U Tavanincu - Velone-Orneto

Visited on a Friday evening following recommendation from TripAdvisor. It is up a very windy road off the main road south of Bastia. Just when you think you may have taken the wrong road it appears. We were greeted by a charming young woman who spoke impeccable English and were seated on the terrace, with superb views back towards the sea. We had a couple of carafes of Corsican house white, €8 per half litre and perfectly drinkable. The menu is a simple board, and looking around at other tables, everything looked good. The portions are enormous. I have a very good appetite, but wasn't going to manage a dessert after a stater and main. They don't accept cards, so come with €30-50 per head, depending how deep into the menu you want to go.

Found here on TripAdvisor and totally worth the trip from the sea Cheese in light batter gorgeous as was the sword fish tartare Nice waiter Frederick Stunning view to the sea Absolutely loved the place , stunning It was worth visiting for our anniversary

Nice place with a nice seaside view. The food was good but I don't know why I was expected something a bit more. Anyway you should visit it in order to see a bit of the old island tradition.

Found this pearl up in the mountains after driving around looking for a place to eat at. Excellent food! Genuine Corse with Italian influence. Don't miss the mix plate with different Corse specialist like cheese and meat. That in combination with brilliant service make this place the best. I will be back!

We like our food but this was up there......& the view...... Fabulous starters, terrific mains - big portions Epic drive up/down the hill - just rounded the evening off Just go - you won't regret it
