The atmospheric old-stone interior of this wine-bar-turned-restaurant is packed to the rafters with sausages and cold meats hung up to dry, cheeses, jars of jam and honey, and other tasty Corsican produce, and there’s a spacious outdoor terrace too. Lunch platters range from light to feisty – ravioli is a speciality – and desserts are sumptuous.
