Alghero has a lot of “tourist menu’” restaurant but, if you are looking for something unique, cozy and authentic, this is the place. Run by a lovely couple who do everything from sourcing the product from small farms around Sardinia to plating and educating you on their offerings. Their main focus is salumi boards and wine. The smallest board size can serve as an aperitivo or, go for the bigger size for a full dinner. They only have few tables, best to book during high season.

In our opinion, not only is it the best view of the sunset but also has great service. We come here often for aperitivo to enjoy the tasty spritzers and cocktails accompanied by delicious food. Also breakfast and lunch with ocean and old town view is not to be missed. It’s one of the very few places that serves American style breakfast. Staff always friendly and kind.

Hands down the best fish restaurant in town. Charming family-run restaurant, where they serve the freshest catch of the day alongside local wine. Very popular and making a reservation in advance is a must! Set menu with lobster or without.

If you own a car, we highly recommend experiencing the charming concept of agriturismo at least once. Originating from Sardinia, this tradition involves farmer families who passionately produce and serve their own local products. The cost typically ranges from 30 to 40 Euros, offering excellent value for money. For an authentic agriturismo experience, we would personally suggest considering Agriturismo Barbagia, conveniently located near the Alghero airport. They also offer cooking classes and workshops in the farm for kids.

Is a local favorite known for its diverse selection of local dishes and pizzas. Great service, and simple but warm atmosphere. It's open all year round, but during busy seasons, it's best to book in advance to secure a table.

Just the drive there is worth it. 45 km of coast line with an incredible view. Bosa is an old fisherman’s town with small streets, local shops and restaurants. Just outside of Bosa is a natural pool in the rocks called Cane Malu (you will need to hike to get to the pool).
