At the 'Sicilian Embassy', they
do everything they can to improve foreign relations, plying tourists with tasty plates of
traditional Sicilian fare and good seafood. Order an octopus and it arrives so fresh it feels
as if it's staring you in the eyes. Try to get a table on the small outdoor terrace, which has
splendid views.

Via Cesare Battisti 8; Tue-Sun)
A great place to hang out
among young
agrigentini,
this trendy spot just off Via Atenea bills itself as an 'Outfit,
Restaurant, Bar', but it does 'bar' best, with good, themed
aperitivi
and late-night cock-
tails. There's a nice-looking restaurant upstairs and a fixed-menu lunch (€10), although
food is only average.
