Traditional Corsican restaurants in France

  1. Domaine de Licetto

    If you're after an authentic Corsican experience, this place is hard to beat. Bring an empty tum: the five-course menu is a culinary feast based on local ingredients that come directly from small-scale farmers. Menu stalwarts include suckling lamb and aubergines à la bonifacienne. It's right in the maquis, on the way to Phare de Pertusato.

    Le Maquis

    This character-filled eatery set in a granite house is held in high regard by locals and tourists alike. The food's a delight, with a tempting menu based on traditional Corsican cooking. There's a cosy all-wood interior but, for preference, reserve a table on the balcony, which has great views.

  3. La Voûte

    This simple eatery set in a vaulted room cooks up robust Corsican classics such as lasagne with wild boar, pasta with Brocciu and veal stew.

    Da Mamma

    Staunchly Corsican cuisine aside, the main draw of this unfussy eatery is its location – it's tucked away down a steep alley and shaded by a magnificent rubber tree.

    U Pampasgiolu

    The rustic arch-vaulted dining room of this Ajaccio institution is packed with punters nearly every night of the week. They come for the first-rate Corsican food made from carefully chosen ingredients. Go à la carte, or choose from the planche spuntinu (snack selection) or planche de la mer (fish and seafood selection) for a great assortment of Corsican specialities served on wooden platters.
