Johncy's beach shack, Benaulim Beach, South Goa, July 2024

- In the monsoon season, Goa’s beaches are closed for swimming. This is because it is the fish breeding season, and also because the sea is too dangerous for swimming. That’s why, most of Goa’s famous beach shacks stay closed from June to September. But not all of them. The older shacks on Benaulim beach, Rafael’s, Pedro’s and Johncy’s, which we are visiting today, stay open all through the monsoon season. These are also the old favourites where you will find many Goans, besides tourists, whatever the season. Today we’re visiting our favourite, Johncy’s, itself a landmark on Benaulim Beach
From Maria Hall, continue straight past Kadar Supermarket on the Benaulim Beach road. Drive till the end of this road. When you reach the main beach parking lot, you’ll see Pedro’s on the right, followed by Johncy’s
Johncy’s has been serving both Goans and tourists bang on Benaulim beach since 1987. Even in the off season, Johncy’s is quite busy. Goans like Johncy’s because it is one of the few beach shacks which serves authentic Goan food. We prefer to come here in the off season when it is less crowded. In the season, you can climb straight down from Johncy’s onto the sand. Benaulim beach is serene and peaceful in the monsoon. Our favourite time. The boats are getting their annual break while a few tourists are enjoying the beach in the rain
Today we’re trying the crispy chicken, calamari tossed in Goa sausage, spicy beef roast, pork ribs and sausage pulao
The crispy chicken was excellent. All five of us enjoyed it. The squid tossed in Goa sausage was also popular with everyone
Then came the spicy beef roast, quickly followed by the pork chops, which looked very good
The pork chops were superb. We enjoyed the beef roast, but it was not at all spicy
We really liked how they served two pieces of chepnim (water mango pickle) with the sausage pulao
The bill for only the food and soft drinks for 5 of us was 2088
Time to go home for a nice siesta.
But not before posing for pics like tourists visiting the beach for the first time
Enjoy life, guys. YOLO!

Super 🎉
Goa in Monsoons is a different place - serene, less crowds, lush green everywhere…The rains make it more beautiful! ❤️
Johncy’s has always been a great place to eat…never been there in rains tho, next time for sure!
And please tell Maria - the “holy” tradition of CHEERS for us mere mortals (read drunks) entails the following steps:
- clinking of glasses
- saying cheers while smiling and looking into each other’s eyes, and
- taking a big ass sip without keeping the glass down…
You don’t keep the glass down without taking a sip or else you get 7.5 years of bad luck…a tradition’s a tradition, you see 🤟🏼😀🍻
Sure, will do!
Please visit Hill Rock Restaurant which is located in Teracol,Querim.
It's the best restaurant in Goa
Maria still touched the glass to the table but probably because it was heavy. Nice that she sipped right away😂😂😂
hi,gd mrng,maam,hope u all are doing good!!!
Very good. Hope you are well
Try Roland's at fatrade...super goan fare. Especially the curries..don't look at menu...ask them what's available..
Thanks for the tip!
Who is that girl sitting next to that boy
What, no seafood??!!
As unpopular as this will be, that's my kind of protein, beef, pork, calamari, sausage!!
Chicken? Meh....
Jokes aside, this is one place I have been wanting to try out. BTW Lesley, I would like to hear your views on ordering lobster (obviously with rechead masala, duh!!). Is it worth the price at all?
As usual, Cheers.....
No thali....
Hi Michael, to tell the truth, this is a place we go to often. I felt funny to make a video about Johncy's because it's such a regular for us. Then someone requested. We just ordered what we felt like on the day. Didn't think much about it. And we eat fish way more often than this stuff, so makes a nice change. Cheers!
U said all five of us enjoyed... But we did not see the 5 th person..
5th person is holding the camera
😊😊
You don't tip ?
Of course we tip. In cash or GPay direct on waiter's number
Not a good restaurant no good taste for food only make money 2:01
Missing goa n goan food
Without magi cube no goan food
Where we get real Goan food ❓
Really!?? Ha ha... You've not had Goan food!
What's magi cube... The 3 Magi who visited Jesus... That's Magi cube (Magi^3)
