L'ortu - Vescovato

Incredible place to have a lunch. The owners are very kind and everything was great, from main dishes to desserts. The best restaurant we found on the island. Highly reccomended!!

We enjoyed our Saturday lunch here. It’s a small restaurant located on the narrow road linking Vescovato and Venzolasca with limited parking in front. There are several tables outside next to a grass flower garden and more tables inside. We ordered galette with herbs and garden veggies, and a ratatouille with french fries. Both tasted good but not outstanding. The galette (actually 3 buckwheat patty cakes) lacked flavor. The side of veggies was good but small. The ratatouille tasted much better but the portion was also very small. It came with a pile of homemade french fries. I would have preferred the opposite – a larger portion of ratatouille and a smaller portion of french fries. Each dish was garnished with some lettuce. Overall, we expected our dishes to be flavored with more herbs and spices. If you enjoy great French bread, the sliced rye-type bread that came with our meal was not very good. It was plain, dry, and not chewy. We skipped the numerous homemade desserts which did look delicious. Prices here are high for the amount of food you get. Service is very friendly and efficient. The best part of our lunch was walking around the little garden taking photos of the flowers and trees. As dedicated bio-vegetarians, we had high hopes for this restaurant but walked away a little bit disappointed and a little bit hungry too.

The food was light, healthy, and vegetarian-friendly. It was exactly what we were craving for after days of eating heavy Corsican food. We were so happy that our B&B host told us about this place. The restaurant used organic produce from their own farm and the food was prepared with care and from fresh ingredients. It reminded us a lot of San Francisco, where we are from. We absolutely loved it. It was the best dinner we had in Corsica.

The pork roast was extremely tender, all the other food was very good, too. Prices are corsican, but unlike many other places, you get decent quality for your money. More upsides: very nice garden, friendly service and all organic. I loved it!

Being a vegetarian is really very difficult in Corsica... That was the reason we drove all the way up to this organic farm. We had a very nice meal suitable for veggies and non-veggies!!!! We even came back the next day....
