About Gene

4.2

Nestled along the serene banks of the Mandovi River at NH 4A in Ribandar, GENE’s - Restaurant By The Riverside is a hidden gem where the gentle lapping of water meets the aroma of authentic Goan and coastal cuisine. This intimate, open-air dining haven is famed for its soulful ambiance, with candlelit tables under a canopy of stars and the occasional breeze carrying the scent of salt and spice. Signature dishes like the tender, coconut-infused fish curry and perfectly charred prawn balchão have earned it a loyal following, while the must-try crab xec xec showcases the chef’s mastery of local flavors. Each meal here is a journey—slow, unhurried, and deeply connected to the river’s rhythm, making it an essential stop for those seeking an elevated, authentic taste of Goa. For reservations, call 098504 95983.
