Europe France Bonifacio Dining Lan'K

Overview

Lan'K

The guide was updated: 2025-06-23

This fine establishment serving up local favourites will make your mouth water and your heart flutter. The rustic yet well-kept decor here creates a charming atmosphere and the jauntily moustached owner breathes life into the place, regaling tales of the old town as it once was. The presentation of the dishes is just as characterful as the owner, who plates up meat and fish in various interesting ways alongside colourful accoutrements.

La Caravelle

La Caravelle

What makes this gourmet restaurant and hotel truly unique is the location, nestled within the historic confines of a 13th century chapel. The cooks of La Caravelle, led by Anthony Bourguignon create inspired dishes using freshly caught fish and other sumptuous local ingredients. Sea urchins, lobsters, and sardines are delicately woven into risottos, linguinis and raviolis to bring the taste of the sea to the table in style. Make a pass at the Oyster Bar or hold out until Tapas Hour for something a bit different.

Le Voilier

Le Voilier

This elegant floating restaurant recognised by the Michelin Guide can be found within the marina, right where the catch of the day comes in. Creativity and authenticity are on full display here, as seafood specialties and juicy meat dishes are enriched with local vegetables and fresh herbs. The octopus and lobster are particularly well done in Le Voilier but as one might expect of such esteemed cuisine, they don't come cheap.

Aria Nova

Aria Nova

With trendy decor and inventive dishes, Aria Nova presents itself as a chic, modern venue. The kitchen is helmed by a Breton chef renowned for his mastery of Corsican cuisine. Expect homemade delights served with freshly baked bread, reimagined in a novel and sophisticated manner. On top of that, it is also an enchanting spot right next to the Tourism Information Centre with prices that cater to the mid-range budget.

Les Quatre Vents

Les Quatre Vents

This highly decorated restaurant away from the major touristy areas is known for its quality, warmth and value for money. During the summer months at Les Quatre Vents, a good selection of fresh seafood and vegetables are on offer, whilst in winter its focus shifts to traditional, more hearty Corsican cuisine. The friendly owners and staff, along with the picturesque view over the harbour add to a special atmosphere here. Be sure to try the pasta alla ruota to witness a cheesy dream come to life within a giant parmesan wheel.

La Place

La Place

This hip little burger joint is a great spot to mingle with the younger crowd of Bonifacio over a thick meaty patty and some crispy homemade fries. La Place is conveniently located just below the steps to the citadel so its a great station to refuel for those gearing up to tackle them. If their burgers won't cut the mustard, maybe the pizza, seafood, crepes or tantalising deserts here will.

Kissing Pigs

Kissing Pigs

Nestled in the cliffs alongside the port to the North of the city, Kissing Pigs is a typical Corsican restaurant open all year round. The owners know exactly where to get all the best local products so come here for charcuterie boards, farmhouse cheeses, grilled meats, fresh salads and traditional themed menus.

Lan'K

Lan'K

This fine establishment serving up local favourites will make your mouth water and your heart flutter. The rustic yet well-kept decor here creates a charming atmosphere and the jauntily moustached owner breathes life into the place, regaling tales of the old town as it once was. The presentation of the dishes is just as characterful as the owner, who plates up meat and fish in various interesting ways alongside colourful accoutrements.

Ciccio

Ciccio

Tuck into a mouth-watering steak and wash it down with a rich, fruity glass of wine in one of the most popular restaurants amongst the Bonifacio locals. Although prices might seem a little steep at Ciccio, the class and quality on offer here justify the extra pennies spent. The courtyard terrace is the ideal spot to sit quietly in the shade and savour the robust smells erupting from the kitchen, making their way through the cavernous interior.

Stella D'Oro

Stella D'Oro

The well balanced menu at Stella D'Oro showcases an array of both seafood and meat dishes, but the house specialties such as Aubergines à la Bonifacienne and Lasagnes au Four are an absolute must. Customers are invited to scour the long wine list for the perfect pairing to complement these idiosyncratic house favourites. The price might be a little high but well worth it for the Michelin Star quality.

U Castille

U Castille

This quirky restaurant can be found at the family run Colomba Hotel in the heart of Old Town, overlooking the cliffs that sit below the citadel. Their menu features traditional Corsican cuisine and the chef is more than happy to recommend some of his specialities such as the Bonifacio eggplant dish and a mini-crayfish spaghetti. The cute and compact outdoor terrace is a great place to relax with a pitcher of local wine whilst admiring the expansive coastline of one of the most beautiful areas on the island.

Cantina Doria

Cantina Doria

Not just another tourist trap that one might expect of the area, Cantina Doria is a very simple and traditional restaurant with antique memorabilia hanging from the walls to give the place a unique, offbeat identity. Enjoy simple homemade food for a fair price or try a comprehensive three course meal to get the most out of the venue. There are a few more vegetarian options here than in other places so it may appeal more to the herbivores out there.

Da Rocca

Da Rocca

The one stop shop for steaks of all shapes and sizes, Da Rocca prides itself in being unapologetically geared towards the carnivores of the island. The attentive staff here serve regional specialities as well as homemade pasta in case the stomach needs a break from all that gristle. Try the tiramisu at the end of the meal to top off the experience and leave satiated with a lingering, balanced bittersweet aftertaste.

Chez Marco

Chez Marco

Established way back in 1969, Chez Marco has kept most of the same dishes from over half a century ago on the menu, albeit with some additional modern zest to liven up the old classics. This high-end restaurant specialises in top quality seafood such as Gillardeau oysters, royal lobsters, bouillabaisse, even the mythical blue lobster is rumoured to make an appearance from time to time. The views here are magical from every corner in every direction, making it the perfect package to appreciate the best of Corsican seafood.

Maora Beach

Maora Beach

Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner in front of the sea at this trendy beach club restaurant whilst watching the stream of boats arriving and departing. The service at Maora Beach has been consistently praised and the friendly staff here receive rave reviews from customers who appreciate a simple, speedy meal that passes their quality requirements. Try a poke bowl here for some staying power or the tuna tartare for a light lunch.
