Terrific casual restaurant serving delicious Corsican fare, mostly sourced locally. We had the charcuterie, veal stew and steak frites - all were outstanding.

Local restaurant I definitely recommend it. The must try are the beignets to share and the sauté de veau. Unfortunately there was no more Veau so we went for the fish recommendation and it was excellent. The grilled octopus was super good

Walking distance from our vacation rental, the food at La Cigale was excellent. Among the 4 of us we tried the grilled octopus salad, burger, salad chèvre chaud, fish plate, and charcuterie. My daughter said the burger might be the best she’s ever had in her life.

The food was delicious, though it could have benefited from more salt. The staff were friendly and helpful, and our meal was served quickly. The meal size was logical, but it was a bit pricey for what you get. One thing that could make us happier would be if they played some background music, which was unfortunately lacking.
