Chez Marie - Linguizzetta

Yes, the best restaurant I visited on the island. But still far below my expectations when I visit a restaurant. Given that I am at seaside, I would expect more fish food on offer. The paste is excellent, I have to admit. The garden is nice, the staff friendly, but they don't know much more then French.

We stayed in the hotel Chez Marie and we took advantage of the restaurant every night. Sergio cooks very creative Corsican/Italian dishes and he is very proud of using the best (local) ingredients. The restaurant was packed on weekends, I guess in summer it will be essential to make reservations. Weather permitting, dinner is served in the charming garden behind the house. What I also really enjoyed was the charming and attentive service. While it was very busy the service was always fast and very competent, which I love. The wait for the dishes was also perfect, but, more importantly the food was top notch. My partner, who is quite picky, ordered the Pulpo salad every night, as he was so enthusiastic about it. All this comes with an excellent choice of selected Corsican wines (and others of course). The setting is also worth a notice. All is decorated very tastefully with real 50ies furniture, lots of interesting books, comfy sofas and many interesting little deco pieces. Prices are very reasonable, so not to miss!

I stayed at the Chez Marie in the middle of July 2017 and I can highly recommend anyone thinking of travelling to Corsica to give this place a go. Pascal and Sergio run it to perfection with the homemade al la carte food and service second to none. They specialise in something that little bit different to anywhere else in the vacinity which makes it's well worth a visit whether to stay overnight go for that special meal. They were so knowledgeable and friendly to myself travelling alone and were able to recommend other quality dinning establishments within the vacinity to suit all budget needs. As they would say in Ireland these lads are pure class and well sound.

Restaurant has good price/quality ratio, and the service is very good (type Routier). Unfortunately the restaurant is only open to public for lunch, where diner is reserved uniquely for those living there in half-board.
