MEC Restaurant
Palermo, Italy
MEC brings an unusual combination of historic architecture, technology collecting and ambitious cooking to Palermo. Within Palazzo Castrone, chef Carmelo Trentacosti’s restaurant shares its identity with a collection associated with Apple’s history. The setting gives dinner a distinctive visual backdrop, while the kitchen works with ingredients connected to the surrounding region. Its address on Via Vittorio Emanuele makes it easy to build an evening around the historic centre, but book the restaurant specifically rather than assuming museum admission includes a meal.
