Playa Baggia — Restaurant in Sartène

We came here based on most recent reviews, and I am convinced they are not authentic. On the somewhat positive note: the beach is beautiful, albeit crowded, but if you are seated in the large back section of the restaurant, you don’t even see the beach. The service is not efficient, but to be fair, also not hostile. The size of the establishment does not lend itself to a luxurious experience. The food is definitely cafeteria fare, so if you think of this as a beach bar/café, it might be somewhat decent, but if you consider the other culinary options on the island, and mistake this for a “restaurant”, you are literally throwing your money away. The photos of the furnishings and setting were misguiding in the sense that though it is well designed aesthetically, and in keeping with the modern organic vibe of the island, the food is decidedly awful. It’s also about three times larger than I expected, so it feels like a shopping mall food court. Caesar salad had barely any lettuce, and felt like a vessel for croutons made from day old bread. The chicken dish was bland, small, boring. In fact, my daughter’s kids menu fish was the most palatable of our lunch orders. Although we didn’t take menu pricing into account, I would’ve preferred to spend an extra €50-€60 to have a memorable meal and service. My order felt like an airport salad at airport salad pricing. Most places we visited so far, we would easily come back to, and this was the first establishment I would not...

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for nearly ten years, and the location is nothing short of breathtaking. For a long time, it was my absolute favorite spot, somewhere I’d always look forward to returning.

Unfortunately, over the past four years, the experience has noticeably declined. While the staff still greet you on arrival, the service has grown increasingly indifferent, at times even bordering on rude. The pace is painfully slow; we’ve sat from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM on more than one occasion without any urgency from the team.

As for the food, it’s now a 3 out of 5 at best, especially when compared to the quality it once had. For the last three years, we’ve made a point of returning just once annually, hoping to see improvement. Sadly, each visit confirmed our disappointment, and this year we’ve decided not to return at all.

We’re not alone in this sentiment, many of our local friends have shared similar experiences. At this point, we’ll wait until we hear from people we trust that things have changed for the better.

I say all this with genuine sadness, because we truly love(d) this place. If and when they turn things around, I’ll be the first one back...

Last visited this Restaurant 10 years ago by boat on both occasions ,food was fantastic then ! Made reservation was really looking forward to lunch . Greeted and seated immediately drinks arrived quickly . Completely different menu Food arrived 2 minutes after it was ordered which is always a bad sign . Linguine had been precooked microwaved so hot was inedible Poke Bowl with Chicken was barely average. Sent Linguine back ordered a Club Sandwich waiter was indifferent This too was awful poor quality ingredients didn’t appear to be fresh ,heart of lettuce was brown couldn’t finish it ,even the fries had been refried Told the waiter who could have cared less Paid the bill manager just ignored my comments and just kept saying “Bye Bye “ as my card payment was accepted .On reflection I should not have paid for Club Sandwich ! I was very polite but completely gutted that we had made the trip especially . Clearly food here now is frozen quick fried/microwaved “fast food “ such a shame . As a location for drinks it is stunning but...
