Decent average breakfast: Restaurant h club @ Sheraton Diana Majestic (24. November 2018)
As every time I am here, the breakfast at the h club is quite decent. You find a bit of everything starting from honey and jam … … to yogurts, milk and cereals … … cheese … … cold cuts … … more cold cuts and salmon … … tomatoes and mozzarella balls … … […]
Great Italian dishes a bit hidden away: Trattoria Trombetta (23. November 2018)
The Trattoria Trombetta is hidden away so a bit tricky to find. Once you’ve found the entrance though, they make sure you’re welcomed in a very comfortable manner. There is a little waiting area until your table is ready and once you’re seated the waiter attends you right away. I went for the “Risotto Milanese […]
Amazing home-made Italian pasta: Ristorante All’ Olivella Wine ‘n’ Dine (10. September 2017)
The All’Olivella is ranked as one of the best restaurants in Palermo and when we got there, at first, I was thinking “what the hell” as it does not look like one of the best restaurants in Palermo. And while my sample is obviously very small, given I’ve only been there for approximately 36 hours, […]
Perfect place for breakfast in a busy street: Ruvolo Beer and Wine (10. September 2017)
What I love about Italy is the fact that you find a lovely café around every corner – and in Palermo there is one long street where kind of everything is going on. So upon walking by various cafés and not finding anything which fit, we finally found the Ruvolo Beer & Wine. Or to […]
Decent bar by the beach with weird rules: Nautoscopio (9. September 2017)
While wandering around in Palermo, we ended up by the beach at some point and there is something like a little club right next to the sea shore where you can sit outside, in the sand, and enjoy your drink there. I went for a “mojito” (EUR 6.00) which was decent in terms of how […]
Great little place for fresh seafood: Osteria Mercede (9. September 2017)
The Osteria Mercede is not only famous on TripAdvisor it is also very punctual (and yes, we’re talking about Italy here), opening exactly at 7pm. The place is quite small with maybe 10-15 tables and is easily booked out. When we arrived, a bunch of people were joining us queuing and only because we had […]
Nice place to be covered from the shade: Il Bar @ La Rinascente (9. September 2017)
When you arrive in Palermo after the 50 years anniversary of your company the previous night in Munich, you feel like sleeping, relaxing, sitting back, and not doing anything. Well, if you are arriving in Palermo meeting your friends from kindergarten, then things usually turn out differently than you had planned – after a “Francesino […]
Outstanding dishes where you wouldn’t expect them: Restaurant Al Pont de Ferr (10. September 2016)
While I was a student in Milan some years ago, I was definitely not aware that the Navigli had fancy restaurants – well, despite the fact that it does not really look much fancy from the outside, the dishes were actually great. After having placed the order, they served a small amuse bouche as a […]
