With its young, funky vibe and excellent €21 three-course menu, L’Osteria is a year-round local favourite. Rich in regional produce – seafood, veal, etc – the cuisine combines modern renditions of Corsican staples with pan-Mediterranean classics. In winter, they offer a more restricted array of tapas.
