LA TRATTORIA
LA TRATTORIA - 30, Cours Grandval, Ajaccio, Corsica
We were so impressed of the food at lunch so we reserved a table for the evening also. At lunch we got a nice plate of local Corsican charcuterie and a nice pasta with a tasty local sausage. The tiramisu for dessert was absolutely fantastic.
In the evening I made the mistake of ordering veal with Parmesan cheese, which I shouldn’t have done. I am not fond of the way Italians over-cook their meat, but my wife thought it was very nice. As we were still not very hungry after the lunch we shared a "baba au rum" for dessert. It was lovely, which even my wife, who normally don’t like it, thought.
The service at this restaurant is friendly, relaxed and very professional.

LE 20123
LE 20123 - 2 rue du Roi-de-Rome. Ajaccio, Corsica
This is a very special restaurant and very popular. We passed many restaurants in the old town and they were all almost empty, but at this place we could not get a table inside, but we could sit outside. It was packed. While we were eating it was a constant stream of people trying to get in.
They have one menu and they have had the same food since they started out in the county-side many years before they moved into town. They also have one wine, made especially for them. They had however three or four choices for main course and gave us two starters. The food is traditional country cooking with specialties from Corsica. I enjoyed it very much, but my wife thought it was a bit too rustic and heavy. My guess is that most couples would have the same differences about this kind of food. I will however recommend you to go here as it is obviously as genuine you can get it. The interior is really different and worth a visit. Another reason is that the service is very welcoming and friendly.
Be aware however – they only accept cash.

A NEPITA
A NEPITA - 4 rue San Lazaro, Ajaccio, Corsica
We were told by several sources that this is the best restaurant in Ajaccio. Therefore we were very surprised to find a very simple, quite small restaurant in a back street. Just one person was serving and we could only see one person in the semi-open kitchen. The price of the lunch menu was also very reasonable but the food was really excellent. For starter we had a risotto that was very tasty and the main course was one of the best fish dishes we had on Corsica. The waiter told us it was a local fish that was not that common in restaurants as it is full of bones. We saw nothing of those however – they were taken care of by the chef. The taste was really good. My wife got some nice cheese for dessert and I had a very simple plate with strawberries and wiped cream.
The service was very nice and he took time for everyone despite he had responsibility for the whole restaurant. We tried to go there when we returned to Ajaccio a week later, but it was fully booked. We were however impressed that the waiter said: “You were here a week ago for lunch, weren’t you. You were sitting there,” he said and pointed at our table. It did not help as he had no table for us, but we felt good anyway.
