Le Pacha — Restaurant in Sartène

I admit, I am a picky eater. If in restaurant's menu I find 2 two positions that I would easily eat, I am happy. But here, I could eat every single entry, main dish and even a dessert, which usually is not my fav thing. Simple yet effective, made fresh with best ingredients, those are keys to success on the table that Le Pacha clearly masters. Not to mention the location, which is right on the sea side, with sweet view on the bay and sea waves crushing on the rocks below the terrace. It seems like the super friendly staff is just a small addition to this great experience but hey, lets appreciate those guys and girls cause they are completing this place's ambiance perfectly! Oh, and I will try to add some food pics next time I pass by, but I cannot promise - it's all just to good and doesn't give me a chance to even think about photographing...

So setting is amazing, outstanding must be what draws the crowds in because it certainly is not the food! Ordered the most expensive thing on the menu which was the beef to share. Asked for medium to well. Photos from their website looked amazing. Reality a very different story. Tough, so fatty not much meat and the meat that was there was raw, unedible and certainly not cooked med to well I would not feed it to my dog. Manager uninterested, never apologised in fact left his staff to deal. I offered to pay half but as I ate nothing and I mean nothing should not have paid at all. I wonder if they chose this meat especially for us... being English... we are not liked in Corsica.... never again would I visit...

All of us enjoyed our food and we would eat here again. The chorizo mussels were especially good. A good option for late lunch.

However, there were a few detractions. Menus are accessed by QR code and there are no physical menus available "because of Covid", however there is no particular commitment to Covid safety otherwise. There are shaded tables - they are under shade cloth that does not fully stop the sun, so these tables are quite warm on a windless day. "Bien cuit" does not come out bien cuit even by French standards, so if you want this be sure to insist...
