This restaurant is my home base in Palermo. I try to eat with my tour group as much as possible, but as a gluten-sensitive human, I end up getting “glutened” every two to three days. I then retreat to fully gluten-free places like Sintaxis to recuperate. I actually can’t remember how many times I ate here. I did not photograph my food at all which is a pity.
Last visit, in 2016, Sintaxis was more expensive than surrounding restaurant but with the current economic crisis, I found that prices had equalized for the most part. Palermo is expensive compared to Congreso or Almagro, but gluten-free was no longer much more expensive. All of my meals there were under $10/person, but I also did not eat big entrees there. The most expensive meal listed on the menu would have cost me about $15 for a full dinner.
This visit, I ate breakfast, lunch, dinner and had coffee breaks at Sintaxis. My companions were all gluten-tolerant, and still enjoyed the food. The main comment was that they would not have known the food was gluten-free if I had not told them. I got to indulge in empanadas, bread, toasted sandwiches, pastries, salads and desserts; as well as coffee and the ever-present mint lemonade.
Look for the blue building!
