Sandri

Perugia


Perugia's most celebrated cafe, this city institution has been serving coffee and cake since 1860. Its delicately frescoed, chandelier-lit interior provides the perfect backdrop for exquisite-looking pastries, chocolates and cakes, enticingly presented in floor-to-ceiling cabinets. Specialities include delicate pink macarons (€7.50 for 10) and decadent chocolate postcards (€8.50).
