Niu

With its stone corbels, arches, and vaulted ceilings, the former convent of San Francesco di Stampace in Cagliari provides a unique and engaging setting for contemporary Sardinian dining.

The atmosphere at Niu is informal and friendly, combining a chic cocktail bar and a highly regarded restaurant serving a menu of classic Sardinian specialities with a modern touch, making it a good choice if you are visiting Cagliari on a Sardinia yacht charter vacation.

Niu is the perfect place to sample a range of typically Sardinian dishes, with a selection of both meat and seafood courses on the menu, while the restaurant also hosts regular live folk music shows and other events.

Seafood lovers will be spoilt for choice at Niu, with a generous selection of local fish and shellfish fresh from the waters of the Mediterranean. Sardinian specialities worth trying include culurgiones di mare - a kind of large ravioli stuffed with sea bream and citrus fruits - the grilled lobster and fregola ai frutti di mare, a homemade pasta served with clams and prawns.

On the meat menu, roasted suckling pig, known locally as 'porcheddu', is the star of the show, while other standouts include beef fillet cooked in Cannonau wine and roast duck.

There are also vegetarian dishes, including culurgiones di clorofilla, pasta parcels made from chlorophyll-infused dough stuffed with vegetables. For dessert, try the homemade seadas, traditional fried pastries filled with cheese and drizzled with honey.
