Restaurant La Place Chez Michel — Restaurant in Corte

Unrespectfully. First they wanted to put us in the worse place, in a corner, near the opened kitchen, when the inside of the restaurant was very empty. We say we didn't like, and finally we sit in a different plsce, at 20h and the waitress inquiry us that they closed at 9. We asked 2 pasta dishes. At 20:35h the meal had not arrived, and we notice to a different waitress the situation, that he was rushing us for closing at 9, but that if the dishes did not arrive we couldn't finish at 9. Moreover, we claimed for the big delay for 2 pasta dishes (not justified). The waitress never apologised, she went to the kitchen, and she came back in a few minutes saying "it will be ready in minimum 10 min". We complained, noticing that we had been waiting 40', and that we didn't trust that the dishes would come in that time (some other tables that had come at 8:10-8:15 had the dishes, so there was a situation). She does not accept the complain, continuing not apologising. The maitress, who was very close, neither came to us for explaining or apologising, but he exclaimed ostensibly and dispasing us to the other waitress "oh, look, they are spanish!". Discrimination and ignorance in one gesture: we are catalan, so we are not spanish, and we never spoke spanish between us. Beyond this, regrettable prejudice instead of solving the trouble created. About the food, normal,...

Two of us dined here and had starters and mains.

First things first, the vegetarian pizza was fantastic, and the Corsican red wine was great. If we had just ordered this we would have been happy.

However, the lamb pasta main dish was inedible and nothing like it was portrayed on the menu (see photos). The lamb was pure fat, skin and bone with no sauce, herbs, seasoning etc.

The courgette fritters for starters were bland, greasy and again lacked sauce.

We queried the lamb dish with two members of staff, they weren't interested and shrugged it off saying that's how it served.

So, basically stick to...

This restaurant is a gem. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon it. The Corsica pizza rivals any pizza I have had in New York. I came back a second time because it was so good and I was dying to try the Lamb, which was sadly sold out but their daily special was fantastic. Definitely stop here on your way up to Restonica. It is a charming town and a fantastic restaurant. One of the best I went...
