Bica Velha

Fresh, flavorful, and full of charm! Daily-changing menu based on the freshest ingredients — we had hummus, Serrano ham, a vibrant lentil salad, and perfectly marinated baby squids. Exceptional service, great wine advice, and a cozy atmosphere make Bicas Velha an absolute gem in Loulé!

This is a 100% unique and unforgettable experience. I have had the pleasure of visiting 3 times so far and plan to continue that trend every time I am back in Portugal. Firstly, the atmosphere is SO unique and charming. The walls once held the kings horses! You can even see an original fountain. It is just magnificent. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and so welcoming. It feels like seeing old friends each time we return and they have taken care to know some of our preferences for drinks and such! Now… the food. WOW the food. The menu is changed daily depending on the availability of ingredients and what is in season. It has been a culinary delight, each dish is so fresh and full of flavor. I had the calf liver most recently and that may have been my favorite so far. The hummus/bread/olives are a must as well. We get them every time. I would give 10 stars if possible for the value, the price for these fresh, seasonal, exceptional dishes is nearly unbelievable. We truly feel like royalty when dining here. Thank you Bica Velha, we miss you already <3

Brilliant meal, very tasty. Great service. Only slight criticism is that it was very warm in the restaurant! Other than that, it was amazing, would definitely go back.
