A Casual, Sun-Drenched Dining Space in Candolim

Citrus Café is the all-day dining restaurant at Lemon Tree Amarante Beach Resort, set in the laid-back coastal neighbourhood of Candolim in North Goa. True to the Lemon Tree brand's cheerful aesthetic, the space carries a bright, relaxed personality that suits the beach-holiday energy of its surroundings. Whether guests arrive sun-kissed from a morning on the sand or dressed for a relaxed evening with colleagues, the café delivers a comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere that feels genuinely Goan in its unhurried pace.

The restaurant serves as the resort's primary food and beverage venue, catering to both in-house guests and event attendees throughout the day. Its all-day dining format means it transitions smoothly from breakfast spreads to lunch service and into evening dining, making it a practical anchor for groups whose schedules do not follow a strict rhythm. The décor reflects the coastal setting — light tones, open and airy interiors, and design cues that complement the resort's tropical landscaping rather than compete with them.

Events, Group Dining & Private Occasions

Citrus Café is well suited to intimate social gatherings, private group dining, corporate team lunches, and casual networking events where a relaxed setting is preferred over a formal banquet hall. The venue works particularly well for small-to-medium corporate groups, family reunions, and social celebrations where good food and a convivial atmosphere matter more than grand production values. Its position within a full-service resort means event organisers can layer in accommodation, pool access, and other resort amenities to build a complete event package rather than sourcing each element separately.

For planners organising offsite corporate days, team outings, or multi-day retreats at the resort, Citrus Café offers a natural base for group meals, informal briefings over breakfast, or wind-down dinners after formal sessions held in the resort's dedicated event spaces. The in-house culinary team handles catering for resident groups, and menu options can be discussed directly with the food and beverage team to align with dietary needs, cuisine preferences, and group size.

Location in Candolim, North Goa

Candolim is one of North Goa's more accessible and well-connected beach destinations, positioned along a quieter stretch of coastline relative to the busier hubs of Baga and Calangute while still being within easy reach of both. The resort itself is close to Candolim Beach, allowing event guests to enjoy one of Goa's most recognisable coastal environments without venturing far from the property. Dabolim Airport (Goa International Airport) serves the region, and the resort's Candolim address places it within a manageable drive for delegates travelling from across India.

For event planners seeking a venue that combines the ease of a full-service resort infrastructure with the relaxed, memorable backdrop of a Goan beach destination, Citrus Café at Lemon Tree Amarante Beach Resort offers a grounded, well-positioned option in North Goa.

Citrus Café is primarily an all-day dining restaurant rather than a dedicated conference or banquet space, so its built-in AV capabilities may be limited compared to the resort's formal event venues.

Citrus Café features interiors designed with a bright, airy character that reflects the coastal Goan setting. Whether outdoor or al-fresco seating is also available as part of the venue should be confirmed directly with the resort, as seating configurations can change by season, particularly during Goa's monsoon months.

The Candolim beach setting and the Lemon Tree brand's well-established hospitality infrastructure also provide organisers with a reliable, managed environment. This makes it especially appealing for corporate teams or family groups who want to combine a structured event with a Goan coastal getaway.
