Meh Paella. What did we expect, Corsica is ex Italy recently French and definitely never Spanish…read more Also had a pasta, with the exact same sauce and flavor as the Paella. That was redundant and disappointing. In a real city like Paris or a real beach tourism location like Nice this place would likely not survive Service seemed very stretched and stressed. Everything was slower, less natural and somehow unhappy. Maybe serving tourists for low pay isn't fun, but neither is being a tourist being served by people who are clearly not happy in their job Last note- our server essentially ignored us after we ordered. If you eat here be prepared to fight for anything you need after your initial order. That includes getting and being able to pay the bill

A fun evening. Fresh fish prepared expertly. Sea Bream, Tuna Tartar, oysters. Lovely service and…read moredining outside (within the atrium.) The front of the restaurant is the fish store, so you can see what's on the menu before diving in; talk about fresh. One of the top dining spots in St. Florent. Excellent Corsican wine list; with our fish I enjoyed the light, affordable, lemony, minerally Vin blanc -- Clos Marfisi Inseme Patrimonio which is cultivated nearby. (What grows together goes together.) You will have a great evening! I certainly hope to return.

This is a posh place with prices to match. The quality of the food is very high, and the dishes are…read moreinnovative, so it is well worth a visit! We had oysters and tuna tartare to start with - both were god, but lacked some of the finer details. The tuna tartare lacked seasoning, and the oysters were not loosened (if that is the correct term), which is no tradgedy, but still somewhat vexing. The main courses we had - tuna steak and tiger prawns with tomato and olive oil sauce and mashed potatoes with ginger, were excellent, especially the prawns. For dessert, we had the lemon tart and the goat cheese ice cream with myrte gel - thw latter was truly a revellation. Service was attentive, as you would expect from this kind of upscale place, but some of the waiters could do with a course in serving wines. At the prices they have, L'Auberge du Pecheur needs to get the details right.

A seafood restaurant that is trying to go the extra mile, but just missing the mark…read more This place have a focus on seafood but also serve sallads and meat, so even someone not being a seafood lover will have a good selection of food. The place looks very fancy, but no real dress code seems to apply, so don't be scared off! Had the tuna tartar for starter which was very good and presented in a beautiful way. Then the lobster risotto for main and that unfortunately had ever so slightly undercooked rice and a lobster that was a bit dry. The dessert was the biggest disappointment - chocolate mousse that was just thrown into a bowl without any finesse and that tasted just like the kind you make yourself from powder from the supermarket. Most things on the menu (from starter to dessert) will work fine for us with gluten intolerance and following fodmap (IBS diet) as the focus is on seafood. Service was a bit stressed and the flow of things was not on their side. The waiter however recognized this without us even commenting and deducted our aperitif and coffee from the bill. The service we did get was very good though, so I would say that we caught them either on a exceptionally stressful night and/or they we're understaffed. A big plus that they have a guy that comes to your table to show you the food they'll be cooking you when ordering fish or lobster for example. Very nice touch! Over all a nice dinner in a nice restaurant, but I would not join the quire of people speaking of it as one of the best places ever. If you want fresh seafood at a fairly good price this is the place for you though.

Anyone reading my Yelp reviews may wonder why I often give so many stars. That is most easily…read moreexplained by looking at how I found the restaurant to begin with- Yelp. This happened again last night after arriving in Corsica - and feeling hungry for one of my favourite foods- Mussels! Or, as the French call them- moules frites. We ended up at Chez Alain just as a magnificent sunset was being painted on the horizon. The menu had two pages of Mussels- my son and I went for plates of Indienne and Corsoise. I usually dislike hyperbole, and I would not blame you, reading this review, for raising your eyebrows now. But these mussels at Chez Alain are to die for- because when you eat them you will think you had died and gone to heaven. And that is all I have to say about Chez Alain in Corsica.
