Tucked on a stepped alleyway between Calvi’s two main thoroughfares, with a shady terrace and a sassy grey-and-red interior, this elegant restaurant offers a creative take on classic French and Corsican dishes, from roast lamb or beef tartare to pasta with Provençal pistou sauce. The menu corse is excellent value.
