MINT Cucina Fresca

Top choice in Polignano a Mare


Offering a fresher, lighter and often vegetarian alternative in Polignano a Mare, MINT's concise menu focuses on a few dishes done very well. Highlights include a tasty chickpea burger enlivened with avocado cream, while baked eggs are served with fresh ricotta cheese and smoked paprika. Fresh tuna is the star of a few dishes, but the focus amid MINT's stylish and cosy dining room is mainly on vegetarian flavours.
