This bakery/sandwich shop is 1) right next door to a hotel that most unfortunately does not have…read moreits own restaurant and 2) mercifully open when everything else nearby is closed so it earns 3 stars for my stomach's undying gratitude alone. The fare is pretty good - there's no way to sample ALL the fare but the sweets are very tasty. The savory stuff .... eh. One night I ordered a quiche which was decent but tepid, and the next night I ordered a squash-based sandwich that was not very good at all. The major downside about this place though is that Corsica has a lot of flies. And this place is a bakery. I'll let you use your imagination re where I'm going with that but there were a few things that looked tasty, but no way was I going to order.

I walked here from St Francois beach and had a pleasant lunch on the outdoor patio. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, outdoor is smoking friendly so just be aware of that. I ordered the seafood salad, which was delicious and so different in a good way from what I'm used to back in the USA. I finished off the meal with an espresso which was rich and creamy even by French standards. Service was a little slow but extremely friendly and it was the lunch rush so I don't fault them.

During my visit to Corsica, I was surprised at how GOOD the pastries were there! I guess they are…read moretechnically in France, but the pastries were almost as good as the ones in Paris. The bread was a bit saltier and had a nice, chewy "bite" to it. At this Boulangerie I sampled a cream-filled croissant and it was super tasty. The cream was a bit "off" but I'm not sure if that's just a Corsican thing (other creams in the pastries from other bakeries in town also had the same strange taste, but now that I'm back in the U.S. I'm having nightmares about the cream puff scene in "Van Wilder"). This place is worth a stop if your sweet tooth is raging, but be warned: the employees here were NOT friendly at all. Not only aloof, but pretty rude. That seemed to be the norm in Corsica.

It is located in the shadow of the Cathedral where Napoleon himself was baptized. Ya, you won't get that experience anywhere else! Walk up about a block and visit the home where the prominent French statesman was born. It will connect you to the French Revolution in a way that simply cannot be duplicated! But, back to the café. It's a charming and (obvi) historic location with a breathtaking view, and everything a hungry traveler could want in a quick stop for a bite to eat and a beer or glass of wine. Reasonable prices too! I feel fortunate to have visited!

If you don't speak French no worries, the menu was read to us in English by the staff who was extremely helpful and friendly! The ambience is nice, it's a quiet little place on a side street right off the main strip, it's easy to pass up if you're not looking for it specifically! Make sure you stop by!!! If I could rate this higher than 5 stars I would!

I had a lovely night on their cute street terrace and the service was super friendly. Great lobster ravioles to start followed by a great lamb with curried vegetables. Dessert was a choice of pear/fig crumble or chocolate/coconut mousse. Three course meal is 42 euros, two for 35.
