The best bars and cafés Sardinia

Its beautiful terrace overlooks the marina of Palau, just above the ferry landing stage. The view of the sea from here is simply splendid: in the foreground the island of La Maddalena and the islet of Santo Stefano, in a setting that is just as resplendent in the sunlight as it is in the moonlight. At aperitif time, a rich happy hour buffet is set up by the friendly team. It allows to accompany the drinks. More original, a sushi buffet will delight lovers of raw fish.Concertsevery evening.

Bacco Bistrot is the new trendy place in Bosa, a bit bobo chic and trendy, and above all delicious and offbeat. They serve improved sandwiches, charcuterie and cheese boards, burgers and tapas, all skilfully presented and melting in the mouth. The wines and beers are local products and participate in the alternative or slow food circuit. We like the locavore and gourmet atmosphere while keeping a touch of simplicity. Finally, having lunch on the terrace of the most beautiful shopping and pedestrian street in Bosa is a pure delight.

This friendly bar brings together those who wish to extend dinner with a drink in a slightly kitsch setting. The heterogeneous and very funny decoration mixes bondieuseries, toys, and political propaganda with Holy Virgin, paintings of Sardinian artists or communist posters. A few cosy tables occupy the entrance and the bar at the end of the room. Handcrafted beers and organic wines are on the menu. With each order, the patron leaves small preparations to be tasted. It is possible to order delicious sandwiches and salads made by the minute.

The beautiful facade of Caffè La Marmora is sure to catch your eye and will undoubtedly make you pull out your camera. Located at the top of Via Matteotti, the one with the umbrellas, this small bistro has a loyal local clientele that comes at any time of the day to enjoy a ristretto or a glass of white wine. We fell in love with this pocket handkerchief room, its small terrace facing the fountain and its tagged façade, but 1920s style. The address smells like the Italian art of living, where you take your time watching people go by.

This brewery-restaurant is especially known for its large selection of homemade beers. The drinks are carefully selected, right down to the home-made soda. It is a good address to discover the island's artisanal beers and make sure there is more than just Ichnusa. The selection is pointed and eclectic, with the guarantee to have a maximum of choice at the pressure. It is possible to eat a hamburger or grilled meat, but without conviction. The terrace on the pedestrian street is very pleasant.

In the heart of the maze of pedestrian streets and very close to the beautiful Piazzetta Savoia, a real wine bar that serves natural wines and nuggets from small local producers. If you haven't yet fallen for the canonau or the bovale, now is the time, because here they only serve nectars. You can also enjoy small planks of cold cuts and cheeses to accompany all this. An address a little bit bobo but rather refined and pleasant.

The Gallura nature show starts here at breakfast. It continues throughout the day with a panorama that is different every time depending on the light. This beautiful terrace surrounded by a fascinating wild landscape is located on the heights of Cala di Volpe. Just opposite the Soffi Island and in the distance the glittering Porto Rotondo. Here food and drinks are strictly Sardinian, right down to the gin "made in Sardegna". At sunset the atmosphere becomes magical: total peace.

This discreet café with a view of the harbour is a pleasant break after a long crossing. Its extended opening hours make it possible to eat and relax at almost any time of the day. The right idea? Its large choice of pastries and viennoiseries makes it possible to make a real breakfast. For other meals, the catering is not fantastic, but the location of this café with its small terrace is very practical so as not to waste time.

This bar is housed in a lovely traditional stone house with a cobbled courtyard. The iron tables are set under a trellis and an old olive tree. The intimate and bucolic atmosphere invites you to take a break: breakfast, writing your travel diary during the day, reading a good book, sharing a drink with friends. It's always a good time to settle down here. The team prepares bruschettas, paninis and hot dogs so that you don't stay hungry. Some evenings, concerts are organized.

Pane e vino is located in the heart of the historic center of Orosei and overlooks the square of Sas Animas. This wine bar is a point of reference for gourmets and lovers of wine and traditional Sardinian products. The selection of wines is entrusted to experienced sommeliers and the dishes offered are skillfully prepared by expert and passionate hands. There is often music playing, which gives the place a lounge-like and somewhat hushed atmosphere. If you are looking for a place to spend a good time in a quiet and light atmosphere, don't go any further.

This recent modern café is a change from the typical Sardinian places. It has a beautiful corner terrace to enjoy a caffè latte in the morning and a drink in the evening. With its designer decoration and its cuisine of fresh products, the continuous service benefits everyone. The small, well-kept menu of gourmet sandwiches and sophisticated salads is very tempting. In the evening, the long liquor menu attracts night owls. They sit down and order platters of cold meats and cheeses to accompany the aperitif. The place is not cheap but the Rafé plays the quality card.

The tour of Piazza Tola, which definitely has all the elements for a good evening, includes a stop at this wine bar. The establishment is so well known and appreciated that it doesn't even have a sign to mark it. The entrance, in one of the corners of the square, is notable for its two large barrels, where when all the tables on the terrace are taken, one ends up leaning over to wait. The place lends itself to a tasting-discovery of Sardinian wines. Planks of cheese and cold meats make it possible not to drink on an empty stomach.

Gastro Garage is a wine cellar, an art studio, a rehearsal room for musicians "driven out of the house" and a collection of comics and old scrapbooks. A cultural wine bar where one drinks delicious cannon while tasting dishes from all over the world reinterpreted with local products. The owners have taken up residence in an old workshop in the historic center and as they say on their website, at their place you taste wine and books... Books from all over the world but local bottles!

Le Florio is the Villanova bar where everyone meets for a drink. Here, you can nibble on original salads where mayonnaise is black garlic, cucumber meets bottarga and cauliflower meets plum. Inspired recipes are created by Old Friend Bar & Bistrot, one of the city's trendiest addresses. Le Florio offers a cutting-edge electro music program. On certain evenings, live concerts and DJ sets are held. The tiny bar is just a pretext for invading the terrace on a pleasant tree-lined square.

A real beach bar restaurant as we like it. Decorated with driftwood and veils, all dressed in wood: this small ship is set close to the waves during the summer months. We like the setting of course, ideal for lovers, but also the simplicity and kindness of Elena, the owner. The Solaria is a place frequented by the locals (just like Porto Paglia), we like to come here in the evening to taste good grilled fish or calamari washed down with vermentino. The idyllic setting is an invitation to let go, to a certain art of living that the locals cultivate.

This very pleasant wine bar offers a friendly atmosphere. It's the place to come for an aperitif or to pick up a bottle to take away. The establishment offers a number of relaxed locations. From the terrace overlooking the street to the veranda or the upstairs terrace: you'll always find a table to slip into. Let us advise you on the best bottles or local beers to accompany a plate of charcuterie and artisan cheeses served with pane guttiau. A DJ regularly accompanies the evenings.

It is not a nightclub, but a trendy bar-lounge that allows you to liven up your evenings. On the edge of the bay of Porto Frailis, the establishment overlooks the sea. It opens for breakfast. Its terrace, set in a well-tended garden, is very popular for aperitifs, as the view is ideal for enjoying the sunset with a cocktail. Concerts and thematic evenings are regularly scheduled.

You'll find all the traditions of an Irish pub on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, away from the lively Piazza Yenne. The menu has more than 70 varieties of beer and an authentic cuisine (meat, fish, snacks...), which can be enjoyed until late, which is rare. The setting respects the codes with its long wooden bar, backlit bottle shelves and high stools. A good atmosphere reigns in this pub frequented by locals and which has a pleasant terrace often full in the evening.

The "INU" is anchored in the night landscape of Cagliari. This trendy wine bar offers a fine Sardinian wine list. You can taste Sardinia's great and lesser vintages, accompanied by boards of the island's best charcuterie and cheese, pies and other gourmet appetizers. The place is especially popular at aperitif time. An address not to be missed! And if you melt for one of the products tasted, you can get it at the boutique. Thursday evening is a musical evening with a live concert.

Su Porteddu is the last trace of civilization before Cala Goloritze. It's a parking lot, a camper van park, a campsite and an excellent bar where there's never a shortage of fresh Ichnusa non filtrata and a few slices of cheese and cold meats. The products on offer are locally sourced and the quantities generous (as is often the case in Sardinia). It's a touristy place, no doubt about it, but all the same, it's a little timeless and a little out of the ordinary. It's also a hangout for climbers and hikers, and the atmosphere reflects this.
