Falstaff Steakhouse — Restaurant in Palermo

After a month of eating (even the freshest and most amazing) seafood in Greece, I was craving a nice juicy steak. The restaurant is in the middle of Palermo’s city center. I picked it because it was walking distance from my hotel. Arrived around 7pm when the restaurant just opened so we were the 1st patrons. In Italy & most of Europe, dinner is eaten later. Had the charcuterie platter to start. Beautifully arranged with many different types of meats, cheeses, fruits and jams. Delicious!

The waiter recommended an Australian Ribeye. So we shared a 16 oz, medium rare. It was cooked perfectly & melt in your mouth fantastic! Could be considered a pricey meal for some, but worth every penny.

Washed it all down with my custom creation of an Aperol & Campari mix spritz, that I have been drinking every day and everywhere in Italy....

Falstaff was so good we went twice, and we were only in Palermo for three nights. It’s hard to get good meat in southern Italy. We live in Bari, and wish we had a Falstaff here.

We have eaten meat all over the world, from Argentina to Poland and from Germany to Australia and Falstaff Steakhouse has it all and beter! Beter because they only use the best quality meat possible and serve it, as masters!

Take all this from above and combine it with super friendly owner, who can tell you everything and anything about: of course meat, but also about Palermo and probably about anything else aswell, that is how pro and friendly he is!

Thank you Fallstaff for the amazing meat, great, great side dishes and such warm welcome in your restaurant. A night with my misses I will never forget!

We wish you all the best and if we come back to Palermo you are the first we visit and so should...
