L'Abri Cotier
It's safer to reserve at this popular spot, just off the quayside; ask for one of the coveted tables beside the panoramic window, one floor up and lording it over the restaurant terraces below. The cuisine is imaginative (try, for example the sea bass accompanied by a basil flan) and the house desserts are a dream (save a corner for their chestnut ice cream with toffee sauce). It also does a vegetarian platter.

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.

U Pescador
Near the beach and sandwiched between the car park and a recently planted grove of trees (with the sea just out of sight, alas), The Fisherman does a quite magnificent fish soup. Rub a clove of garlic into the toasted bread, sprinkle on some grated cheese, pour on the rich broth, add a dollop of rich rouille, sip and sigh with pleasure. To follow, both the fish and seafood are delightfully fresh.

La Braise
This Bastia classic has recently changed hands. Gone, some will lament, is Jo, the ebullient former patron, into well-earned retirement. The place might have had a thorough spring clean but what remains constant is the simple, well-prepared cuisine such as prawns flambés in pastis and red mullet with pistou.

U Callelu
The menu chases the changing seasons at this homespun eatery, run with passion and flair by a born-and-bred islander who tracks down the best local ingredients for his dishes: meat and veg from the market, wine direct from the vineyards, fish straight off the boats. It's on the quayside.

Aux Bons Amis
With its nautically themed décor, Aux Bons Amis has a short, select à la carte choice and serves up the best of fresh fish and seafood. Two downsides; the flickering TV is an intrusion, even though the sound's turned off. And the house white is best avoided…

Le Bilboq – Chez Jean Jean
In business for decades, this Ajaccio icon is famous for one thing and one thing only: langouste (lobster), best enjoyed on the oh-so-cute little terrace in a pedestrian street. Knock it all down with a well-chosen Corsican wine, and you'll be in seventh heaven.

La Mer
An oasis from the harbourside fizz, La Mer has the finest views of all from its terrace overlooking the gulf and the Genoese tower. The fish on offer is determined by what's in the nets of the previous day's catch. Meat dishes also feature on the menu.

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.

La Tour Génoise
With its 'surf' or 'turf' menus and shady terrace, this place, just above the marina and overlooking the Genoese tower, is a pleasant option.
