Restaurants cuisine régionale Palermo & West

You'll come back to it like a boomerang. This restaurant, known as a secret well preserved by the locals, offers a unique menu every evening at a fixed price, including antipasti, a variety of dishes, a dessert, a coffee and even a pitcher of wine. And what dishes! Here we only come out with a full belly and a short breath. It is impossible not to finish these red mullets, or this octopus salad, or these squids, the most melt-in-the-mouth squids ever tasted. An overbid of fish and seafood dishes prepared in the local style, that of the fishermen's houses of Selinunte. A great experience but try to fast a little before!

Let's talk about the setting first: outside, tables under romantic trees lit by candles. Inside: climbing plants and pretty lamps under high ceilings. Finally, the plate: the menu is also different from the usual, everything here is prepared with local or organic ingredients, depending on the season's products. Tasty and creative dishes, which are recommended as a change from traditional Sicilian specialities. Because here they are revisited according to healthy and balanced recipes, but also vegetarian and vegan.

Like any self-respecting Sicilian city, Trapani has small street food stalls to eat island specialties on the go. Look no further, here is the best place to taste the famous Sicilian arancini! This rotisserie is ideal for a quick bite to eat for just a few euros and serves several different kinds. Those with speck and pistachios have proved to be delicious. Ideal for a picnic before taking a boat.

Here, no tourists, but a rather deafening Sicilian noise level because the restaurant room, quite large with a part in green terrace, is filled every evening with locals. For those with sensitive eardrums, there is a terrace. The pizza oven is running at full speed and the choice is quite wide. Fine and crunchy dough, abundant toppings, local atmosphere, speed and friendliness of the waiters, contained prices, everything is there! Special mention for the Pizza San Domenico: tomato, mozzarella flower of milk, roasted cooked ham, artichoke and basil.

This restaurant serves homemade food in the pure Sicilian tradition in a setting renovated in 2020. Too bad, we liked the 60's atmosphere with its speckled tile floor and rustic wooden chairs and the food seemed better before. Now it's all white modern furniture! No matter, here happiness is in the plate. For starters, think of the triptych of octopus salad, sardine balls in sweet and sour sauce and swordfish caponata. Then spaghetti with squid ink and the famous fish couscous.

The address is touristy, no doubt, just in front of the Norman palace. But the food is delicious, the prices are standard and the terrace is very pleasant, with the view on the building and the garden. In antipasto: octopus à la grecque fondant, in primo piato homemade seafood ravioli (prawns, mussels, fish, squid) followed by a fillet of swordfish with black truffle, divine. Passing through an ancient porch you will also find a room inside the restaurant, air-conditioned and a lifesaver during the hot summer days.
