Have been coming to this place since 2012. Once every 2 years, and it's been just the same - amazing!
Came with my parents, who have come here for the very first time. Both are sceptical about eating out, yeah, just the opposite of me. But well, this is our story.
First ordered Budweiser and Corona for my dad and I, and while that was savoured, in came the beef tongue, the squid Recheado, Goan Red Rice and Pork Vindaloo and Chicken Hakka Noodles.

Well, the beef tongue was a delight, thick disks of beef tongue and potato in a creamy green gravy was just the best thing to start with.

The Squid Recheado is my all-time favourite, which I tend to order everytime and at everyplace in Goa. It was succulent, flavoursome and well portioned. Just divine!!

I then placed an order for the Bailey's, which I've been wanting to have for a while now, that no doubt is one of a kind liqueur with its own distinctive fragrance, smoothness and taste.

The main course came in which was Goan Red Rice and Pork Vindaloo - Oh the taste! Soft pieces of tender pork and a spicy gravy with the steaming rice was just out of this world!

They did serve a small side of Pickle, which was homemade Mango pickle, divine with each bite and truly worthy to pen down.

Finally the Chicken Hakka Noodles came in, and it disappeared in no time! Freshness in the noodles, quantity was just appropriate, but the taste was at point!

All of this and the bill was just ₹1,999/-

I did want to have Kings Beer, but it wasn't in stock, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the service was great, the ambience, and the food too.

Cheers to Pedro's for a delightful experience!

Visited last Saturday for dinner; it hosts live music on the Saturday nights.
I found this place comparatively cheaper than the other eateries on the Benaulim beach. The only disappointment was lack of choice and availability of desserts.
We had masala fried calamaries; calamaries were super fresh and tasted great with the spicy goan masala mixture. 👌
Our next starter was chilli chicken which apparently had fallen bland in front of the calamari dish. Individually it was good, goan style.
For mains we opt for chilli garlic mixed noodles. They serves hakka style of noodles and sauces were served separately; so one can mix those as per taste. Fried garlic on the top adds a crunchy bite and great flavour to the noodles.👍👌
Pocket pinch: 1K for two.

Beach side restaurants are my favorite. The feeling of calm, the breeze. Nowhere else do I enjoy a beer more. Great food. We had an usual Goan meal but was one of the best I've ever had. Fried Lepo(sole fish) were fresh and lucious. They could have had more masala/spiciness but were delicious nonetheless. Tisryo(clams) Sukha was good but I've had better. Rechead Bangdo(Mackerel) was delectable. Flavor was spot on, I was in love. Prawns curry never disappoints and it did not. Right amount of sour and spice. You could find me scrounging for the lady fingers in it(I love those in curry). The service was a let down. Once they got us our first order no one even came close to our table. We had to look for the staff and when we spotted anyone, we had to scream to call them. Didn't matter much as we were busy chatting and had time to spare. A good experience overall.

This place is the go to place if you're visiting South Goa. With a vast bar and food menu and serenaded by live music Pedro's gives you the typical Goan susagad feel. The service is a bit slow but worth the wait. The butter garlic squids are to die for. Overall, I would definitely recommend Pedro's to those lazy travellers who just want to relax by the beach with good food and company. Viva!

We went here while we were at the beach. This place sits right on Benaulim beach. It’s a quite quaint place which serves some great Goan food.

However, we went for breakfast here. The food was good especially the sausages. Their amazing smoked flavour made me want more! We also had the cold offer, Ham and cheese sandwich and the full breakfast. The service was quick and prompt.

It’s not a very well known place I guess because I don’t see too many people here. But it’s a nice place to visit also it’s dog friendly place!

Visited this place for break fast and the place was empty but the breakfast was good . We tried the english breakfast comprising of omlette, toast, fresh juice . It was perfect . Also tried chicken club sandwich . It was nice but could have been better.

The place is bang on the beach with cold breeze flowing all day . A perfect place to unwind. The place was not busy with guests in the morning as it was a hot sunny day but i somehow enjoyed the quiteness of this place.

4 star to this place and the wonderfull english breakfast it had to offer. !!!!

On visit to GOA we kept a day for visit to South Goa. When we reached Benaulim beach by afternoon we were damn hungry. So this shack came as a savior to us. Pedro's have good variety of food in their menu.
We we're suggested to try rava masala grill fish by the waiter & I must say it was perfect choice.
The taste , presentation and cooking all were perfect. Infact the price of liquor was also less in comparison to shacks of North Goa. In case you are planning to go South Goa must try Pedro's food. Anurag Mehra

Located right on the benaulim beach, this restaurant offers great view of the sea and the sunset if you are sitting in the right area. You ll get good mocktails, goan specialities as well as continental dishes here; needless to say beer and other stuff as well.
The staff is very courteous and the owner will come and speak to you with keen interest.

One of our friend recommended this place.
It’s just in front of the beach, it’s a spacious restaurant with some amazing view.
For food we had beef & chicken chilli for starters.
For main course we ordered chicken pasta , butter chicken & chicken tikka.
Food here is good although pasta was bland in taste.
Goan food would be a must try at this place.
Goan music makes the environment even more soothing.

I was surprised when i saw avg. 2.2 rating for this place😐. We went to the beach in sep 15 there was not of much option opend as it off season but found this place still open. We were carving for a good egg sandwich, when we asked for it although it was not in the menu but they agreed to prepare it for us. They also asked for how we want it and justified the recipy we asked for. Had some finger chips, egg sandwiches and few drinks. The solitude of the beach and the food and drinks along with some good service made our evening. I hope they keep up the good work and get good ratings that they truly deserv.

Ordered for biryani. Aroma was nice but the taste was ok. Of course it was a tawa biryani.
Taste was ok. Would definitely recommend for Goan dishes but not North Indian cuisine.

Wen ur in South goa, you have to visit this place....located on d benaulim beach itself, Perdos is one of the best restaurants in Goa which offers fresh seafood along wid delicious beef and pork dishes....
Always wen I go goa I make sure to have the beef roast and sausage chilly fry wid fenny....
But this time was unique.....Pedro's has their own reciepe for every dish.... The seafood and tongue we had was outta the world and adding to it the fresh cashew fenny.....our evening was sorted....we also tried the bebinka wid vanilla ice cream :)
Medium priced, professional servers and a good beachside ambience....wat else do you need!!!!!

Visiting goa means relishing Goan food. Me and my friends were craving Goan good from the time we reached goa until we bumped into Pedro's restaurant at the Benaulim beach. Absolutely amazing and authentic Goan food. Every dish we ordered was to die for and every plate it came in went back empty. The chef is a Goan lady who deserves a standing salute.

Goa symbolises the sea, the sandy beaches, the colourfully clad firang and desi people and most importantly the elaborate and palatable Goan cuisine. Few weeks back we were in Goa and for the 4th time. As expected we have had our share of site-seeing in our former trips, so this one we wanted to convert to a foodie delight. We started off with “Pedro’s” on the scenic Benaulim Beach of South Goa.

It was a beautiful moonlit night and the sand was shining ceremoniously in its imaginative luminance. When we drove down to the place from Varca, it was around 8:30 pm. But as September is off season for Goa as a travel destination, it was relatively sparsely populated.The staff was extremely cordial and sweet and since there were not too many to be attended, we were quite pampered. 

We started off with "Masala Crab" and when the red hot crab cuisine came, we were left gasping for breathe. It was tasty, tangy and most importantly "HAWT". So to neutralize the tantalizing effect of the crab we ordered some less spicy "Masala Prawns". Both the dishes were undoubtedly delicacies and we enjoyed every bit of the red eyes and flowing nose. We had also ordered a cocktail "Jamaican delight", which was a yummy citrus indulgence with vodka. And then to top it all, we experienced flavoured hookah, me for the first time.

Life is a journey and sometimes when I look back, I appreciate the importance of uniqueness. Pedro's is undoubtedly not the best restaurant in South Goa, but its location by the sea on the serene Benaulim Beach, its friendly and chilled out atmosphere and the magic of time has made the experience unique to me. Do visit the place next time when you are in Goa.

The place is quite open as it is a beach-side restaurant. It may feel a bit chilly at times though because of the strong winds. We ordered pork ribs and prawns balchow. The pork was just delicious. It came off nicely and was perfectly cooked. The prawns were tasty but could have been better. We ordered for a starter as well but that was just okay. Still, a nice place to chill in South Goa by the sea.

Another beautiful restaurant on the beautiful Benaulim Beach. We were there for lunch, so the place wasn't crowded at all. We ordered Paneer Butter Masala, Daal Fry and Butter Naan. The food tasted nice, but the service was slow (maybe because the staff might be in resting mood :D). Prices were nominal and ambiance was good (calm with sea breeze flowing in the restaurant). I liked the place and would suggest a visit.

Pedro's is one of the most amazing places to enjoy the shack culture in Goa.Overlooking the Arabian Sea one can enjoy the best seafood here along with the authentic Goa cuisine.A bonus on the festive season is the amazing karaoke live music.Surely one of the most pocket friendly joints to enjoy a lazy evening,whether you are with family or friends.

Been going here since I was a kid. And so I can say I haven't seen or heard of any rudeness from the waiters. I've only seen them being friendly. But since they change every season, perhaps the other reviewers had bad timing. The food is pretty good. Try their prawn/fish balchao with rice, the traditional fish curry rice, or their steaks.

We used to visit the next door place quite often. Don't know why we didn't try this one before. It's speciality is Goan food. Try the cafreal, rechado, fried fish (ask the waiter what's fresh), fish curry rice, pork sausage chilly fry and the like. All the Goan masalas are homemade and don't have the typical restaurant taste. A simple fish curry rice comes with pickle, papad and Kismor. If you want to eat Chinese, go someplace else. It's right on the beach so good ambiance. The karaoke was good too. Not like other places where all drunkards cry hoarse in the name of karaoke making the dinner of the rest a painful experience. Good place for Goan food enthusiasts.

This restaurant has recently undergone a bit of a renovation - location is the same, but it has now got a tiled floor and is less of a shack and more restaurant.
Food is mostly Portuguese Goan in style, and is tasty.  Service could have been a little quicker at times

Here you can get a very nice view of the sea as you enjoy your food. The ambience is very pretty. The service was good and the food was tasty as well. The only problem was the hygiene, I did find it a little bit unhygienic because there were flies everywhere and they would sit on all the glasses and food, there were crows flying inside the restaurant at times. The furniture looked a bit unpolished. But I think if you don't care about these things you'll enjoy the place. If you're with your group of friends it won't matter except the flies they are very irritating.

Good food, prompt service and reasonable pricing, what more can one ask for. The menu has beef and pork options as well. We had honey chilly potatoes, stuffed mushrooms (must try), pasta arabiata, goan prawn curry rice. All were very satisfactory and made to our specific request. There’s seating available above the ground level which gives a good view of benaulim beach. Live music and large plate portions are an added bonus.

Normally I do not write restaurant reviews since I rarely eat out. On my trip to Goa, I stayed at Taj Exotica and due to the excessive heat in the month of May, I never felt like leaving the resort. On my last night at Goa, I decided to eat out as I wanted to try the actual Goan food (not the 5 star food that's priced 2x of what it's actually worth) and after researching a bit I found out this place nearby. I went on a weekday for dinner at around 7:30pm and the place was almost empty. We ordered Goan chilly chicken, prawns masala rava fry, bombil masala rava fry, prawns xacuti, prawns curry rice. The quality and taste of food was amazing. I had been to Martin's corner too and this place is a lot better than Martin's which is overrated. The waiter was really kind and hospitable. The order was served quick and didn't keep us waiting for long. I would definitely recommend the Prawns and Bombil Rava Fry. If you are staying in Taj, you should definitely visit this place once as it's a 10 mins drive from the resort. Expect to pay around Rs. 800 per person.

We had dinner there during our stay at Benaulim, Goa. We considered this restaurant because of it’s review on Google. The ambience of this place is good and the music taste of the operator is very good. They infact played a qawali type song as well which was unexpected in such kind of restaurant. We had ordered : Prawns fried tide : Very Good taste and quantity. 2 persons can easily share. 4/5 Veg Garlic Noodles : Again very good in taste and generous quantity. 4/5 Overall it’s a good restaurant. You can consider this for dinner/lunch.

Its one of the oldest shack at Benaulim Beach overlooking the sea - as per the current owner they have crossed 60 years and the 3rd generation is managing it now. We went around 12:30, so it was not crowded. had few beers and a fish platter with 2 variants of fish in Goan style. The place was spacious and we could have the best view of the beach.. They had managed to keep a temporary tattoo designer , so we got our best tattoos made. The owner was quite friendly and guided us with our choice of fish. Will visit again for the food and the ambience offered at Pedro's.
