Restaurants

The 20123
From the outside, it looks like just another restaurant. But when you open the door, you find yourself in a village square, with a fountain, washing drying in the windows and a starry sky. The owner has recreated the restaurant he used to run in Pina Canale, a village in the Taravo valley whose postcode is used as the name of the establishment. The unique menu includes Corsican soup, charcuterie or crêpes with brocciu, sautéed veal with olives or tripettes. For dessert: the traditional chestnut flour flan. 2, rue du Roi de Rome. 20000 Ajaccio
