It’s easy to eat well in Palermo. However, those who venture into the courtyards, gardens and side streets will be rewarded with particularly creative specialties and surprising stories.
A restaurant as a way to freedom for ex-convicts, as an integration center for refugees, a monastery that seduces with sweets? Such surprises are typical for Palermo, but you can hardly get lost in culinary terms in Sicily’s capital anyway. Hit the road to the left or right of the Quattro Canti square, the pizza won’t disappoint – like the parmigiana topped with aubergines. And you can also rely on the crispy-sweet Cannolo pastry roll in the nearest bar. Nevertheless, and precisely because of this, it is worth looking for special, hidden bars.
