Here, the sea is at the center of everything.
Welcome to Porto-Vecchio. This ancient Genoese city has withstood every barbarian invasion. Destroyed and rebuilt, the town’s citadel stands as a proud symbol of Corsica. Another source of pride is the Casadelmar restaurant: a dining experience with the sea at its (very) heart.
Don’t let the bewitching view of the bay, nor the setting of this superb hotel, distract you—the real wonder happens on the plate! Chef Fabio Bragagnolo navigates between Corsica and Italy. Among his signature dishes is the ‘dentex cannelloni with crab, caviar, fresh vegetables, and San Giuliano citron.’
The raw fish, sliced into thin strips, is filled with flaked crab meat and topped with a delicate line of briny caviar. The result offers breathtaking freshness to the palate. It is a work of master craftsmanship that continues right through to the desserts, which are low in sugar and immensely refined.
