Corsican food, as it seems is really all about overpriced meats and red wines served at…read moretemperatures resembling shallow kiddy pool water in late summer.
In fairness, I have never been to Corsica and therefore you really should completely ignore this review - but somehow I have stumbled into my second Corsican restaurant in France in two days and have found exactly the same thing in both...
This is a lovely little wine bar / bistro in Nice, where the staff are lovely, the music is chilled and there is already a little bacteria brewing starter of garlic dip, toasted bread and a little pizzary thing on every table ready to go.
Starting with a wine - the Domaine Dominici red on recommendation for 7 euros, and it's good! Light, fruity - balanced, nothing to write home about, but drinkable... Only crappy thing is that it's served at above body temperature - causing me to nearly blow in it to cool it down.
The charcuterie plate is 14 euros for a small, and, well frankly a little underwhelming array of three meats - a few bits each and some bread. But it's okay and my hunger has ebbed somewhat.
The meats are fine (not explained) - a little dry and tough little pigs generally, but acceptable.
I don't thing I will go a main dish, or another glass of red served at breast milk temperature, I will explore this town some more...
