The best restaurants Cefalu

The tables are set on the lawn, overlooking the illuminated bay at night. Palermo chef Nunzio Tomasello offers a wonderful platter of "crudi" and two daring menus: "Cala Luna", featuring seafood, and "La Rocca", with meats and the finest ingredients from Sicily. The typical Sicilian baccala a sfincione is revisited, the spaghetti a la "Norma 2.0" is accompanied by smoked eggplant, ricotta, almonds and sautéed tomatoes. To finish, the pistachio parfait is divine. Beautiful gastronomic table.

A rustic place inside and magical outside since you can eat on the terrace, in front of the beautiful cathedral of Cefalu: you can't find a better view. The terrace is often crowded, and for good reason! All summer long, a piano is installed there and the artist who plays there every day comes back to the great classics of Italian music. We enjoy this acoustic musical atmosphere. On the plate, we recommend the house speciality: the fish carpaccio (a real delight).

In this small air-conditioned restaurant, rich in colors and atmosphere with its beautiful stone vaults and red walls, one sits down willingly to spend a good culinary moment at an affordable price. The menu is limited but effective, we like the concept of the chosen menus: meat or fish, declined according to the season and the local ingredients, as the rabbit in the oven, the home-made tournedos or theinvoltini of swordfish, a delight. The recipes are simple but tasty, that's the main thing. The wine list is also very Sicilian and harmonizes the tastes.

A very good address with a very large terrace overlooking the sea. The map is rich in local specialities (mainly fish). Ideal for a romantic and chic dinner at sunset.

According to the locals, it is one of the best trattorias in Cefalù. In fact, the restaurant is always full and it is better to make a reservation, especially for dinner. The setting is rather chic, just like the plate. The octopus salad with asparagus sauce as a starter, the plate of "crudi", seafood in carpaccio and tartar, will whet your appetite. The fresh pasta is marvellous, well prepared, and the swordfish rolls succulent. We love the attentive service and the Sicilian family atmosphere.

A restaurant, a brasserie type very close to the sea. Good service and excellent dishes. Ideal for quick snacks or pizza.

Nice restaurant with a nice terrace overlooking the sea and offering a magnificent view on the bay. We already like this setting for a good lunch or dinner. Of course, with such a proximity to the elements, we expect fresh and tasty fish specialities and grilled shellfish. And we were not disappointed! We loved the traditional spaghetti with clams and zucchini, but also the demonic scialatelliwith red prawns from Mazara (in Sicily), and even more the local almond parfait.

Impeccable service, abundant dishes despite the refinement of the kitchen and reasonable prices make it a valuable place. You can dine in the alley without too much meeting the groups that are walking through these gentle nights. Everyone says it: It is certainly the best restaurant in Cefalù.

We note the neat, modern and retro aspect of the place. Here, you can get your fill for a few euros. Because Giuseppe and Mimma (the boss) don't ask you more than that for a glass of wine, olives, cheese and a plate with 10 bruschette . We also love the lasagne of the nonna, home-made recipe. Or, if you want to have a picnic at the beach or on the Rocca, opt for a sandwich stuffed with all the local delicacies. And if you like good wine, you can choose a bottle to take away.
