Domaine de l’Ostriconi
Located on the edge of the Désert des Agriates, l’Ostriconi is a “last stop” roadside table d’hôte combined with a farmstand where you can scoop up a jar of superb jam made with peaches or tangerines from the garden. The restaurant prepares delicious, simple family-style Corsican dishes: fish soup, eggplant stuffed with brocciu, veal chops, lamb grilled with honey and home-baked fruit tarts, all made using produce from its organic farm. You dine in the garden surrounded by a poppy field strung with lanterns and, beyond, the starlit desert. Arrive early for a dip at the wild sandy cove of Plage de l’Ostriconi and a twenty-five-minute hike along a shaded river.
Ferme Auberge Campo de Monte
Operating out of the tiny kitchen of this ivy-covered ancient stone farmhouse on a hilltop east of the village, chef Pauline Juilliard turns out celebrated versions of her grandmother’s traditional recipes. Try the hearty mountain soup, roast veal with zucchini or Swiss chard and brocciu quenelles. After dessert—fritters macerated in eau-de-vie, fiadone or candied tangerines—coffee is served in the starlit garden overlooking the surrounding countryside. The restaurant serves dinner only, and reservations are a must.
