Absolutely delicious!

Tenerumi is an incredible vegan/vegetarian restaurant on the coast of volcano island, part of Aeolian islands in Sicily. One of the Kenny two Michelin-starred vegan restaurants in Italy (the other one is Gioia in Milan) the location is spectacular and so is the food. It’s fine dining, many varied and delicious courses were brought to us during the meal and the chef sits down and explains every dish. Most of the ingredients are grown in their allotment, their water is purified form the sea so it’s also a very eco-friendly restaurant . The menu can be made vegan upon request but there were only 2 dishes out of more than 15 that needed slight alteration to be vegan . The mushroom dish and the brioche for dessert were some of the tastiest food I’ve ever had. My boyfriend proposed to me that night so it was an incredible evening all around. I wish there were more restaurants like this in the world championing high- end whole foods vegan cuisine Italian-style!

Pros: Varied courses , Stunning location , Zero km meal

Porzioni rificole e prezzi alti

Le porzioni sono ridicole
Unico pro è che è l'unico locale vegano/vegetariano delle isole Eolie

Pros: Bella presentazione , Bel posto

Cons: Porzioni rificole, Prezzi alti

Ristorante Tenerumi

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! The food, the ambiance, the views, the music... I felt like I was being featured on an episode of a reality TV show (like The Bachelor). Words cannot even describe how incredible my experience was. It was better than any Michelin Star restaurant experience I've been to (including the three star I had recently been to).

First, be sure to make a reservation, as they ***only serve four tables*** each night and be sure to specify vegan so they can prepare since this is a vegetarian restaurant. The tables are outside along a cliff overlooking the sea, where you also have a view of Lipari, Pecorini, Salina, and Alicudi in the distance. The added touch of a lounge singer was a lovely touch, especially since she beautifully covered Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (similar to Tori Amos' cover) then later played "Time" from Inception. They must have gotten the memo I was dining there that night!!!

We were served a wonderful 10 course meal with the chef delivering each dish and sitting down at the table to describe them to us. Each was unique, clever, and delicious. Each course was served with a drink, majority of which were non-alcoholic...which is nice because it's very easy to accidentally go overboard with alcoholic pairings over such a long meal. The flavors and presentation were amazing. (I did forget to take a photo of the large mushroom dish, my partner loved that one.)

***** Please note that there is a Michelin Star restaurant on site at this resort so I'm pretty sure they are involved in all the food recipes (and possibly the prep). Every food item I had at each restaurant at the resort was A+++ and they always made special accomodations for me. They even packed a vegan lunch for me (without me even asking) when a boat tour I was taking wouldn't offer a vegan meal.

***** Staying on another island or on Sicily main island? Just take a ferry over to Volcano, they are inexpensive and easy. The resort has a free shuttle that will take you directly to the resort. The shuttle runs every hour until very late and it aligns with the ferry schedule.
