Le Petite Marie – 2 Rue des Zephirs in Bastia, The place is small and quaint with a reasonably priced menu. Try there grilled langoustines in local herbs and spices or any of their other seafood dishes.
La Citadelle – 6 rue du Dragon in Bastia, with an ever-changing menu this restaurant is more French than Corsican. The seafood is excellent, as is the meat and duck.
Le Bosco – 12 Quai des Martyrs, this Middel Eastern restaurant with its Corsican influence is a real favourite. Try their rich mezze of Lebanese/Israeli salads, the dish of the day and their freshly baked cheesecakes. This place is really something for a different eating experience.
|
Musicales de Bastia – Place St. Nicholas, great fun and music sometimes mixed with dance and theatre, gives something for everyone under one roof.
Mon Reve, Esignia – Sagone Ajaccio 20118, this is a cool hangout that is loud and noisy, and where everyone goes to be seen.
