A Terrazza — Restaurant in Ajaccio

The location of the restaurant is very beautiful, a nice view of the sea and spot on for the lightning and background music. The service was absolutely flawless (the best we've experienced in corsica). The wine list has a good selection and the sommelier guided us elegantly and proving great expertise. The food: mise en bouche (oyster) was super, the entrees very nice (langoustine tartare and beef tataki), the main courses (tuna and red shrimps linguine) very well presented and executed although in our opinion are missing bit of balance. To end the dinner my bf took the cheeses and they were delicious, while my desert (chocolate based) was good but, quantity-wise, I would have preferred a smaller portion. In addition, we requested to bring our small dog with us and it was accepted with no problem at all.

Congrats and we believe a Michelin star would be very much...

Sometimes a story is being told with a menu and one can feel elevated by a culinary experience. That's not what happened to me tonight. Starting with a sea bass carpaccio (loup de mer), adorned with caramelized popcorn a sour/sweet sauce. Being an afficionado of sashimi, I was left with the sour taste from an obvious lack of inspiration. As for the "sauté de veau" a veil filet with toasted green olives, roasted potatoes (peeled thin, layered and then roasted or fried), the meat was the decent, but not really the experience I'm used to from haute (french) cuisine.

A lot of the experience is about the setting, but it's hard to enjoy the view without being at one of the 3 (out of 20) tables by the fence by the sea. Otherwise it's not giving much of a view, given the alternatives available all along the shore in this area of the Ajaccio gulf.

We didn't...

We enjoyed a romantic dinner here on our first night in Ajaccio, and it was perfect!! Every bite was delicious, but the star of the meal for me was the plate of locally sourced cheeses. I woke up the next morning dreaming of that cheese! The service was perfect, and the ambiance was so tranquille. We watched the sunset over the port, and after dark, the terrace was lit with string lights in the gorgeous tree overhead. Have a capo spritz with your amuse bouche...
