08/03/2025: Absolutely extraordinary! MEC in Palermo has redefined our expectations of fine dining. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the breathtaking space – a true feast for the eyes. But what truly elevated our experience to a solid 5 stars was their exceptional hospitality and culinary artistry.
Traveling with a 2 and 4-year-old can be challenging, especially when seeking out Michelin-starred restaurants. MEC, however, welcomed our little ones with open arms. Their staff went above and beyond to ensure our children were comfortable and entertained, making us feel completely at ease. This level of attentiveness is rare and truly appreciated.
The culinary journey was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was an explosion of flavor, a testament to the chef's mastery. We were particularly impressed by their willingness to accommodate our request for two different tasting menus – a flexibility they don't usually offer. Every bite was a masterpiece, perfectly showcasing the vibrant flavors of Sicilian cuisine.
MEC truly lives up to its star, and then some. It's not just a restaurant; it's an experience. We left with full hearts and satisfied palates, knowing we had witnessed something truly special. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Palermo, look no further than MEC.
04/01/2025: The place is beautiful, it is located on the first floor of Palazzo Castrone, the connection between museum and food is a winning one. It would already be interesting to be able to see and remember forty years of technology that revolutionized the world and our lives.
Instead we are also given the opportunity to taste the dishes of the extraordinary Carmelo Trentacosti. We chose the vegetarian tasting and did not regret it. From start to finish, an incredible discovery of very fine flavors expertly mixed with the freshest seasonal vegetables and those preserved in the right times and ways, special mention for the preserved caponata with Modica chocolate. The bread and butter are excellent, the fusilloni with truffles are a total dream. Pre dessert dessert and unmissable greetings, a wonderful pastry shop. The wine list is very rich. The rigorous but warm service, we felt welcomed. Nice evening!
