Sunset Cafe and Lounge in Orihuela offers a relaxed, welcoming spot primarily known as a café where locals and visitors gather throughout the day for good coffee, casual meals, and an approachable, cozy atmosphere. Located on C. Panticosa, it fits neatly into the rhythm of the neighborhood, attracting folks looking for a reliable place to start the morning or pause during busy afternoons.

The cafe’s vibe is easygoing and warm, making it a popular choice for breakfast and lunchtime. Coffee here stands out as a reliable pick-me-up, often enjoyed alongside a simple breakfast or light bite. Outdoor seating isn’t heavily noted, so the setting feels more intimate and relaxed indoors, suitable for both solo visitors and small groups.

Dishes like homemade beef burgers, lasagne, steak pie, and a variety of toasties and paninis are staples, all offered at very reasonable prices that seem to strike a balance between value and quality. Regulars appreciate the freshness and presentation of meals, which adds a satisfying depth to what might otherwise be a straightforward café menu.

On Fridays, the Fish and Chips option is a highlight and has garnered enthusiastic local approval, especially for those seeking a heartier comfort meal in the early evening hours. Sundays also bring out a different crowd, drawn by a traditional Sunday roast dinner and the chance for a slightly more substantial meal served with the same friendly service.

Staff here enhance the experience with attentive, personable service that makes the cafe feel like a communal spot rather than just a quick food-and-drink stop. It's the kind of place where you might end up chatting with the servers or other customers, especially if you come in regularly or linger over your meal or coffee.

This cafe suits a range of visitors: morning coffee seekers, casual lunch-goers who appreciate a cozy atmosphere, and those who enjoy a relaxed early dinner with some traditional favorites. Whether you’re here for a quick caffeine fix during a vacation stay in nearby Villamartin or looking for a familiar, friendly place to enjoy affordable meals with good company, Sunset Cafe and Lounge fits comfortably into the local Orihuela coffee and casual dining scene.

Lovely cafe for a lunch or a big dinner early on in the day. Everything was fresh and well presented. Prices are fantastic - 6 euro for each meal; the beef burger, lasagne and steak pie. The toasties and paninis are from 4.50 to 5.50. We'll definitely be back and try the wine next time.
