At Saltamontes, the pace shifts. The music is lighter, the light is warmer, and the day feels like it’s meant to stretch. Disco Brunch and sundowners bring people together without urgency — just good food, good music, and time that isn’t being counted.
As one of the most welcoming pet-friendly cafés in Anjuna, Sundays are shared with everyone — friends, families, and even the occasional furry companion finding a sunny corner to settle into.
It’s also one of those simple yet memorable things to do in North Goa that doesn’t need planning. You arrive, you settle in, and the day takes care of itself.
Among the many best cafés in Anjuna, what makes Saltamontes stand out is this feeling — that you don’t need to do more to enjoy the day.
Not every place fits every mood. Saltamontes does.
Mornings begin slow — coffee, laptops, and quiet focus. It’s a space many have come to rely on as a co-working café in Anjuna, where productivity doesn’t feel forced. As part of the growing network of digital nomad cafés Goa is known for, it offers just the right balance of comfort and energy.
By afternoon, the mood softens. Conversations replace meetings, plates arrive at the table, and the garden opens up. As a garden café in Anjuna, it creates room to pause, to sit longer, to not rush through the day.
And by night, it transforms again.
Lights dim, music takes over, and it becomes one of the most easygoing cocktail bars in Anjuna — where the night isn’t about excess, but about atmosphere.
It’s not just a place you visit. It’s a place that meets you where you are.
Evenings at Saltamontes don’t begin loudly. They build.
It starts with a table, a drink, a conversation. Then the music eases in — a guitar riff, a familiar melody, a rhythm that slowly pulls the room together. Before you know it, the space shifts. What was once a quiet evening turns into something shared.
Known for live music in Anjuna, Saltamontes has become a place where sound shapes the experience. From solo acoustic sets to full-band performances, every night carries its own energy. Some are high-voltage, some are intimate, but all of them feel connected.
In the larger landscape of live music in North Goa, what makes this space different is how close it feels. There’s no distance between the artist and the audience. The music isn’t just heard — it’s felt, collectively.
You don’t just come here for a performance. You stay for the way it unfolds.
Some places you visit once. Some places you keep coming back to.
Saltamontes is one of those.
Tucked into the heart of Anjuna, it’s a space where good food, easy conversations, and everyday moments come together effortlessly. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or settling in for a long afternoon, the vibe stays the same — relaxed, welcoming, and always a little lively.
The menu is built for comfort and craving. Think crispy chicken popcorn, sizzling plates fresh off the grill, creamy pastas, and burnt garlic mushrooms that keep finding their way back to the table. Pair it with a mimosa in the day or a whiskey sour as the evening sets in, and you’re exactly where you need to be.
As one of the most loved best cafés in Anjuna, Saltamontes blends food, music, and atmosphere into something that feels natural. It’s also a favourite among creators and remote workers, making it part of the growing culture of digital nomad cafés Goa is known for.
Come for the food. Stay for the vibe. And once you’ve been, it’s hard not to bookmark it.
April at Saltamontes is all about cinema that stays with you.
This month, our Thursday Movie Nights are dedicated to Best Picture nominees from the Oscars — films that have captured attention, sparked conversation, and left a lasting mark on audiences around the world. Each screening brings a story that goes beyond entertainment, offering something to reflect on, feel, and carry with you.
Set in the relaxed, open-air setting of one of the most loved garden cafés in Anjuna, these evenings are designed to slow things down. The lights dim, conversations soften, and for a while, the focus shifts entirely to the screen.
From intimate character studies to powerful narratives, every film in this lineup has earned its place on the global stage. It’s a chance to experience cinema the way it’s meant to be — shared, immersive, and unhurried.
With free entry and free popcorn, the idea remains simple: create a space where people can come together over stories. As part of the growing list of thoughtful things to do in Anjuna at night, Movie Nights offer a quieter alternative to the usual buzz, without losing the atmosphere that makes the place special.
Whether you’re a film enthusiast or just looking for an easy evening out, April’s screenings invite you to sit back and get lost in some of the year’s most talked-about films.
Every Thursday. Good cinema, good company, and stories worth staying for.
Some nights are built around noise. This one is built around presence.
Unaccompanied: The Soloist Summit arrives at Saltamontes as a celebration of raw, original music — where artists take the stage alone, with nothing but their sound, their stories, and the space to express freely.
After an overwhelming response, the summit returns bigger, bringing together a powerful lineup of seven artists — Elvis Lobo, Anirban, Jack Tucker, Sanchal Malhar, Valerie, Kalyani, and Blinston — each performing a 30-minute set of original or improvised music. No filters, no backing layers — just pure, unaccompanied expression.
Set in one of the most intimate spaces for live music in Anjuna, the evening is designed for close listening. Every note feels personal. Every performance carries its own world.
Adding to the night is a special moment — Asifa Hawk, a London-based singer-songwriter, joins the summit to debut her new track. Known for her signature “Siren Pop” sound — dark, hypnotic, and emotionally charged — her music explores themes of vulnerability, strength, heartbreak, and self-reclamation. With growing recognition across radio and media, and a strong visual storytelling style rooted in her background in film, Asifa creates more than songs — she builds entire emotional landscapes.
The summit will also feature a new jazz release by Mirabel, adding yet another layer to an already dynamic night of original music.
Supported by Ouro Premium Spiced Cashew Feni and Rangeela Vodka, the event stands as a reminder that independent music thrives through community, collaboration, and shared belief in the art.
For those exploring meaningful things to do in North Goa, this is more than just another event. It’s a gathering of voices, a meeting of creative energies, and a space where music is experienced in its most honest form.

Some days at Saltamontes, we serve food, drinks, music and dance. Other days, we’re reminded why we do what we do. Reviews like this one are a reminder that Saltamontes has always been more than a garden café and bar — it’s a space built on people, community, and belonging.
This is a review we received recently. Moments like these mean everything to us:
“So basically, Saltamontes was my home when I was here living in Goa from the 2020s until 2023, organizing parties here. Creating a safe space for queer people at Saltamontes was the biggest joy of my experience here in Goa both as a creator and as a supporter of the community. But now having moved away from Goa for the last two years, I came back to Goa and the vibe has shifted I don’t know where my people are, I don’t know what’s new and happening in Goa I just don’t know, but I thought why not just go back to Saltamontes and just see what’s happening there. I drove in, parked in my usual space because it’s still available because parking at Saltamontes is ample and free. Please come and park at Saltamontes I parked my car there, I walked in, Alexis was hosting karaoke I got my usual big hug from Alexis, I met my old friends, and then of course Abhishek behind the bar with the beaming smile was there to welcome me again and I felt like I was home all over again. After being away for two years, home now feels like Saltamontes.”
Stories like these are why we keep our doors open, our music loud, and our space safe. No matter how much time passes, Saltamontes will always be here — waiting, welcoming, and feeling like home.

Because here, nights don’t just pass. They turn into stories.
Some nights are meant to be loud. Others are meant to linger.

The kind of night you don’t just attend. The kind you stay for.
