Cantina Doria
A Bonifacio institution, this cavernous little joint has a tantalising menu showcasing all the classics of Corsican cuisine, served in snug surrounds complete with wooden benches, copper pots, rustic tools and dented signs. Tuck into perennial favourites such as lasagnes au fromage Corse (lasagne with Corsican cheese) and soupe Corse,aubergines à la bonifacienne (aubergines stuffed with breadcrumbs and cheese), and you’ll leave patting your tummy contentedly.

Kissing Pigs
Soothingly positioned by the harbour, this widely acclaimed restaurant and wine bar serves savoury fare in a seductively cosy interior, complete with wooden fixtures and swinging sausages. It’s famed for its cheese and charcuterie platters. For the indecisive, the moitié-moitié (half and half), which is a combination of the two, is the perfect answer. The wine list is another hit, with a good selection of Corsican tipples, available by the glass.

Le Voilier
A bastion of haute cuisine on the marina, Le Voilier attracts serious gourmets keen to enjoy elaborate fish and meat dishes. The carré de denti et pistou de coquillages (dentex steak with a Provençal sauce) certainly won our hearts. Save room for desserts - the crème brûlée au basilic (cream pie with a caramelised topping and basil) is a victory for humanity.

Le Gregale
On Plage de Maora, Le Gregale is well worth the detour. This is the place towards which all heads turn when it comes to tasting the freshest of fish. Depending on the daily catch, the menu may feature John Dory, sea bream, sea bass... and lobster. It’s a family affair, with Mum, Dad (the cooks) and two sons (fishermen and waiters). Another draw is the rustic-chic setting, with blond-wood furniture and beams.

Kissing Pigs
Get in early here as this zany fave, right by the harbour, teems with punters from far and wide anxious to wrap their mandibles around some of the best charcuterie and cheese platters in town. Go for the moitié/moitié (half-and-half), which is a combination of the two. Since wines also feature highly here, let things rip with the list of well chosen Corsican tipples. Fiumicicoli, anyone?

Les 4 Vents
The setting is eye-catching, with seafaring paraphernalia adorning the dining room and a terrace soothingly positioned on the waterfront. Les 4 Vents serves good Corsican dishes made with salutary attention to detail. Push the boat out with the brochette d'espadon (skewered cubes of swordfish) and salade de seiches et crevettes (shrimps and cuttlefish salad). Deadly.

Stella d'Oro - Chez Jules
This characterful eatery set in a former oil mill is held in high regard by locals and tourists alike. There's nothing unorthodox on the menu, just the usual Bonifacien suspects cooked to perfection: aubergines à la bonifacienne (eggplants cooked with cheese) and pasta. A dessert du chef (homemade dessert of the day) will finish you off sweetly.

L’Archivolto
Steps from the Église Ste-Marie Majeure, this gloriously offbeat bistro feels like an antique shop, with an onslaught of quirky collectables from floor to ceiling. The chalked-up menu is just as eclectic, with an assortment of fish and meat dishes, as well as frondy salads. In summer the tables spill out onto the lovely piazza outside.

La Main à La Pâte
This long-standing restaurant serves nothing but high-quality pasta dishes at eminently affordable prices. You choose the colour (white, orange, green or black), the form (tagliatelle, fettuccine, rigatoni) and the accompanying sauce. Good fun and tasty.

Boulangerie Faby
There's something delightfully timeless about this old-fashioned boulangerie in the haute ville. The patronne can be grumpy, but that's part of the fun. Ah, its uga seccata! Sinful.

Cantina Grill
The Cantina Doria has become so popular it has spawned a second outlet on the harbour with an emphasis on fresh fish. The three-course set menu is a bargain.
