La Lepanto

A feast of fish — see the lobster tank as you walk in — all priced by the l’etto (100g). The restaurant is located in the old city, with a fantastic view of the sea. Don’t forget to try the Tiramisu; it is one of the best on the island.

Dining

Famed for its rock lobsters, Alghero is a treat for lovers of fresh fish and seafood, and its Catalan-Italian mix makes for some excellent and unusual dishes. Salami and pecorino (sheep milk cheese) are produced locally. Malloreddus, with sausage and tomato sauce, is the standard Sardinian pasta dish. Local honey appears on most desserts. Try gattò, made from almonds, honey and orange peel. The local red and white wines are excellent, too.
