A wonderful driftwood gem. Superb seafood. Not to be missed and difficult to leave. Call the day before, it helps Marie Noel calculate numbers in advance. Dinghy service.

Paillote de Eric is amazing and one of my most favorite memories in Corse. After hiking on the cap we came to this spectacular beach front setting for a refreshment, lunch of fresh seafood and cafe gourmand all under thatched roof huts with sand between our toes. The staff worked hard and was charming. Speaking in French and having cash always a plus in desolate parts of mainly uninhabited islands. Walking on the beach after lunch was incredible and relaxing. We plan to return this summer for a bite to eat and swim in the sea, by any means necessary. Thanks for having us.

We had lunch with grilled langoustine for lunch, although reviews were not high, we gave it a “shot” and we didn’t regret it. The food was tasty, the service was quick and very friendly. We had a great time. Thank you!
