  • 1. Dal Corsaro

    $$$$

    This elegant but simply furnished Michelin-starred restaurant near the port offers modern and creative Italian haute cuisine on two wide-ranging tasting menus (€120 and €155 per person), consisting of a series of dishes that are only revealed when presented to your table (any food allergies can be communicated beforehand). Dal Corsaro shares its kitchen and chef, Stefano Deidda, with the adjacent Fork, an elegant and modern bistro where you may find such mouthwatering concoctions as smoked mackerel with honey and liver, and cheesecake salad with marinated salmon and citrus, while desserts might include licorice ice cream with a crunchy almond topping. Fork offers five-course tasting menus costing €70 and €75, and has outdoor dining in spring and summer.

  • 2. Antico Caffè

    $$

    The gilded Antico Caffè once served as an intellectual haunt for famous writers like D.H. Lawrence and Grazia Deledda, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1926. With its street-front terrace and polished-wood interior, it has anchored the base of the Bastione di St. Remy since 1855, serving as a social center from breakfast time until well after midnight; the menu features local fish and meat specialties. You can also get pastas, salads, and such desserts as tiramisu and elaborate artisanal gelato coupe concoctions. A granita di caffè con panna is sublimely refreshing on a hot summer afternoon.

  • 3. Caffè Svizzero

    $

    Entering this antique, vaulted bar a stone's throw from the port is like stepping back into the 19th century. Order a steaming cappuccino, a glass of the local vermentino, or a freshly squeezed fruit juice, and nibble on a panino, a pizzetta, or a pastry. It's all served with politeness and heaps of old-fashioned charm. There are tables outside, too.

  • 4. Sa Ide e S'Ollia

    $$

    Take a tour of contemporary Sardinian gastronomy in this trendsetting place that has become a huge hit with the cagliaritani. You can choose between eating à la carte or the small dishes offered on the tasting menus (€27, €32, and €37, including desserts and drinks), which might include such bold pairings as ravioli di cernia con fragole e gamberi (fish ravioli with strawberries and prawns), spezzatino di maiale con le cozze (pork stew with mussels), and cappuccino di seppie in crema di patate e bottarga (cuttlefish with creamed potatoes and mullet roe). The weekday "business lunches" (€9, €10, or €12) are an especially good value. Dishes can be adapted for vegetarians and others with special dietary requirements.

  • 5. Su Cumbidu

    $$

    A meal at this restaurant in Cagliari's lively Marina quarter, near the port, makes for a quick and affordable introduction to Sardinia's rural cuisine. Dishes can be ordered as part of a fixed-price meal or separately, and portions are large, so go easy on antipasti to leave room for main courses of lamb, sausage, and the famous Sardinian maialetto (roast suckling pig, aka porcheddu). Service is brisk and informal; choose a table on the street or within the brick-vaulted interior. The same family runs a similar restaurant nearby on Via Baylle, Sa Schironada, that concentrates on the island's sea-based gastronomy.
