Brindisi

With its unbeatable views over the harbour and great value meals, Betty is a cafe/restaurant popular among both tourists and locals. The establishment offers a selection of freshly baked stuffed pastries — both sweet and savoury — as well as other dish options.

Olympia is a longstanding local establishment, which has seen several generations of Brindisi locals walk into its doors for a scoop of their special gelato or a cup of hot coffee. There is a bakery on-site. Seatings in- and outdoors on the terrace are available.

A pleasant venue not far from the seaside, La Capannina is the right place for an evening "aperitivo" — a drink that often precedes meals — or a short coffee break during the daytime. Serves light foods and pastries. The airy outdoor seating area is favoured by locals.

The establishment's quirky interior features a jukebox, a bicycle hanging down from the ceiling, a tiny vintage car, and multiple items made from recycled materials — including makeshift chairs and other pieces of decor. Serves sandwiches and coffee at incredibly affordable prices.

From the moment you enter this bar, you immerse yourself in a unique atmosphere. The cafe welcomes you in a sophisticated room consisting of a large multifaceted counter, hosts breakfasts and aperitifs by day and by night. The location is divided in three different spaces: the relaxation room, the bistrot-restaurant and the lovely terrace, characterised by a charming landscape of Ostuni and its Historical Centre.

Peddy Bar combines features of a bar and dessert shop — known primarily for its ice creams, desserts and freshly baked croissants, the bar has an open-air veranda in the back, where guests are welcome to stay until late in the night.
