Taquelim Gonçalves

Taquelim Gonçalves specialises in Algarve sweets and artisan ice cream in Lagos, including the egg-and-almond dom rodrigo and other regional confectionery.

What to expect

The family business is associated with dom rodrigo wrapped in coloured foil, made with egg threads, egg cream, almond and cinnamon. Morgado de Lagos and almond-shaped fish sweets are other signature products, alongside its artisan ice cream.

It is a useful stop for a regional sweet or something to take home, with a different purpose from a full restaurant meal. Ask which products are available for the quantity you need. Larger confectionery orders can be arranged through the operator’s published telephone or email contact.

Planning your visit

  • The operator accepts direct confectionery orders.
  • Choose products with the staff if you need ingredient information.
