Flavours

THE FLAVOURS OF THE CORTE

From breakfast to dinner, goodness lies in simplicity.

Food is nurture and life, care and attention, company and communication.

Due to its centuries of different European domination, Sicily has a unique cuisine: all the cultures have been fused and mixed giving birth to delicious flavours that we can offer you in every moment of your holiday: from breakfast in the morning to lunch and brunch to evening dinners.

A great cuisine with its good food magically creates an intimate and convivial moment, nourishing not only our bodies but also our spirits and minds!

BREAKFAST

Breakfast is served in the old Palmento. Guests can enjoy it in our patio with the amazing view of the sea and of the Vendicari Reserve or inside the Palmento, during the hotter days.
Cakes and jam tarts are made by our Chefs with locally produced flours and are served with croissants, pastries, locally made and home made jams, according to seasonal fruits. From October to June, orange juice comes from our citrus groves while from May to October we serve almond milk and almond and lemon Sicilian granitas.

Continental breakfast

We also serve cold cuts, cheese, eggs, yoghurt, muesli, fruit juices and artisan biscuits together with more traditional products as olives, dried tomatoes, savoury pies, fresh fruits and fruit salads. On a rotating basis we will also serve typical sweets, local cheese, fresh or baked ricotta, orange salad and “pane condito”, a seasoned handmade bread.

LE MUSE

THE PRODUCTS OF OUR LAND

The products of our land, the pleasure of farm to table food.
The ancient Masseria La Corte del Sole wants to keep alive soul and the identity of the place, its history, and its traditions linked to country life.

For this reason, for some time we have begun cultivating a vegetable garden so to produce genuine vegetables without the use of chemical fertilizers, fertilized by the generous sun of the South and by the breeze from the Vendicari reserve.
A 20 hectares estate that streches until the border of the Vendicari Reserve.Le Muse Restaurant is constantly evolving: the search for raw products cooked every morning by our chefs, our organic and spices garden, the choice of recipes to create menus related to tradition, are proposed in a creative way so that all five senses can enjoy the most ancient and important flavors known to men.

Dishes are prepared by choosing pasta made with Sicilian antique grains, the best rice, organic extra virgin olive oil of La Corte del Sole, and other well-known Slow Food products.

Our chefs collect daily fruit and vegetables in our organic vegetable garden and use those products in their creative dishes, adding flavours with herbs from our garden.
Home made jams and orange juices from our groves make our breakfast fresh everyday.

THE HERB GARDEN

The ancient Masseria La Corte del Sole wants to keep alive soul and the identity of the place, its history, and its traditions linked to country life.

For this reason, for some time we have begun cultivating a vegetable garden so to produce genuine vegetables without the use of chemical fertilizers, fertilized by the generous sun of the South and by the breeze from the Vendicari reserve.

THE AROMI GARDEN

Set at the entrance of La Corte del Sole, the herb garden welcomes our guests with its intense aromas and colours.
Mixing elements of the rural landscape and of the local culture, this garden is a maze of dry walls where many different species of wild herbs perfume the air and are the perfect match to our typical cuisine.
Every dish in our restaurant is seasoned with our herbs, collected daily by our chefs.

THE OLIVE GROVE

The masseria is enclosed by 300 olive trees with some very old trees of the rare “saraceno” variety, giving us the fine olive oil used in our restaurant.

THE CITRUS GROVE

Sicily is the land of citruses: the oranges and lemons from our organic gardens will bring the atmosphere, the scents, the flavours and the colours of our island to your holiday.

THE WINE CELLAR

The best wines from the Val di Noto and from Sicily are part of our wine list, from the well-known Nero d’Avola and Sirah to the dessert and meditation wines such as Moscato di Noto and Passito di Pantelleria.
On request, it is possible to visit our wine cellar full of that charming atmosphere of the past.
It is also possible to taste different craft beers produced locally.
We also organize wine tastings with the best wineries of this territory.
