Resting on a picturesque plateau overlooking crystal clear Mediterranean seas below, sits ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA. A beautifully constructed contemporary resort offering guests an enchanting island escape. Here, the experiences, activities and the gourmet cuisine are led by the seasons and the breathtaking countryside location.
At the heart of the resort is an architecturally inspired restaurant where guests can enjoy mouth-watering Sicilian specialities while overlooking the land and sea where the ingredients are grown and gathered. An authentic dining experience, guests can truly connect to the land around them, here, menus are designed to celebrate this unique coastal location and its abundant natural harvest.
Vegetables are grown in the resort’s own organic kitchen gardens or supplied by local farmers. Each ingredient has its own flavour or delicate perfume, for example, in the Caprese salad a mix of tomatoes are used. Pachino for their sweetness, while Kamarina tomatoes offer a more saline taste as they grow closer to the sea.
Being a coastal resort, ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA celebrates the cuisine of the sea and guests can sample exceptional seafood menus. The daily catch is inspected by the chefs and the very finest fish selected for the restaurant and osteria. Ingredients are treated with respect, and menus reflect the purity and simplicity of the seasons.
A classic example is the home-made Paccheri pasta served with fresh anchovies, tomatoes, and clams. Stone ground flour from the nearby wheat farm, tomatoes picked that day from the resort’s organic garden, the freshest fish and clams delivered daily by the local fishermen. Simple and flavoursome, yet, when combined with consciousness and care these products become something truly exceptional and wholly Sicilian.
Chef Guiseppe explains the importance of food heritage “I chose our suppliers one by one, picking from small local businesses and farms to make sure that all the ingredients are local, fresh and authentic. For example, we use raw wild honey from the Sicilian black bee, pork from the Nebrodi piglet, milk from the renowned Girgentana goat, Villalba lentils as well as ancient Sicilian grains such as Perciasacchi, which we use for our fresh homemade pasta.”
ADLER Spa Resort SICILIA is an authentic gourmet destination, where guests can indulge in the pleasures of the spa and wellness facilities while also enjoying seasonal organic cuisine that naturally feeds the mind, body and soul.
