Restaurants cuisine du monde Palermo & West

Better known as "Dal dottore" (at the doctor's), this restaurant is a landmark for Palermitans who have been coming here for over 120 years to enjoy a healing meal. During the smallpox epidemic of 1910-11, it was broth (brodo) that warmed hearts, now it is fish starters and primi of all kinds that gourmets come here to order, not forgetting meat. A typical Sicilian restaurant where fish and seafood - especially sea bass and prawns - are excellent. A good dinner guaranteed!

Just a stone's throw from the Teatro Politeama and (another more recent reference!) opposite the new Disney department store in Palermo, this address is a historic institution. The house exists since 1826! It is certainly the best place to taste the tastiest cuties in Palermo. And all the other Sicilian specialties to eat on the go: arancini, krapfen (fritters), timballi (stewed pasta timbale)... Also a wide selection of sodas and traditional drinks made in Sicily. A stopover is a must during a stay in Palermo.

This restaurant exists since 1995, it is a reference in Castellammare. Its very famous antipasti are to be tasted without moderation. The house proposes almost exclusively delicious grilled fish dishes but also seafood pasta. Normal when you know that the chef used to be a fisherman and that he knows how to choose his ingredients on the market! Don't miss the famous busiate pasta of Trapani, for which this restaurant has found a unique artisanal extruder, and grilled octopus, perfectly mastered. Terrace in summer.

Pizzeria close to the castle square and enjoying a magnificent view of the sea from its pretty terrace. The products used are of quality, the flour is organic and local. A good address for the amateurs of real light and tasty pizzas. The welcome is particularly warm. We recommend the tuna and onion, tomato and mozzarella pizza, or the samaritana, with tuna eggs and mozzarella di bufala, to stay in the Castellammare theme. Also a good choice of vegetarian options.

In this traditional restaurant "the prince and the pirate", a beautiful terrace faces the sea to breathe the good sea air while admiring the sunset. Local specialties are prepared with fresh products, fish and seafood from the day's fishing. Starting with the couscous alla pantesca drizzled with local wine. Do not hesitate to ask the owner's advice, very pleasant by the way, to choose your plates. A beautiful address.

A very friendly and lively address, with a bar, restaurant, galateria, grocery store. The small dining room is a white and blue hut, bright and relaxed, overlooking the sea. Here you can eat antipasti, fresh fish, pasta, salads, on the menu some typical dishes are stamped with the Sicilian flag. It is tasty and generous. It's a small family business that works well, and is open 24 hours a day for a late night drink or an early morning coffee. A few tourists rub shoulders with the locals

An unpretentious setting but with a beautiful view of the sea. The menu is short but tasty: fish and pasta specialities are served, including succulent macaroni and almond macaroni. Lovers of huge lobsters just caught will be served! Lusciousantipasti buffet: try this carpaccio here, these bruschettas there, these eggplant parmesan and other fish grilled to perfection. Shrimps, octopus, mussels, squid, the sea is rich here with marvels to be seasoned according to the traditions of the island at this table.

This restaurant-pizzeria is run by the friendly Martino Domenico, recognizable by his pirate scarf. You can eat there on the terrace facing the sea, on the port, the dream spot on holiday. Or in a beautiful room with a high ceiling and blond stone walls. The dishes are generous and the service adorable. Of course seafood is the main focus, first and foremost red prawns from Mazzara. But also the meats on the grill, especially the Argentinian Angus beef.

A very good surprise that this small restaurant located in a former palace and not far from the lively Piazza Ballarò. Held by siblings in 3: Nicolas speaks French while Julia provides the service of Chef Diego. The Arancine are excellent, like ravioli to shrimps. All accompanied by a good glass of Sicilian wine will make your happiness sure.

This restaurant has set a requirement to use only local and seasonal products. Even the meat is from Favignana whenever possible, if not from Sicily. But it is above all the compositions that are remarkably creative. What about millefeuille with ricotta and Sicilian blackberry jelly, tuna in citrus and strawberry tartar or carpaccio with pistachios? The list of pleasures is long. So as not to spoil anything, the room is as modern as the kitchen, with beautiful photos on the walls, and the terrace is distinguished. A favorite.

This new restaurant, with its terrace in front of Punta Petrolo in the center of Castelmare del Golfo, is without a doubt one of its best restaurants. The Sardinian polpette (sardine dumplings with tomato) are absolutely divine as a starter, as are the sea urchins. Here we serve perfectly grilled whole fish or delicately marinated fish fillets. The chef's welcome is equal to his 100% Sicilian cuisine, made from the best local fish and with an authentic taste in the plates.

This restaurant, run by the three Lentini brothers, promises a convivial moment thanks to the outstanding reception of the customers, and a pleasant gastronomic stopover. On the menu you will find typical dishes but concocted with very noble ingredients. For example: fish arancini with saffron cream as a starter, a trio of fish and shellfish (including red shrimps from Mazzara) put in a jar to sublimate all the flavours and smells of the ingredients - the house speciality -, and a lemon mousse with strawberry sauce to top it all off.

This new address stands out for its contemporary setting and original concept. On the "laboratory" side, fresh pasta is prepared in an open kitchen and sold to take away. Gnocchetti, pappardelle, fettuccine, trenette, cassatelle, treccioline, busiate... you will discover new kinds! In the restaurant, taste the famous pasta of course, but also fish or meat dishes from Sicilian recipes with a modern touch. Good wine list.

Unmistakable, this restaurant looks like a castle built on the sea, mounted with sculpted Liberty-style spikes. A la carte, Sicilian-style fish specialties of great finesse, revisited to be light and "green". As a starter, shellfish shavings on an exotic fruit tartar form an exquisite blend, while on the main course the sweet and sour pork fillet with Avola black red wine and almonds is as confusing as it is delicious. If the prices are high, the experience is unique: the chairs are Stark scratched and you can bathe from the terrace.

Sale of oak, ice and fresh drinks for small voids at low prices.

If you get tired of social life, you can always stop for dinner in the small port of Sferracavallo, less chic than Mondello, but renowned for its excellent fish restaurants. Well known to Palermitans, this address without fuss offers a menu of fish and seafood with a dozen choices in all for antipasti, primi and secondi, no more, but all at a low price. It is copious, very warm and appreciated by the locals.

A good restaurant in Trapani known for its quality cuisine based on local specialties. Fish couscous is the main specialty of the house (even if the quantity of fish is questionable), but there are also some rare recipes from the island of Pantelleria (couscous and Pantesca salad), where the Arab influence is also very present. Tasty meat dishes in sauce and good hearty salads. Don't miss the original squid ink meatballs as an antipasti. Good wine list, reservation recommended.

Taste the antipasti, very famous in this restaurant (but only on the menu), whose compositions are refined. The house offers almost exclusively delicious grilled fish dishes but also original seafood pasta such as fettuccine with citron, poutargue and prawns. Superb terrace in summer, quite lively. Efficient and French-speaking service. The Sicilian wine list is well stocked and of high quality. From the starter to the dessert, a tasty cuisine with fresh products. A very good address.

One of the meeting points for the district's executives. Facing the sea and not far from the fish market, this tavern offers good Sicilian dishes (taste Taverna spaghetti) and a generous wine list. Attentive service, even if often overwhelmed. Beautiful terrace overlooking the sea.

A restaurant appreciated by the natives and even an institution: the house has existed since 1972! The plates are elegant. Excellent homemade pasta dishes, fish and seafood to the fore, especially the famous red Mazzaro prawns, famous all over the island, served with a slice of grapefruit or the famous seafood couscous, generous in seafood. As a bonus: succulent desserts, carefully selected wine list with a beautiful range of island wines... One of the best addresses in the city and even in the region.

A magnificent blonde stone establishment that has existed since 1950. You can choose between pizzeria and trattoria, with excellent fish. It must be said that they arrive almost directly on your plate, the two rooms being installed on the beach.

This pub located near the cathedral of Monreale offers pasta dishes cooked with fresh products. It is really good and surprising because the address is modest. You can opt for a few tables set outside on a platform. You will also come here to quench your thirst with a wide choice of beers and wines. Concerts are organized on Friday evenings. The setting is very arty, musical and cinematographic, with vinyl covers from the 1970s and 1980s. Friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from the owners.

Don't be fooled by the name of the establishment and dare to enter this small restaurant with a somewhat rustic and intimate setting. You won't be disappointed! At Anna's, we eat the good dishes that she passionately concocts, following family home-made recipes, and which are brought by the very kind Salvatore. Here everything is of quality, the quantities are generous and the prices are really reasonable. Try the pasta alla norma or the antipasti tray, excellent!

This bar-restaurant is located in an alleyway between via Roma and via Maqueda. The welcome is warm and the cuisine is of high quality. Not to be missed for a thrifty lunch in the historic centre. The Bocconcini Belpaese, bacon rolled on a ball of melting mozzarella, are devilish. The tagliatelle of the house, with lobster bisque and a stracciatella hat, are original and delicious. All this for a more than reasonable addition. Do not hesitate to ask for a table on the pleasant terrace.
