Tasca das Tias Camellas

Inspired by a renowned 19th-century Coimbra tavern, Tasca das Tias Camellas revives a name deeply connected to the University of Coimbra and the city’s bohemian spirit. With its original stone walls, antique wooden bar and 16th-century cistern, this historic restaurant in Coimbra is a place filled with soul, heritage and character — an authentic setting in which to experience the city’s culture and traditions.

The day begins with a carefully selected range of local products, served from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Whether enjoyed at Tasca das Tias Camellas or in the courtyard, beneath the shade of a century-old walnut tree, breakfast invites you to savour the mornings in Coimbra at a slower pace.

At lunch or dinner, the table at Tias Camellas brings together flavours designed to accompany shared moments, lively conversations and unhurried gatherings. Whether in the welcoming atmosphere of the Tasca or the peaceful setting of the courtyard, every meal becomes part of the Sapientia experience.
