Had a nice lunch on the terrace of restaurant Capuccino. I ordered the moules corses and my boyfriend went for a pasta (Sacottini au figatello). The mussels were ok, but a smaller than I’m used to eating in Belgium. My boyfriend’s pasta was tasty. The food is prepared with local products, but is by no means exceptional.

I didn’t order a dessert, but I was pleasantly surprised by the way customers could choose between the different desserts. The waiters brought a big plate with desserts on it, so that you only had to point at the dessert you liked most. Portions looked huge, from a distance.

We enjoyed the view on the harbour and the citadel. We did had to wait a long time before getting the bill. Service could be a bit more attentive.

Restaurant de l’Europe is situated nearby a big parking lot close to the harbour. There are lots of restaurnats in this neighbourhood so it can get hard to choose since lots of them offer more or less the same food.

Of course we started our meal with a Cap Corse, the local aperitif. Afterwards we went for the menu with Corsican specialties, which was really great. Only complaint is that the portions were so big we had trouble finishing our dessert (marron cake and chees platter). I enjoyed my fish soup and the cannelloni with brocciu was also fine, but too heavy for me. All of the dishes were fine, but nothing out of the ordinary. For this three course menu we payed 26 euro, drinks not included.

Staff we very friendly and kind enough to offer us a separate chair to put our backpack on. When our meal was finished the chef came to great us. Always a nice touch!

We enjoyed a lovely lunch on the terrace of U Scalu looking over the harbour of Macinaggio. We started our meal with a traditional Corsican aperitif: Cap Corse. I ordered the grilled gambas and my boyfriend had a Tomino pizza. Both dishes were prepared outside nearby the sea. The pizza was made in a wood oven. Food was great, service was friendly. Lovely place for a lunch.

There are lots of restaurants in Centuri offering more or less the same, so it is hard to figure out if you’re entering a tourist trap or not. We were quite content we visited Le Langoustier. We enjoyed a very nice view on the setting sun and the seafood of the Formule Grand Large was tasty. Not exceptional, but value for money.

Food came very quick and staff was friendly. Even though we spoke French our waitress insisted in serving us in English. Which is nice if you don’t speak French. I liked the fiadone (Corsican cheese cake) as a dessert.

Do visit the toilet, you’ll get a very nice view from there!
