Café de l'Orient — Restaurant in Calvi

Not that I have to justify myself, but I went to the stand to see the variety of ice creams and not to...

We had as nice time because we were with friends, because it was a beautiful day to sit next to the harbour, and because the chairs were very comfortable. But the food was just okay (we had tempura gambi, which were very heavily breaded and not crispy at all). Prices were in line with the location. The service was very slow and non-responsive, though, which took some of the edge off the experience. There are a ton of restaurants along the quay so you might have better luck elsewhere, but sadly I can't offer a...
