It's mid August; the monsoon is subsiding and it is about time to hit the beach again. On this pleasant Sunday afternoon, I visited La Brise to attend their Sunday Brunch. The first line of the invite email read, "Your Sunday just got better with the all new Beachnic, a Sunday Picnic & brunch at the La Brise beach shack by Novotel, Candolim," so I didn't really know what to expect. I had never been to the place before, even though it launched last December (2015); so it seemed quite a plan to spend my Sunday afternoon at the Beachnic by La Brise.La Brise is one-of-its-kind uber chic lounge space and is absolutely different from the shack experience. This colloquial seafacing restaurant on Candolim Beach, North Goa is a place to be at for a chilled out Sunday afternoon at the beach, accompanied by some delectable food, freeflowing drinks and vibrant music. Beachnic : The Sunday Picnic & Brunch at La Brise is priced at INR 1599 + taxes. But there is a Buy 1 Get 1 Offer running until the 4th of September. So you might as well hurry up and reserve a table soon.
My my.. What an ambience. Lounge (open air) overlooking the beach. Owned by novotel I suppose. Sets up the mood for a perfect evening with ur special someone. Food though is average. Service is amazing. Felt like a 5 star restaurant. Rates are very high. Digs a hole. Need to work on the taste to make the rates worth it. :)
Should visit if u win in the Casino.. :)
Its a restaurant overlooking the beach. Me and my friend visited the place a day back.
The ambience was great. Had a lovely time.
Food was equally good.
Service was up to the mark. And Melvyn(who was attending to us) was very prompt and helpful.
Highly recommended.
Wonderful place located a few 100 feet away from the beach. Very good Food wonderful service, very good ambiance. Would definitely visit again when in Goa .
This is a beach view restaurant overlooking the sea.. Ambience is really good. We only ordered Chicken cafreal and it was tasty. Didnt order any drinks as it was priced very high as per Goa standards. Service was pathetic. The bill came in 30mins only when we threatened to leave.
La Brise is the beach side restaurant for the Novotel Group of hotels in Goa.
If you're a guest staying at Novotel, you'll be provided with free shuttles to and fro.
The food, overall was good, and it ranges from Goan to North Indian to Continental Cuisines. The menu is modestly(well..... relatively) priced. Anyone looking to sit down, relax, and indulge themselves in the exceptional service should consider a visit.
Appetizers - We didn't order any appetizers, but the menu does have a pretty decent spread.
Entrée - The Grilled Lobster!
Slow Grilled in either Continental Butter Garlic style or our own Indian Tandoori style, the lobster was one hell of treat! Served with a side of fries and salad dressed in olive oil, it is perhaps one of the finer items dwelling on their menu. La Brise is one of the only few places in Goa which serves Grilled Lobster at a moderately affordable price(2000-ish. Other places will serve lobster which is priced anything North of 3000 or even 5000.
Teeny tiny note - This is NOT a red lobster. But it's still astounding.
Chicken Biriyani had a little too much oil, but otherwise it was pretty good.
Goan Prawn Curry was absolutely flawless. Ordered with a Goan Poe(pronounced something like poi-ee) and Plain White rice. It was a wonderful blend of Goan spices and prawn cooked in coconut oil.
Goan Prawn Xacutti. Ideal to eat with Roti or Naan or Rice. Very different from the Goan Prawn Curry, as this has a relatively richer and thicker gravy. Goan spiced Prawns are somewhat of a favorite and they are highly recommended.
This also comes in Peri-Peri(translation..... Super Super Spicey) along with a few other variants.
Expenditure - Unless you're going to splurge on the lobster(which I still believe is worth every rupee) you'll end up with around 400 to 600 an individual.
Ambience - You're greeted by a rather mundane looking massive wooden door which opens up into a wonderful pathway leading to the seating area near the beach.
Verdict - Brilliant for dinner. After a long day, it's an amazing place to unwind, sitting there enjoying the sea breeze. Service is top notch.
Recommended.
One of best places for Lunch in North Goa, away from crowded & cheap shacks at Candolim Beach. The Quality of food and the service is one of the best i have ever seen. It has a beautiful setup & the breeze from the sea makes it a memorable experience. Free shuttle service for guests at Novotel. Highly recommended 👍🏼👍🏼
Just when we realised it was a sister concern of Novotel group of hotels, we knew it was going to be good. We had the red Snapper, texas chicken wings, stir fry chicken and fried rice and many more things. We came twice and even a third time to try their breakfast spread but unfortunately they were filming a cooking show so maybe they had closed shop. A great place to have a meal by the ocean. I know it is beyond their control but if they could clear the smaller shacks before them, it would be a total win! The shacks kind of blocked the nice view of the ocean.
The place is done up beautifully. You must try and catch the sun set view here. We weren't in the mood today too much so we ordered just the nacho and cheese and the chocolate mousse. Both were enjoyable. I would go back there again. This place is owned by Novotel & Mercure so they arrange free picks and drops to this restaurant if you are a resident guest.

Beautiful location...definitely recommend it for the ambience and the Lobster Thermidor. The staff is extremely friendly. Do visit it when you are in Goa next.
This is the private beach club of Novotel. Attended it during my stay in Novotel. The DJ was arranged for the whole night, till 4am. The food was great. Due to being a high tide season, the beach was closed but I believe they allow party on the beach during Summers. Novotel provides free shuttle service to and fro from this place.
What a beauty this place is for a candle light dinner on the shores! How good is the ambience for a bottle of wine with friends to relive old times. Simply superb
Super place... Nice location... Great food... Lovely drinks...
Go here in the evenings... Enjoy the sunset...
