The food was excellent, although a few items were off the menu, which should be seen as a sign of authenticity, as this restaurant adapts its menu based on market availability. The bouillabaisse is a must (unless the temperature is too high outside), and the pasta dishes are very good (though we didn't ask if the pasta is homemade). You can sense from the food and service that this is a family-owned restaurant. Do not hesitate if you want a good experience at a reasonable price. PS: I forgot to take a "before" picture; this is my bouillabaisse "after."

One of the best food experiences of my life. The food was spectacular! The restaurant should have a Michelin Star or at least a Guide recommendation. The food is fresh and local and very tasty. The service is nice and feels like home. This is a must visit if you’re in Ajaccio.

What a complete disaster. Tried calling since 8pm—no answer. Showed up at 9pm, knowing the kitchen closes at 11pm, and what do I get? The owner's wife telling me there's no table because she has to take her kid to school tomorrow. Are you kidding me?
I explained I’d tried to call, and she casually mentions she forgot her phone at home. Brilliant! Then she tells me I should’ve searched for another number online or booked via an app. Unbelievable.
I told her I was disappointed and that this was incredibly unprofessional. As I’m leaving, she chases me outside, calls her husband over, and the next thing I hear … we’re not very lady wise!
That’s not just unprofessional, it’s bloody disgraceful. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Sort it out, or just close the doors!

We had a really wonderful meal here - the squid in particular was the best we’d ever tasted and the wine was terrific. The service was incredibly friendly and warm. It’s a family owned and operated restaurant and it really shows with how they treat you. We would absolutely recommend!

The food was exceptionally good! Friendly husband and wife as owners, who spoke more than enough English to help us answer curious questions about the extraordinary dishes and wines. Thanks for a great evening. The raw St. Jaques carpaccio was incredible.

La Terrasse du Fesch
Perched on the rooftop of a hotel, this place delivers a stunning view of Ajaccio, the bay and the surrounding mountains. Thanks to modular wall sections, panels can be opened and closed at will, depending on the weather. In the open kitchen, chef Franck Radiu can be seen working hard to a soundtrack of electronic music. A local man, and a pastry chef by training, he serves up a well-paced meal that makes the most of the riches of Corsica's terroir. On this occasion: a spider crab cannelloni, with a twist in the form of grapefruit supremes; sea bream on potato patties topped with a delicious bouillabaisse jus, and a trompe-l'œil lemon in a delicate white chocolate shell – a light, citrus dessert.

Le Petit Restaurant
In the heart of historic Ajaccio, this restaurant may be small by name, but it thinks big! Seasoned chef Vincent Boucher crafts a repertory that extends far beyond the Mediterranean with the overriding goal of creating modern dishes with a dash of creativity and the odd exotic tribute. On the menu you may find a 65° boiled egg, gently sautéed onions and local charcuterie; low temperature poultry breast, seasonal veggies, velvety mash and a gutsy gravy; fleur de sel crumble, sorbet flavoured with verbena from the garden, foamy mascarpone and a light dusting of fig leaves and Corsican strawberries. Kristel Paries bends over backwards to pamper guests in the dining room, making sure they enjoy every moment of their meal.

L'Écrin
This endearing restaurant, slightly off the historic town’s crowded tourist track, offers fresh, seasonal, expertly crafted Mediterranean cuisine, such as brandade of forkbeard fish, bottarga and a peppery piquillo cream. The dinky terrace is invariably taken by storm in summertime. Infectiously cosy welcome. A genuine bijou of an eatery.

A Nepita
English born chef Simon Andrews, a former Michelin star holder, fell head over heels with Corsica. He goes to the market every day to painstakingly select local ingredients, which he then meticulously crafts: red tuna, denti, seabass, brocciu, veal, etc. Some of his signature dishes are always on the menu, such as grilled squid or his medley of local fish, to the delight of regulars and tourists alike. The chef also enjoys scattering his dishes with wild marjoram (“nepita”, after which the restaurant is named). The cheerful front-of-house service is managed by Simon’s wife, Corsican born Roberta.
