When's the best time to go?

For the view, arrive ahead of sunset. Book a table timed for golden hour and let drinks roll into dinner.

Not in the hard-partying sense. It's a stylish, food-and-cocktails beach club with DJs and occasional live sets, rather than a trance venue.

Is it family-friendly?

It works well for a relaxed daytime lunch with the family; evenings skew more toward couples and groups after a smarter night out.

The scene

The setting is the headline: a clifftop deck and a spacious, airy restaurant looking straight out over Ozran beach and the Arabian Sea, with a beach-club area below leading down toward the sand. It's designed for lingering — sunset drinks that roll into dinner, DJ sets that lift the mood as the light fades, and the occasional live act or party night in season. The crowd is a smarter, mixed set — couples, groups and visitors after a stylish evening rather than a sweaty dance floor.

What to order

The kitchen is modern and Australian-leaning with strong use of local seafood and produce, so lean into the fresh seafood plates and the signature cocktails, which are a genuine strength here.

Vagator's most polished beach club and a genuine sunset destination, backed by a celebrity-chef kitchen and excellent cocktails.

Antares is Vagator's polished, high-profile beach club — the Goa venture of chef Sarah Todd, of MasterChef Australia fame. It sits on top of a low cliff above Small Vagator (Ozran) beach, with a large open-plan restaurant up top and a beach-club section stepping down toward the sand. The result is one of North Goa's more picture-perfect sunset perches: sea on three sides, an Australian-leaning menu, and cocktails as the sky turns.

By day it works as a relaxed beach club — long lunches, loungers, drinks with a view. By evening it turns into a destination for dinner and sundowners, with DJs and occasional live sets adding atmosphere on busier nights. This is a premium venue, and prices reflect both the celebrity-chef billing and the setting; service can be stretched when it's full. But for a special-occasion sunset, a stylish lunch or a smarter night than the trance shacks nearby offer, Antares is a reliable Vagator standout that continues to draw strong reviews.

Vagator itself is a smaller, characterful pocket of North Goa's property market. Avacasa tracks about 6 listings across 2 developers here, part of a North Goa cluster of roughly 130 homes with a median around ₹3.60 Cr and most priced on request.

The verdict

Vagator's most polished beach club and a genuine sunset destination, backed by a celebrity-chef kitchen and excellent cocktails. It's premium-priced and can feel stretched at full capacity, but for a special-occasion dinner or sundowners with a cliff-top sea view, Antares delivers on its billing.
