Must order: The house lager alongside the grilled beef.
Food program: Grilled meat
Tip: It took a Barcelona Beer Challenge gold for its Tuvixeddu; it sits out by the ring road, so it is a taxi rather than a walk from the Marina.
Address: Via Isaac Newton 24, 09131 Cagliari
Antico Caffè has traded on Piazza Costituzione in Cagliari since 1838, a protected historic room under the Bastione with pastries from 07:00.
Signature drink: Evening aperitivo
Food: Pastries and plates
Order: An espresso and a pastry at the marble counter.
Tip: Italy's culture ministry lists the room as protected; tables outside face the Bastione di Saint Remy and run until 02:00.
Libarium Nostrum drinks on the medieval ramparts of Castello in Cagliari, a terrace over the rooftops serving cocktails, antipasti and thin pizza.
Signature drink: Alligatore, calvados and Drambuie
Food: Antipasti and pizza
Order: The Alligatore, calvados and Drambuie.
Tip: Danilo Argiolas opened it in 1993 and the terrace still fills at sunset; get there before 19:00 for a rampart table.
Spirits Boutique opened on Via Dettori in Cagliari's Marina in December 2021, mixologist Emilio Rocchino's vintage room behind a wall of rum and gin.
Signature drink: Myrtle-led cocktails
Food: Snacks
Order: A cocktail built on Sardinian myrtle or mirto.
Tip: The back bar is the draw, whisky, rum, gin and vermouth from everywhere; it opens from midday and runs late, with snacks rather than a kitchen.
INU Sardinian Wine Bar works Via Sassari in Cagliari as an island-only list, boards of pecorino and salumi built to whatever you are drinking.
Signature drink: Cannonau by the glass
Food: Sardinian boards
Order: Lardo with myrtle on warm bruschetta.
Tip: The boards are customisable, so ask for Sardinian cheeses only and let them pour a Cannonau or a Vermentino against them.
Sabores is a Marina bottega in Cagliari on Via Baylle, Sardinian cheese and cured meat sold by weight and cut into boards for the aperitivo.
Signature drink: Vermentino by the glass
Food: Taglieri
Order: The large tagliere of Sardinian cheese and salumi.
Tip: Two board sizes, small and large, and both come with wine by the glass; the shop shelves are the souvenir run.
Babeuf pairs tea, wine and slow reading on Via Giardini in Cagliari, a small Villanova room of cheese boards, tartare and shelves of magazines.
Signature drink: Natural wine by the glass
Food: Tartare and boards
Order: A tartare and a glass off the natural list.
Tip: It works better as a long early evening than a quick drink; the reading material on the shelves is there to be used.
