Breakfast at Pollicastro Boutique Hotel is a special moment, the best awakening one could wish for.
The menu varies according to the season. In certain times of the year, you can discover an extraordinary variety of sweet and savory culinary creations presented in a buffet style.
Here, culinary creativity blends with the authenticity of local products and international influences, ensuring an exceptional experience.
In other times of the year, instead, breakfast is offered with a special gourmet formula: four tasting menus featuring specialties from Salento, Puglia, Greek influences and healthy options.
The Salentino degustation menu is a dip into the tradition of the local flavours. A selection of typical sweet and savoury products of Salento. From 'pasticciotto' to 'rustico' known all around the world, from the brioche with raisins to the tasty fresh ricotta cheese with sesame seeds and honey. The typical 'Caffè Leccese', espresso on ice with almond syrup, cannot be missed, is a must-try during your stay in the city.
The Griko degustation menu, where Salento meets the tastes of the Hellenic tradition. Led by Anna, a key figure for our hotel, of Greek origin but “Salentina” in the heart after years of living in Salento. The breakfast becomes a journey between Salento and Greece, in a real explosion of tastes and smells. Here, the 'Bugazza', Greek sweet made of phyllo pastry, semolina custard and cinnamon meets the Spanakòpita, crusty focaccia with feta cheese and spinach, and the Fanuropita with raisins and cinnamon. The Chef suggests the 'Kagianàs, scrumbled eggs with fresh tomato with feta cheese and basil on a toasted bread.
The authenticity of Greece is fully enjoyed with a 'Cold Espresso' or 'Cold cappuccino'.
The Pugliese degustation menu will delight you with whole grain croissants filled with Martina Franca capocollo ham, cheese and fresh Apulian dairy products, with special breads and dried fruits, cakes with walnuts and cinnamon and seasonal fresh fruits.
The Healthy degustation menu: if you do not want to give up on your healthy habits while on holiday, you can stay light with flavor. It includes carrot cake, whipped egg white with julienne courgettes on toasted brioche bread, homemade oat bars with dark chocolate and peanut butter, multigrain sandwich with honey turkey breast, salad and tomato and whole flour pancakes with red fruits and maple syrup. All accompanied by fresh squeezed orange juice or fresh fruit extract.
This and much more to turn the most important moment of the day into the dream breakfast!
