Sometimes you just need a change of view. Sometimes you need to let yourself unwind and reward yourself with the vacation you deserve. Sometimes you need to let the elements of nature rejuvenate you. And Occo is where you will get all of this and more. This stunning beachside restaurant exudes a charm of its own that's hard to resist and will make you revel in the beauty of Goa to the fullest.
The story of Occo, the upscale indoor and outdoor beachside restaurant, began with Gaurav Parikh, Ketul Parikh, Anuj Chugh, and Varun Chugh, the directors of Richboyz Entertainment, had a vision to disrupt the hospitality industry in Goa. With the birth of Occo, they have gone beyond the boundaries in delivering a one-of-a-kind experience to their guests. Their expertise and passion for the F&B industry are evident in how they keep raising the bar with every venture they start. They are also the co-owners of All Saints, a contemporary, elegant all-day restaurant in Mumbai that has garnered praise for its impeccable delicacies and stellar ambience. Complementing the pleasant feel of the place is the Occo Sunsets Boutique Festival, a disco event that will awaken the party animal within you. This had recently happened as part of the New Year’s celebration last year and featured artists like Houdini, Audio Monk, and DJ Amaya.
Varun Chugh describes OCCO as "a coastal setup offering an artfully crafted culinary experience in a light and airy setting." "As for the menu, it features modern dishes with a twist and handcrafted cocktails," he adds.
