This enchanting little restaurant boasts an amazing terrace that unfolds along the quayside of the port. Chef Thomas Duval works with the catch supplied by his fisherman brother, which he brilliantly combines with other ingredients to create dishes throbbing with contrasting flavours. Examples include crunchy wild prawns, panko breadcrumbs, fregola of veggies, herbs, sweet-sour sauce or low-temperature fillet of umbrine in a lemony sauce of capers and parsley with courgette fritters.

Chez Parenti has been around since 1935, its kitchens successively manned by generation after generation of the same family! Those who love seafood are in for a treat – lobster and langoustines sold by weight, fish caught in the bay – but, to cater to all palates, there is also a small selection of Corsican meats, as well as an array of wonderful local cheeses. The cooking is technically on point and the dishes are nicely put together. Enjoy your meal in the comfort of the large shaded terrace that faces the Gulf of Valinco and the boats at anchor.
