Interesting place with a HUGE seating area and HUGER menu. Came here on a busy Saturday night…read more There was a little miscommunication with the waiter which landed me in the smoking section (that's still a thing here), but it was a lot quieter than the non-smoking section so I didn't mind much. Service was a bit slow but the place was hopping so I don't fault the waiters. The dinner on the other hand .... eh. I ordered a Corsican specialty which was squid in red sauce with rice (I don't think they grow rice in Corsica but let's overlook that for now.) Perhaps it's because I'm too used to fried calamari but squid tasted odd to me. The red sauce was OK but the rice didn't match the dish at all IMO, so I used the liberal side of bread they provided instead. The dessert of raspberry ice cream was very good. Was going to give them a 4 but then the waiter corrected my grammar on the way out (and had a tone about it). C'mon, I'm in your country attempting to speak your language, could have been a little nicer about my faux pas of "soir" vs "nuit"

The restaurant is surrounded by trails around Parata tower, which is a local attraction and frequented both by tourists and locals. So by definition the restaurant serves hikers (like me) who want to eat back the calories we just burned on a hike, so attire is pretty casual. The service was good - they have indoor and outdoor (covered) seating. The food was standard French fare - nothing crazy fancy, but very tasty all the same. I got mussels with fries, which was very nice. And then I sat back and enjoyed THAT VIEW!!!!!!! One small note is that I believe their name now is "brasserie sanguinaire". I would totally come here again if I were ever in town. Although most people drive here I think, I took a bus from downtown that lets off nearby - it's quite walkable from that point.

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.
