Philadelphia | Bastia โ A Stunning Mediterranean Restaurant
Described as a blend of Corsican and Sardinian flavors ๐ซ๐ท๐ฎ๐น โ truly Mediterranean, specializing in creative combinations of seafood and fruit. ๐ Appetizers are diverse and fun! If you like sweet-tart flavors, try the Honeycrisp apple starter. The menu changes seasonally โ this time we had octopus legs with a tangy, appetite-whetting sauce ๐คค. ๐ Whole Orata with Sorrel Pesto & Tapenade โ A second-time order for me! Tender, boneless fish paired with a slightly pickled, chili-like sauce โ refreshing and flavorful. ๐ Braised Veal Osso Buco with Olives & Le Puy Lentils โ Rich and savory, though a bit too salty for my taste ๐ซ. ๐น Cocktails โ Recommend the Golden Apple, a gin & tonic with a touch of tomato-peach juice. ๐ฐ Desserts โ The tiramisu was delicious, and the gelato came in a huge scoop! The olive oil cake sounded odd but was moist, soft, and surprisingly good. A truly delightful meal! ๐ #Foodie #StudyAbroadLife #NoMessFood #Philadelphia #VibeDining #HiddenGem
