Ballarak on Piazza Magione in Palermo's Kalsa is the city's first craft brewery and brewpub since 2016, sfincione-style pizza and Suino Nero burgers paired.
Try: Sfincione-style pizza, Suino Nero burger
Tip: Piazza tables are the best summer seats. The tap list rotates monthly; ask which beer is freshest.
Pani Ca' Meusa Porta Carbone on Via Cala by Palermo's port has fried spleen, lung and trachea sandwiches in lard since 1943; the city's canonical pane ca'.
Try: Pane ca' meusa (spleen sandwich)
Tip: Order maritato (with caciocavallo and ricotta) for the milder version. Cash only; pair with a Messina beer.
Friggitoria Chiluzzo on Piazza Kalsa in Palermo is the canonical panelle counter, four-euro chickpea-fritter-and-crocche sandwiches eaten standing.
Try: Panelle e crocche (chickpea fritters and potato croquettes)
Tip: Cash only. The panelle e crocche sandwich is the order; eat on the church steps opposite.

Try: Pane con la milza, vastedda al lardo
Tip: Maritato (with caciocavallo and ricotta) is the gateway; ask for la vastedda al lardo if you want the bread alone.
Antica Focacceria San Francesco in Palermo since 1834 is the sit-down street food room, canonical pane ca' meusa, sfincione, panelle and the largest carte.
Try: Pane ca' meusa, sfincione, panelle

Ke Palle on Via Maqueda in Palermo's historic centre is the city's flagship arancineria, 20-plus daily flavours fried to order, vegan and vegetarian options.
Try: Arancina (Palermitan rice ball)
Tip: Arancina classica (meat) and porcini are the most-ordered; the pistachio is the after-dinner sleeper.
