Les meilleurs restaurants en Calvi

12/09/2024: Solicitation in front of the restaurant...Not great, starter served at the same time as the aperitif, mediocre and lukewarm fish soup, tasteless mussels marinière, no smile from the staff, when paying the bill not a thank you, no good evening , in short...the perfect tourist trap. TO AVOID

07/09/2024: Food is not outstanding, but okay (tuna steak and children's menu with chicken sticks and rice). Tables are very close together, so waiters sometimes only got to our table via detours. Good view of the harbor.

07/09/2024: Exceptional evening! We didn't know where to eat, Françoise the owner more or less called out to us and what luck! We had a charcuterie board for two, then a beef rib's and a fish soup. We had a blast! Corsican music in the background... It was great PS: so far this is the only restaurant where we ate real Corsican charcuterie... Thank you for your welcome

06/09/2024: At first glance, the restaurant makes a nice impression with a rustic vault inside, although this has not been confirmed. The service left a lot to be desired, you had to ask for both cutlery and water glasses. There are no tablecloths or sets. The quality of the cuisine was also very mediocre. I had a menu for €25, which included a thin slice of wild boar terrine with a hard and dried sprig of fennel and hard bread, then two thin slices of roast veal with a spoonful of potato casserole and fig sauce. Apparently everything was pre-cooked. At the end there were three approximately 5 mm thin and 5 cm large slices of a cake drowned in instant vanilla sauce, which was supposed to be chestnut cake, which, however, was not understandable. My wife only ordered chestnut soup, which was OK, but she no longer wanted another course. The soup, consisting of a rather small plate with some bread, cost €15. The crowning glory was a liqueur, which was charged at an outrageous €10. Not recommended.

03/09/2024: Group of 10 people (6 adults and 4 children) welcomed on the evening of August 15 without reservation. Well done. Prices are correct for Calvi (Or Corsica). Well placed with a view of the CALVI citadel. The plates are of good capacity (even if I doubt the kilo of mussels) and the dishes are good. The copious children's menu and its reasonable price. The servers were excellent, friendly and smiling. I advise.

02/09/2024: Very nice experience at the Transat repeated several times during our stay Always very well served quality cuisine the prices are correct I highly recommend this restaurant

29/09/2024: Breakfast disappointment and unpleasant service We were disappointed by our experience at the L'Escale restaurant during a breakfast with a group of five people. At 13 euros per person, breakfast includes a hot drink, orange juice, yogurt, half a baguette with butter and two jams, as well as a pastry. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. As soon as we arrived, the waitress was not the most pleasant. We had to wait a long time for our pastries, and when we asked where they were, the answer was curt: "I told you I put them in the oven." It was not the kind of attentive, friendly service you would expect, especially for a convivial occasion like breakfast. What surprised us the most was to learn that the pastries were frozen, while the bread came directly from the baker. We politely expressed our preference for fresh pastries, but the waitress said they were better frozen. At no time did she take our opinion into account, remaining cold and unpleasant throughout the exchange. In summary, the value for money does not justify the experience, especially in the face of such unwelcoming service. One positive point: the fresh bread was good, but the attitude of the staff and the frozen pastries tarnished our stay. Move on and go a little further because the prices are more attractive and the welcome is much more pleasant.

27/09/2024: I had breakfast and must say the experience was disappointing. The chocolatines were frozen, which really ruined our meal. When we mentioned this to the waitress, her response was less than professional. She even told us that she preferred frozen chocolatines rather than those from the bakery. This attitude left us perplexed and certainly did not help to improve the atmosphere. I don't recommend this place if you're looking for a good breakfast.

15/08/2024: Pizza délicieuse et copieuse!!! Produits frais . Pizzeria ouverte toute l’année. Super pour les soirées d’hiver en corse.

09/08/2024: The pizzas are good and the dishes are also well done, we must continue like this 😉👍 (if one day a chicken or meat pizza could be added to the menu 🙏) 🙋

16/09/2024: Haughty welcome. Correct service thanks to a young girl who must be an employee...so, after a coffee we don't want to know more!

16/09/2024: Very good restaurant with a view of the beach and a room protected from the wind.

17/07/2024: Nous avons attendu 2 h30 pour avoir notre repas!!! Assis a 20h30 sortia à 23h30 sans manger! Gros problème d’organisation Probleme de poisson non cuit immangeable Heureusement un geste commercial a ete fait

16/07/2024: Small coffee taken each morning in the cool of the streets of Calvi. Nice meeting with the owner who is a very friendly grandfather. I didn't have enough time during my short stay to try the cuisine! Pleasant moments.

29/09/2024: Nice restaurant overlooking the beach. Idyllic place 🤩 We tried the cocktails and tapas. We recommend 🤩

23/09/2024: Nice setting 😍 excellent pizza! You can go there with your eyes closed 😌

26/09/2024: Simple and friendly welcome for a quiet lunch break. Cuisine reflecting the welcome, good choice of dishes or salads or snacks. I tried: salad, savory crepe and also sliced ​​chicken with tomato and homemade fries, great for a beach restaurant!

06/09/2024: Great welcome. Extra mussels. Top staff and the little extra from the boss much appreciated. THANKS

26/09/2024: The seller takes it down, doesn't give any information, takes the tourists for idiots. Good Corsican products but which you find everywhere in the end, in short, good products but very bad sellers

25/09/2024: On vacation in Calvi, we wanted to do some shopping the day before our departure. The next day, back on the continent, we realized that the weight paid for cut cold meats did not correspond to reality (50 g on our scale and 150 g on theirs). Additionally, we purchased a cheese with a best before date of August 8 (we made our purchases on September 21). The sellers are not friendly. We do not recommend this store.

18/09/2024: Booked a day spa with lunch. While the massage was great, the lunch was a disaster. After noting that the beef was not possible to eat, the service confirmed to talk with the kitchen. After 15 minutes the service came to take our plates. We had to remind them that we still waited for a response and were then offered an alternative, but only from the room service menu. There was no apology and not even a complementary coffee or something else offered. The mayonnaise of the fries was dried which is a sign for salmonella. We just wanted informed the service to avoid any food poisoning for other guests, but the guy did not listen and wanted to try the mayonnaise. We noted that you cannot taste salmonella but he did not care, hope he is alright. In total we sat 2 hours in the restaurant and we're eating one after the other, so each of us sat there for an hour without anything. The cleanliness of the spa could be improved. Drink prices are insane with 20€ for a cocktail, leading to the bar being totally empty. The hotel and spa has great potential but they do not seem to invest into their staff training at all. Quite underwhelming experience for the price.

20/08/2024: we had a great time for a gourmet dinner, all the dishes were very fine, the wine pairing was brilliant with local wines at our request, and above all the passionate and fascinating explanations. The staff is attentive and affable if, like us, you liked the exchange. So of course it's a significant price but it's also a great moment and a great experience. Thanks to the Signoria team

29/08/2024: Very pleasant staff, pizzas prepared super quickly and delicious!! Much more affordable prices than the surrounding pizzerias. I highly recommend

22/08/2024: Nous voulions nous prendre quelques pizzas sur la plage en profitant de la fin de l’après midi. Je me suis dirigé vers cette pizzeria après une recherche rapide. L’accueil était très chaleureux, le personnel sympathique. Comme mes enfants ont englouti en quelques minutes les deux pizzas; je me suis donc redirigé à nouveau vers le restaurant pour une 3e pizza tout aussi excellente.

07/09/2024: Small cozy cafe with a great terrace. Food very tasty. Staff friendly.

05/09/2024: Very rude staff, the boy, perhaps nervous about the rainy morning, chased us away rudely because the place inside was full. We would have also taken take away but we obviously refused given the welcome. Rude!!

17/09/2024: Lovely place for a coffee and a croissant in the morning. Read my book at the table inside. Friendly staff.

01/09/2024: Having had the pleasure of coming several times for breakfast or to have a drink alone or with friends from Norway or elsewhere, I really appreciated the service of the 2 charming ladies who work there. The boss I dealt with this Sunday afternoon changed the situation. Came to have a drink before returning to work, I was very poorly received which left me hesitant to leave before being served. I told myself that maybe it was a bad impression and I stayed. I should have left. Having no place in the shade, I stood in the sun until a table became available and I even had the pleasure of warning the customers who were leaving that they had forgotten a object on the table. Already the reception was very cold, speaking to me dryly about my scooter, which I had discreetly put aside with a dry tone of “Whose scooter is this? Should I get her out of there??!!!!! Get behind me in the aisle!!” Monsieur allowed himself to come towards me, telling me Monsieur is playing musical chairs. I thought for a moment that it was a voice that I had heard, but it was indeed the boss without counting the rest of the attitudes he had towards me. I let him know that it was not at all commercial, and that it was not the first time that I had come but that whatever the frequency of visits, a customer remains a customer in addition when he is courteous and respectful. That I found his way of receiving people regrettable. He realized this and said to me, “I’ll offer you coffee, to which I replied that I wasn’t giving alms and that I wasn’t there to collect, that my coffee would be paid but it would be the last drink I would have in his establishment. » With these words, I told him that with all due respect, this was not at all a way to receive and I left. Very unfortunate to have such an attitude from people who will later complain not to have people especially since he should take seed from the 2 adorable ladies he employs.

17/07/2024: We had two sandwiches. They were fresh, quite big and definitely filling. The price was affordable, around 7€, so we actually had a chance to sit down and have a quick lunch without having to spend 20 and more euros, which seemed the average price of restaurants in that area.

13/07/2024: Decent sandwiches and paninis. Prices between 6&7€ per unit. There is an air-conditioned room for eating (nice during long outings in the sun)
