Where to eat European food in Corsica: The Best Restaurants and Bars

October 27, 2019 Jana Sager

Find out what European restaurants to try in Corsica. Corsica is a laid-back French island, with a breezy vibe that’s part European weekend and part tropical honeymoon. The port city of Bastia flings its arms wide open to weary travelers disembarking from a long ferry trip. For a truly charming Corsican experience, catch a train through the mountains to the beach, passing by rustic villages and grazing cows along the way. Take a few hours or even a few weeks to explore the island’s famous walking trails, including the varsity-level GR 20.

We found this restaurant while staying in nearby talasani - it is high in the mountains with a terrace affording spectacular views of the distant coastline and the isle of monte christo.Food - well this was as good as the view. We had a shared octopus salad starter which was well presented and sufficient for two. It was tasty and well presented. Our mains were a local veal steak with a herb butter, it was first class and cooked well. The flavours were delicate and subtle. The other main was a homemade ribbon pasta with local charcuterie called lonzo and corpse mushrooms. Again very good.Overall the food was as good as the view and if visiting this beautiful area make sure you visit this restaurant. Our only regret was that we were flying home and didn't get the chance to try another meal!

Stopped for lunch on this magnificent restaurant located along the mountain road. Brilliant service, having to get gluten-free food, they helped us find options. Though not totally gluten-free, they had options with only traces of gluten. Fantastic food, and incredible view! Really recommended!

Great views, lovely food and good local wine. It’s at the back of a deli. We shared a large platter. It was beautiful as was the local Calvi wine. I gorged on the cafe gourmand. We were there on a a Thursday. You can’t reserve and we were advised to arrive at 7pm but in fact, on this night it was never full. Goodness knows why!

Le Bistrot Gourmand

Reviewed By 461clarej

In Ajaccio for 7 nights we were left disappointed by our first 3 dinners in various restaurants (Roi de Rome, L’Altru Versu, and St Pierre) but then came Le Bistrot Gourmand. Everything we’d been looking for.Beautiful freshly cooked food, charming service including a lovely explanation of the blackboard menu, a surprise amuse bouche, the best wine of the trip so far, and to top it off an amazing value for money set price for 3 courses (think it was 39 Euros but would have happily paid 49). My caprese type salad starter was the best I’ve ever had, and my husband’s pork tart really knocked his socks off. The fillet steaks 10 out of 10 accompanied by delicious sauté potatoes, and the chocolate fondant for afters, wow!It was all so impressive that we’re breaking our rule of always going somewhere different for dinner and are going back in 2 nights time. Can’t wait! Do book, it’s rightly popular (and have an aperitif in Chez Gerard by the coast opposite first or a coffee there after, great vibe and a great piano player).

This restaurant deserves the good reviews it receives. It is brilliantly placed, staff excellent and friendly Chose the discovery menu at 65 euros Each small dish was beautifully presented and tasted sensational My husband didn't want this menu but as everyone on the table had to have it, otherwise it wasn't posisble. He relucantly agreed and even he cme away saying "that meal just blew you away - each course gave you a different taste experience; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We were cycling in Corsica during Easter. It was a pure coincidence that we discovered this restaurant. Even with the cycling clothes we were warmly welcomed and served the best lunch in Corsica. The service was highest class possible. We felt very appreciated. Food was authentic corsican. Excellent menu and wine. Apperitif of myrth wine was beautiful. Next time we are in Corsica we are going there again!

Restaurant Le Santana

Reviewed By DamianC209

My wife and I had a excellent meal here. Great setting, simple but well delivered food. It’s slightly more formal than some of the other beach places but still relaxed and the food is significantly better. Cannot fault anything. It’s right in the beach. You see kids playing and a few locals having a drink on the sand below you. It’s calm and really nice with a lovely view across the sea. Really nice. The food is simple but well executed. Fresh fish, seafood pasta, lobster, tuna tartar, octopus ceviche etc. I think better for dinner than lunch but others may disagree. Why not 5*? I set the bar really high for 5* dinner places and tend to only rate the top michelin places at this level but many would rate this as 5* and I would completely understand why. Merci beaucoup...... au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau dans notre établissement.Bien cordialement,Jean-Louis CINOTTI.

Was just great place to eat lunch, service and food was perfect. Prices are good regarding the amount of work they must put in a plate and knowing there were only two staff working in the whole restaurant one person for the service and the chef. Very welcoming people and great food Good morning, thank you for taking the time to write your opinion. We are very happy that you had a good time at " Le Petit Restaurant".

Sur la place d'un petit village, entouré d'autres restaurant, vous trouverez la petite moustache, un restaurant dont le père est aux fourneaux et sa fille au service. Une petite carte (souvent synonyme de qualité) vous proposera certains plats classiques et quelques spécialités Corses. Le veau aux olives est à tomber. Le prix est très raisonnable, on y a passé un repas très agréable !
