Anyone reading my Yelp reviews may wonder why I often give so many stars. That is most easily…read moreexplained by looking at how I found the restaurant to begin with- Yelp. This happened again last night after arriving in Corsica - and feeling hungry for one of my favourite foods- Mussels! Or, as the French call them- moules frites. We ended up at Chez Alain just as a magnificent sunset was being painted on the horizon. The menu had two pages of Mussels- my son and I went for plates of Indienne and Corsoise. I usually dislike hyperbole, and I would not blame you, reading this review, for raising your eyebrows now. But these mussels at Chez Alain are to die for- because when you eat them you will think you had died and gone to heaven. And that is all I have to say about Chez Alain in Corsica.

The waiter spoke english yet only spoke to us in French. If you are in the area - it is certainly worth the money for the overall experience.

The menu was all inFrench as well, but Google Translate worked well to figure out what to order. I ordered the calzone with ham and mushrooms and was surprised how large it turned out to be! While I was concerned at first, my fears were assuaged when I tasted it. Delicious. I got to the middle of the calzone and discovered an over easy egg had been put in it as well. I don't think it really added anything to the overall success of the meal. I used the crust around the edges to clean up the insides that spilled out during the eating. All in all, everyone was very pleased with the meals they ordered.

We also had the pizza that was good, a little soft in the crust but flavorful. Try the Tiramisu for dessert. We are not fans usually but this was exceptional.
