Cap Corse Mattei
Cap Corse Mattei is a Bastia institution. The interior of this gloriously retro shop with its Art Deco façade has hardly changed since the day Louis-Napoléon Mattei first open for business in 1872. During over a century of service it has continued to sell not only its celebrated brand-name Cap Corse apéritif, but various spin-off products that make ideal souvenirs and local specialities such as fig jam, olive oil and fruit liqueurs.

La Cave Sartenaise
It's exceptional selection of local wine makes La Cave Sartenaise an excellent stop for tipplers. If it's not crowded, the staff will be happy to give advice (in French) on the best Sartène wines to add to your cellar - we recommend a Saparale or a Fiumicicoli. Plenty of other Corsican goodies too (charcuterie, olive oil, cheese). It's right below the town hall.

Maison de L'Amande Corse
Maison de L'Amande Corse is a delightfully obsessive, single-product shop that offers almonds from Corsica (the island grows around 60% of the total French production), prepared in every possible way: almond oil, almond powder, cream of almond, almond soap, grilled, salted almonds - and wickedly tempting, delightfully sweet nougatine d'amande.

Boulangerie Galeani
Sweet-lovers will lose all self-control at Boulangerie Galeani – see if you can resist the devilish beignet de Brocciu (Brocciu fritters) and canistrelli (biscuits made with almond, walnuts, lemon or aniseed) served at this longstanding bakery.

U Maggiu
The wonderful stalls positioned in front of the cute granite façade are designed to tempt the devil in you. And they do. Especially if you add the rows of lovingly homemade jams displayed on the shelves. And honey. And charcuterie. And liqueurs. You can see the problem.

Opium
Opium, with shops on both sides of the street, offers not a single Corsican product. The owner, herself a victim of the travel bug, instead sells original and striking jewellery and crafts, for the most part from Africa and Asia.
