Restaurant MaThyS — Restaurant in Calvi

The saga continues. After we ordered the lobster ravioli (that we were charged for while we were served pork gyoza) i returned my veal lasagna after a tiny bite. It smelled rancid and it tasted rancid. They charged me for it and didn’t even ask why we were returning it. There’s no element of this dish that resembled lasagna except for the rock hard sheet of pasta they plonked on top of it. My partner proceeded to eat his nero risotto with octopus (I took one bite of the risotto and told him it was very fishy). We had been out of the restaraunt for ten minutes when my partner became very ill and we had to run back and he threw up violently in their bathroom. Despite coming to investigate the sound, when he emerged they said nothing, nor did they even inquire about what went wrong. These are rude charlatans who served rotten food to tourists simply because they knew we wouldn’t fight in French (my partner speaks decent conversational French only). They proudly show their Michelin star from 2018 outside. I’m not a serious foodie at all, but I’ve eaten at enough Michelin star restaurants to know that one main dish returned and another projectile vommitted is a...

My partner ordered the lasagna, and it came out smelling absolutely rancid. We could barely stomach a single bite and asked for it to be taken away and they offered nothing in exchange and charged us full price when they themselves know that was disgusting. I can imagine it’s because we’re tourists that they feel no obligation to correct their service but I couldn’t be more disappointed in a restaurant when on a dream vacation here in Corsica.

Edit: a few minutes after posting my initial review, I became so nauseous I had to run back into the restaurant where I became violently ill. After throwing up majority of my Nero risotto, I had to make my way back to my hotel room quickly to throw up the rest. I’m so disappointed in the women who served us as they were extremely friendly in the beginning and I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they then didn’t come to check on me at all and didn’t offer...

We stopped there for lunch. Their shaded terrace is a very cosy place, but the real highlight is the food. I have taken langoustines (very interesting concept to serve them as sth between carpaccio and ceviche) and octopus pasta (prolly the best octopus I have had on the island, also the pasta itself was very good), while my wife opted for a menu consisting of burrata and cannelloni au brocciu (the restaurant is quite pricy, but the lunch menu was surprisingly cheap for St. Florent (if I recall correctly sth around 22 Euro). She claims that it was the best canelloni she tried during the stay in Corsica (out of three). So, all in all, we highly...
