A wonderful restaurant in Palermo. The restaurant setting with multiple Apple products and Steve Jobs looking at you is an experience. The service is very attentive and the wine absolutely delicious. The food is deserving of their Michelin star. Delightful. If I ever come back to Palermo, I will pay a visit again.

First off, I rarely leave reviews, however my end to end dining experience was so exceptional to the point where I feel compelled to do so! Simply put, the food, the service, the hospitality was simply next level! I own a Boutique Travel Concierge Agency and I' m quite picky all across the board. Found this place to be exceptional on all levels. A hospitality experience that is unforgettable in every way. Do yourself a favour and dine here if you are in Palermo! Just wow!

I can’t say enough about how fantastic Mec is. The setting is beautiful, but above that, the service and the chef were top notch. The service was super attentive and had me smiling the entire time at how I was just able to relax and enjoy my evening. The chef and kitchen produced the most delicious foods, and kept surprising me throughout the experience. Even compared to all of other the Michelin Star restaurants I’ve been to, this has become the one to give me the best experience and memories. I read through the negative reviews, and honestly, unless you’re an unhappy person in life, you will smile like crazy every second you spend here. Thank you so much!!!

I have found this restaurant on Michelin’s website and it is quite a surprise to find out that it is also a museum dedicated to computer science and Jobs. The collections of iPhones, old computers and iPads gives the restaurant a quite chilling atmosphere. The settings of tables in four corners, with the gentle lightening behind each table makes each table, seeing from other tables, a nice picture itself. This restaurant boasts inspirations of Sicilian cooking. The tasting plates provides four snacks with the tastes of four kinds of seafoods, which are quite innovative in the de ce of texture and flavour. Four different kinds of breads are offered: Sicilian wheat sour dough bread, long olive flavour stick, a croissant and a brioche. My favourite is the Sicilian sour dough bread combining the apple icon shaped butter with anchovies. The butter is very tasteful and has a good touch of seafood. The first antipasti made from tomato provides a strong contrast of sweetness and sourness. I like the second antipasti, sea scallop. The texture is very creamy and the fresh and thinly sliced scallop provides a smooth feeling. The pasta, Giro Giro Tondo gives a different perspective of pasta. The pasta itself is neither too hard nor too soft, saving a nice texture of chewiness. The seafoods hidden inside the pastas are quite fresh and tasty. The piece of fish on top tastes a bit of fishy smell, but the rest is good. The main dish is made from chicken breast, which according to the restaurant staff is quite a gamble, as chicken breast is not considered as a food that to be put in main dishes in fine dining. I must say the chef’s technics in cooking a chicken breast into a super tender piece is very high, however, the sauce accompanied the chicken breast tastes a little bizarre. I think there is too much rosemary in the sauce and makes the sauce a little bit bitter. The tacos accompanied with the main dish is crispy outside with sweet corns inside. For the desserts, the jellies are quite refreshing, combining sweet and sour flavour. The four apple icon plates offer desserts that increase in their sweetness. My personal favourite is the one on the red apple, it is not too sweet and has a mild sweetness. On the big plate, mangue chops and sorbets are relatively sour, providing a contrast to sweetness of creamy cake. Generally speaking I enjoyed this evening at MEC, and I like the taste experience it has provided. The staffs are very friendly and elegant.

Food is really good. We had the scallops and the soup as starters, then the risotto and the pasta with oysters and finally the merengue. Everything was delicious, and we appreciated all the amuse-Bouches, pre desert and the cake they gave our friends who were in their honeymoon. The one thing we would change was mainly the room where you eat. The entrance gives you a more intimate vibe, and once you get inside it’s much brighter and less unique - I would change the interior so it matches the exterior  charm.
