In palermo city, you can find a lot of restaurants of quality. Gadir is not only one of them. It has something special, very difficult to define. A mixture of several cooking skills combined with a touch of innovation gives to the dishes, even the simplest ones a special savor. The discussions with Le Chef on the menu allowed us... More

Ristorante Gadir is an oasis in a rather squalid area of Palermo. Modern chic decor, courteous service and interesting menu with specialities from Pantelleria. Make sure you try the cassata for dessert.

After a visit to the church of the Spasimo, we went to Gadir. The atmosphere made me think I was in for an "expensive" dinner, but I decided to stay anyways. For starters we had "Crostini ai Ricci" (Oven baked slices of bread with beautifully seasoned sea-urchins) and "Tartara di Tonno" (Tuna tartar with some thinly sliced red onion and... More

we had excellent dinner in a group of people, the food we got was delicious, friendly service included. The Sicilian wine was so good that I treid both white and red wine. This restaurant is definitely a good choice!

We were very disappointed with our trip to Gadir. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very comfortable to sit in. However we didn't find the food or the service of a similar standard. My starter was lovely, a mixed traditional antipasto plate. We also had a nice wine. However we found it very difficult to get a chance to enjoy... More

Easily the best meal we had in Palermo, this restaurant is well worth searching out. Despite being in a poor part of town, everything about it is first class. 3 course meal, including wine and water, for two, €95 in Oct 2011. Beautiful mixed starter, lovely mushroom pasta and a gorgeous panacotta to finish. Highly recommended.

Had an amazing dinner. Was just a 2 min walk from our place. I ordered the fois gras and steak and my husband a pasta and swordfish. I informed the waitress that I was allergic to gluten and she recommended another choice the seafood salad, it was fantastic. Our Sicilian wine, which they have a great selection of, was great....

Gadir is next to Maria dello Spassimo, a marvelous destroyed church that hosts jazz concerts. it goes well with the location. It has something rustic, misterious, an old knowledge, completeness, unexplainable details in the food. As I remember Alessandro is an art historian, so as he has touch for beauty in art so does he for food, as well as... More

I had the opportunity to appreciate the Gadir four times now. Everytime I found a new dish, based on the freshest available fish on the market and every time was a pleasant experience. I prefer to have lunch at Gadir, to have a look at the Spasimo Church but last night we had a nice experience too, since the square... More
