About Antares Restaurant & Beach Club

A cliff-perched restaurant and beach club by MasterChef Australia's Sarah Todd, Antares pairs modern Australian cooking and cocktails with one of Vagator's finest sunset views over Ozran beach.

Antares is Vagator's polished, high-profile beach club โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ‚น3.60 Cr and most priced on request.

Modern Australian cooking from MasterChef Australia's Sarah Todd.

A serious drinks list that suits the sundowner setting.

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 โ€” 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 โ€” couples, groups and visitors after a stylish evening rather than a sweaty dance floor. It's a beach club in the polished, food-and-cocktails sense rather than a hard-partying one, which is exactly its appeal in a Vagator otherwise known for raw trance venues. Come for golden hour: arrive with time to settle, order drinks, and let the view do the work as the sun goes down.

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. Small plates and sharing dishes suit the sundowner-into-dinner rhythm; the presentation and flavours are a clear notch above the casual shacks nearby.

Book a table timed for sunset and treat it as an occasion. Prices are premium, so it's more a special-night-out spot than an everyday one โ€” order a couple of standout plates, a good cocktail, and enjoy the setting rather than trying to work through the whole menu.

The verdict

8.7/10

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.
