5 stars overall, the 3 for service is because they don't accept credit card, which I personally find weird in 2025, especially in a touristic city, capital of Corsica. Rest is really nice. Cool design, good food and friendly service

quiet street with no traffic, a bit sexy and romantic for the city center. if you are a foreigner, they forget to serve you a bit, but great food, especially salads in a wooden bowl. I would come back...

This was a very pleasant place to eat. We arrived about 30 minutes before the kitchen opened, but the staff quickly attended to us once it opened. The food was surprisingly delicious and well-prepared, although the portions were slightly on the smaller side. Overall, it was a delightful experience and definitely worth recommending to anyone visiting the area.
