Les Quatres Vents

Bonifacio


Surveying the harbour through giant windows, the ‘Four Winds’ has an appropriately nautical theme, with lots of yachting photos, plus a spiral ship’s staircase and even a funnel above the open kitchen. Breton owned, it’s the finest seafood restaurant in town, offering classic preparations of shellfish and fresh catch, or a ‘petit’ bouillabaisse for €29.
