QUESTIONS? GOOD.

Everything you might want to know before you find us.

  • A jazz café. A place to eat. A place to drink. A place to listen.

    Sitting waterside at Olhão’s Mercado da Verdura, Cantaloupe Vol.2 brings together food, wine, cocktails, coffee, people and live music.

    No customers. Only guests.

  • At the Mercado da Verdura on the Olhão waterfront, with the Ria Formosa right out front.

    Look for the music.

  • Food that travels a little.

    Great produce from the Algarve and Portugal mixed with ideas from everywhere else — fish, tacos, Wagyu beef, proper salads, vegetarian and vegan dishes, Algarve potatoes and plenty designed to end up in the middle of the table.

    Take a look at Noons & Nights for what’s currently cooking.

  • Portuguese wines, cocktails, cold beer, coffee and the usual things that make an afternoon considerably better.

  • Our hours change with the rhythm of the week and occasionally with the season.

    Check our current opening hours before heading down.

  • Sunday takes the room.

    Live music, two sets and a rotating programme of local and visiting musicians.

    Jazz. Experimental jazz. Familiar sounds taken somewhere unfamiliar.

    Sundays speak in volumes. And this is Vol.2.

  • Yes. We strongly recommend it.

    Our Sunday music sessions can fill quickly, so booking a table means you can concentrate on the important stuff when you arrive.

    Eating, drinking and listening.

  • Depends when you find us.

    We serve across the day, with menus that move from coffee and something small through to long lunches, Noons & Nights and our dedicated Music Days menu.

  • Absolutely.

    There are vegetarian and vegan dishes across our menus. If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, talk to us.

    We’ll look after you.

  • That’s rather the point.

    We have outdoor seating right on the Olhão waterfront overlooking the Ria Formosa.

    Sit down. Order something. Stay longer than planned.

  • Please do.

    For groups, celebrations, private events or something slightly out of the ordinary, get in touch and tell us what you’re thinking.

  • We’re not near it.

    We’re in it.

    You’ll find Cantaloupe Vol.2 at the Mercado da Verdura, right beside Olhão’s famous market buildings and the Ria Formosa.

  • Of course.

    Our wine list is proudly Portuguese, chosen to be drunk rather than discussed for twenty minutes.

    Although you’re welcome to do both.

  • Probably.

    Come find us.
