A Scudella
This snug place on Corte's liveliest square owes its reputation to a carefully composed menu, based solidly on good-quality local produce. The decor in the dining room won't win any prizes, but the outdoor seating is pleasant enough.

Auberge Santa Barbara
Send your tastebuds into a tailspin at this iconic restaurant serving authentic dishes with a creative twist. Award-winning chef Giséle Lovichi is a true alchemist, with such delectable concoctions as pigeon with myrtle sauce or veal stew with tagliatelle. Another draw is the bucolic setting, with elegant tables set around a well-manicured flower garden. A respectable wine list completes the perfect picture. It's about 1.3km from the centre on the road to Propriano; follow the signs.

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.

U Fornu
A surprisingly hip restaurant inside a restored stately house, this cool culinary outpost specialises in creative dishes that stray off the familiar Corsican path. Dishes are elegantly presented and filled with subtle flavours, and the menu Corse is excellent value. Eat in the sassy grey and red interior, or on the shady terrace. U Fornu is smack dab in the centre, but tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac off the main thoroughfare.

Le Sud
Reasons for making your way here are threefold: to admire the views of the marina and the watchtower from the delightful vine-covered veranda; to sample the lip-smacking fish and meat dishes that grace the menu (what about veal with banana?); and to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and lovely Mediterranean decor. For a little midday indulgence, tuck into its brimming assiette repas.

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.

Le 24
After something upmarket? Then swing by this snazzy spot on the main drag. It boasts contemporary furnishings, a sexy atmosphere and an innovative menu that uses top-quality ingredients and changes with the season. The house desserts, chalked up on the blackboard, hit the right spot.

A Casarella
Poised above the old port in the heart of the citadel, this restaurant boasts the loveliest terrace in Bastia. Tuck into innovative dishes based on organic Corsican produce – caramelised local pork, roasted cuttlefish with parsley – with the twinkling lights of the harbour below.
