leave a comment »

Perugia (#IJF17)
From Wednesday (April 3, 2019) until Sunday (April 7), beautiful Perugia hosts the free International Journalism Festival for the 13th time. You’ll get all the basic infos here:

I prepared a map with all the festival locations and added my personal restaurant and bar recommendations which I collected since 2016. With the slider in the upper left corner, you can have a look at the list of entries:


Restaurants

Al Mangiar Bene ***** of ***** (Slow food recommendation)
Via Della Luna 21
06121 Perugia
Tel. +39 075 5731047
In 2016, this was my favorite restaurant in Perugia. They use organic ingredients, their menu changes with the seasons.

Dal Mi‘ Cocco *****
Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi, 12
06123 Perugia
Tel. +39 075 573 2511
Most brilliant price-performance ratio. I checked out the place with a vegetarian colleague from Pakistan last year. Despite the low price they were willing to make changes to the fixed menu.

Antica Salumeria Granieri Amato ****
Piazza Matteotti Chiosco
06100 Perugia
Tel. +39 075 8707258
This brilliant street food stand probably offers one of the best deals in town: A sandwich with delicious porchetta is just 3 or 4 euros.

La Bottega di Perugia ****
Piazza Francesco Morlacchi 4

Societa Anonima ****
Via Bartolo, 25
06122 Perugia
Tel. +39 075 572 1899
This place opened shortly before #IJF17. A mother/daughter couple whom I met at Caffe Dal Perugino (see below) recommended it to me and talked the team into finding space for me although the restaurant was fully packed.

Dempsey’s Perugia ****
Piazza Danti 19

Noisy and crowded, lots of expats. Although the cocktails are inexpensive (e. g., 4 euros for a margarita), the bartenders take pride in their job.
