We are so sorry you missed it!


Saturday night was the official relaunch of the cafe.


Last week the old Candoo Cafe sign came down and with much attention, the new Cafe Alcazar sign was put in place. Later this week we will introduce our new in-house menu. Long time customers of the cafe will see that our take-away menu is still the same, including our long list of pizza favourites.

And what better way to celebrate the changing of our name, than with a 7 course tasting menu!

The night was a huge success. A festive atmosphere was set with sharing platters overflowing with delicious new flavours. Diners enjoyed sharing the food platters while listening to authentic world music and clapping along with our belly dancing entertainment; Kylie from Bella Belly Dance.

It really was just one big party. But lets not forget the food!
