Vittorio
If you’ve got a car, this is one detour you absolutely shouldn’t miss. In business for over 40 years, Vittorio has earned a reputation as one of Sicily’s best seafood eateries, serving hefty portions of the freshest fish and shellfish around. Come here at sunset and dine to the sound of crashing breakers. It’s right on the beach in Porto Palo, a 15km drive east of Selinunte. Rooms are available upstairs for anyone too stuffed to drive home (single/double €60/80).

Il Déhors
The restaurant of the Foresteria Baglio della Luna takes its lead from the monsù cooking of the 1800s when French influences began to reach the Sicilian dinner table. The menu includes sole, lobster and meats such as pheasant, lamb and kid. There are delicious pâtés and plenty of buttery sauces. Excellent.

La Fontana
Right opposite the fountain on the little piazza, this little restaurant is run by an eccentric older couple who've decorated the place in a mixture of kitsch and art nouveau. Mostly frequented by tourists, it's friendly and the food is straightforward Sicilian fare. It has outdoor seating on the piazza in summer.

Le Caprice
Le Caprice, long one of Agrigento's better restaurants, has a garden location complete with pool and swans. It is renowned for its seafood and the mixed seafood grill is certainly worth its reputation. A glass of the local white is perfect on a hot summer evening.

Trattoria Concordia
Tucked up a side alley, this rustic trattoria with exposed stone and stucco walls specialises in grilled fish along with traditional Sicilian primi like casarecce con pesce spada, melanzane e menta (pasta with swordfish, eggplant and mint).

Leon d’Oro
An excellent restaurant that warrants its high prices and perfectly mixes the fish and fowl that typify Agrigento cuisine. Try the coniglio in agrodolce (rabbit in a sweet sauce) or the triglia e macco di fave (mullet with broad beans).

Kokalos
If you have a car, head for this trattoria/pizzeria, on the road to San Leone, where they dish up the area's best pizza. They also serve the local cavatelli (a type of homemade pasta). The views of the Temple of Concord are impressive too.

Da Giovanni
A reliable option with piazza seating, smooth service, classic Sicilian dishes and mind-blowing cassata(sponge cake with ricotta and fruit). It gets quite busy on Saturday evenings, when bookings are a must.

This Slow Food-acclaimed eatery is famous for its pork ragú, an ancient mountain staple served only in winter; no worries if you’re visiting in summer: the menu features other fine local recipes year-round.

Kalòs
This is a top-end restaurant serving quality cuisine close to the centre of town. The whopping service charge of 20% is a bit steep, especially when the place can feel a little funereal early in the evening.

This is a good café/restaurant popular with locals for a morning coffee, and the best eatery near the temples away from the madding crowds. There is also a pleasant rooftop terrace.

Le Cuspidi
This fabulous gelateria is the perfect antidote to Agrigento’s oppressive heat. Especially scrumptious is the pistachio, flecked with nuts and oh so creamy.
