Snack Les 3 Piscines - Zonza

We visited this restaurant on a day out to the Piscines Naturalles. The area was absolutely packed and we expected to wait ages for a table, as we arrived around 1pm. But we were seated immediately. The menu is small, but that lets them get the food out ASAP (I mean SUPER fast) which was ideal, as we were starving. We ordered the mozzarella and tomato salad, the tagliatelle with boar, the steak and a kids meal (chicken nuggets the only option). The salad, kids meal and steak were all great. The tagliatelle was so so meat was great, but noodles sauce not so good. We had 4 ice lollies, 2 beers, a large still and small sparkling water. At the end, the bill was 81 Euros, so a little steep and explains why it wasn’t super crowded but worth it for us. The service was good attentive when we needed them, but not rushed.

Near the natural bathing places in the nearby river, this restaurant is beautifully located. The staff is welcoming and the terraces give good protection against the sun. This is a great place to have a refreshing drink or ice cream after or before a swim or walk. To reach this place, you have to take an unpaved road for a couple of kilometers. The road is accessible for two-wheel drive cars, although a bit bumpy at stretches.

We decided to go back and swim in the beautiful Cauv river. There is the restaurant Les 3 Picines at the end of the road. We decided to eat there even though we thought it would be like any beach side restaurant, overpriced and at best decent food. We were surprised to find out we were so wrong! Our waiter was wonderful. He squatted down to take our orders eye level. When Bob ordered the Tagliatelle à la Corse he said it was sanglier (wild boar) this only made Bob happier and our waiter appreciated his enthusiasm. I ordered the Salade Corse which was so beautiful. Red lettuce perfectly dressed sprinkled with pine nuts three different types of Corsican charcuterie, a perfect fried egg, Fig confiture and a generous slice of the special Corsican ewe’s milk cheese, brocciu. Bob’s dish was generous, the wild boar cooked beautify in a delicious sauce. And each our meal cost only 14 euros. A very good deal. The road to the end is not full of pot holes, but plenty of speed bumps! You just cannot see them because the road is dirt and dusty. I just went slow in first and second gear and it was fine. A wonderful day in Corsica!

Beautiful discovery in a natural setting. good local dishes, welcoming and friendly service, we have had a good time.

Meals in a relaxing hypert setting, waitresses are very smiling and simpactic. the dishes are very good and the meats excellent!
