Dove mangiare ad Agrigento: i migliori ristoranti
Val la pena accomodarsi solo per la vista meravigliosa che si gode dal piccolo dehors su strada, ma anche per il bellissimo progetto di integrazione alla base del lavoro della cooperativa Al Kharub e della chef di origini senegalesi Mareme Cissè (quest’estate vittima di uno spiacevole episodio di razzismo). Materie prime di assoluta qualità – a partire dalla degustazione di formaggi di capra girgentana – entrano in piatti stagionali, ricchi di contaminazioni tra la cucina siciliana e quella senegalese.

Where to eat in Agrigento: the best restaurants
It is worth taking a seat just for the wonderful view from the small outdoor seating area on the street, but also for the beautiful integration project behind the work of the Al Kharub cooperative and the chef of Senegalese origin Mareme Cisse (this summer victim of an unpleasant experience of racism). Ingredients of the highest quality - starting with a tasting of Girgentan goat cheese - join seasonal dishes, rich in cross pollinations amid Sicilian and Senegalese cuisine.
