Brunch in Palermo borrows from the cafe and pastry tradition rather than replacing it, so a late morning here can mean coffee, sweets and a light savoury plate. Moltivolti in the Albergheria and Le Angeliche near the Capo market anchor the social end of the scene, while Antico Caffe Spinnato in Politeama and Casa Stagnitta on the Discesa dei Giudici cover the classic caffe approach. Bisso Bistrot on Via Maqueda and FUD Bottega Sicula at Piazza Olivella add room for something heartier.
Moltivolti in Palermo's Ballaro runs a Saturday and Sunday brunch carte that bridges Sicilian and African breakfast traditions, with a buffet of mafe, brik.
