Love is hungry Amora es etsin
Now open · Fremantle, WA
We invented a country so that we could invent a cuisine. That country probably exists, if many-worlds theory is true. The café definitely does: Kaltoran street food and coffee, behind the DADAA building on Adelaide Street, next to Clancy's. Open seven days.
Check hours
The short version
We're open seven days a week: 7:30am to 2:30pm on weekdays, 10am to 2:30pm on weekends. Street food that's warm and quick, because the cooking is done before you arrive.
The menu is up, with prices: Kaldo's Island Chicken and Tropical Chicken with rice, braised sausages, toasties, spring rolls, chips and wedges, and a few meal deals. The coffee is the standard Australian espresso list. Freo already knows what it likes. We make a decent one and leave it at that.
It's a café, so it stays quiet. A coffee and something to eat, a chessboard on the counter, next door to Clancy's and a short walk from the Markets.
About the name
Kaltora is a country we made up. We wanted a cuisine of our own, and a cuisine needs somewhere to come from, so we gave it one: five regions, a king, a language, a flag with a fork on it, and about five thousand years of history. Kal means hearth and tora means land.
If the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is right, somewhere it's real. Here, it's a café in Fremantle, run on a few rules we wrote for the country and then decided we liked. Feed people first, ask questions later. Keep a spare place set at the table. Don't shut the kitchen while someone's still hungry.
The full history is on the Kaltora page. There's a short guide to the language if you want to say hello at the counter. Kallo is hello.

“Kallo! You are at the border of Kaltora. I am the one who lets people in. I have never once failed to let someone in, so this will not take long.”
The Kaltoran passport is free and takes about a minute.

Etiquette note: when the flag passes, you lower your fork. You don't raise it.

Rear entrance of the DADAA Building, 92 Adelaide Street. The door is around the back of the building, not on the street. Clancy's Fish Pub is next door and the Fremantle Markets are a short walk. No bookings, walk in.
