Located at Praça da República, nº 67, r/c, Café Calcinha is just a few steps away from Largo Gago Coutinho, the heart of the city of Loulé.
Founded in 1929, this café has had other names such as Central, Carioca, and Louletano. Known as "Café Calcinha" due to a nickname given to the owner's children, it is an icon of the Algarve region.
Café Calcinha is a place where culture and tradition come together. It was frequented by the poet António Aleixo, and a statue in his honor is located on the café's terrace.
Café Calcinha is now owned by the Loulé City Council, which restored the space. It is managed by a team of young entrepreneurs committed to maintaining the original quality and charm.
Enjoy traditional Algarve snacks and dishes, prepared with local ingredients that reflect the gastronomic richness of the area, from the coast to the mountains.
Café Calcinha is more than just a café; it is a testament to the history and identity of the Loulé community. Its preservation and evolution have made it a place of tourist interest.
