OSTERIA EXPANIFICIO
TERRITORY - FAMILY The original room will remind you that it is actually a former bakery, but in good weather many customers choose to eat outdoors, among the buildings in the center and a few meters from a suggestive belvedere.

As an alternative to lunch, there is also a light menu. - Menu 45€ (lunch), 54/92€ - Carte 45/92 € - Hotel Villa Athena, Archaeological Walk 33 - phone 0922 596288 - Closed at noon

IL RE DI GIRGENTI
TERRITORY - FAMILY If the cuisine does not deviate from the island, in this young and trendy place that dares to play with a very personal look, the wine list goes beyond regional borders to welcome national and foreign labels. The magic of the view on the temples has few equals! - Menu 35€ (lunch), 36/60€ - Carte 25/60 € - via Overview of the Temples 51 - phone 0922 401388 - Closed on Tuesdays

BISTROT The subtitle reads "pizza, cuisine and foodstuffs", and in this restaurant in the center Alessandro Ravanà and his team do not disappoint. So good Neapolitan-style rounds prepared with first-rate ingredients, delicatessen shop and slender and territorial bistro menu, variable and well thought-out motto, in which land and sea mix: a handful of appetizers, three first courses, three second courses. Adequate cellar for the gastronomic proposal and a little hasty but friendly service.
