La Bodega
A small family restaurant in Bonifacio's upper town, ranked first in Bonifacio on TripAdvisor, serving affordable, authentic Corsican home cooking.
At No. 1 Carrotu Avenue in the upper town, near the Church of Saint John the Baptist, this family-run restaurant is tiny, with only a small terrace. It focuses on authentic Corsican home cooking: Bonifacio-style eggplant stuffed with Corsican cheese, fig sausage terrine, eggplant and goat-cheese lasagna, wild boar stew, and Corsican cold-cut and cheese platters. A myrtle liqueur is often served after the meal. Expect about 20–30 euros per person, one of the best-value choices in Bonifacio. Seating is limited, so phone reservations are recommended. It's about a 10-minute uphill walk from the harbor.
Opening hours
