Otto Breakfast & Grill

Located right on Palermo’s vibrant Via Maqueda, Otto Breakfast & Grill is a culinary gem that perfectly captures the heart of Italian-meets-Western breakfast and grill culture. This restaurant excels in offering an enticing fusion of classic flavors with fresh, high-quality ingredients, designed for those seeking both comfort and a touch of elegance in their morning or midday meals.

Otto Breakfast & Grill’s menu is a celebration of thoughtfully curated dishes that range from wholesome fruit beginnings to sophisticated starters. Imagine starting your day with the Fruit Bowl Yogurt Greco BIO — a refreshing medley of fresh seasonal fruits combined with creamy organic Greek yogurt and crunchy BIO muesli, delivering a perfect balance of sweetness and texture for just €9.00. For those who prefer lighter options, the Insalata Di Frutta at €6.00 offers a simple yet vibrant burst of juicy freshness.

For guests who crave savory delights, the restaurant’s antipasti are showstoppers. Take the Tartare Di Tonno Rosso, where exquisitely fresh red tuna is elevated by toasted pine nuts, fragrant mint, and the subtle sweetness of chestnut honey — all finished with premium Maldon salt flakes and extra virgin olive oil. At €17.90, it’s a dish that’s as visually striking as it is mouthwateringly flavorful. Meanwhile, the Tacos Piemonte and Tacos Messico offer a unique twist on traditional tartare and grilled Fassona beef, layered with luxurious Parmigiano Reggiano fondue or creamy guacamole and a hint of chili — priced at €11.90 for two pieces, these are true indulgences in every bite.

Accompanying sides like the golden, crispy Patate Fritte or the earthy, buttery Funghi Porcini Saltati create the perfect harmony on the plate, ensuring every meal feels complete and satisfying. The atmosphere at Otto Breakfast & Grill is equally compelling — elegant yet inviting, with an upbeat vibe reflecting the bustling tourist corridor it inhabits. Despite its central location, diners consistently praise the attentive, warm service, making every visit feel personal and well cared for.

Whether you’re indulging in fluffy, light pancakes topped with fresh blueberries or savoring perfectly cooked eggs on toast with savory bacon or ham, the quality and flavor speak for themselves. Regulars appreciate the range of coffee drinks, pairing a robust espresso or smooth American coffee perfectly with their meal.
