Auberge de la Restonica, Restaurant

We were staying at the Dominique Colonna hotel next door to this restaurant and decided it would be an easy place to have dinner on our first evening. The first course of aubergine with a mousse of the local Corsican cheese was excellent. However, my second course of dorado accompanied by vegetables and rice was not. Some of the rice was so hard I feared I could break a tooth if I bit too hard on it. The vegetables were over-cooked and very sorry looking. My husband had the night’s special of Vietnamese beef rolls with an odd dipping which he enjoyed but isn’t like anything I’ve ever had in the many Vietnamese restaurants I’ve been to.

Superb restaurant. We were staying at the nearby Dominique Colonna hotel and they don’t have a restaurant so they sent us next door to what in comparison looked like a run down hotel so our expectations were low but we were blown away. The food was superb. The staff were very efficient and friendly. They were appreciative of us trying to speak French and whenever we struggled they were happy to switch to English (you have to at least try). The portions were abundant and very good value for money. The view and setting are simply amazing. Wish I had more time to try all the dishes.

We chose this place because it was by the river (and it is beautifully so) but without realizing how good the food would be. We had a delightful omelette with mint and brocciu followed by the trio de mer. This was a squid ink risotto with superbly cooked gambas, scallops and squid. It looked as good as it tasted. Service came with a smile and compared with some pricey restaurants in Corsica this was pretty reasonable value. All in all, a delightful lunch in a wonderful place we will be back!
