Restaurant “le Maquisard”
In our cosy a la carte restaurant “le Maquisard”, you can sit and enjoy the season’s specialties, cooked from the freshest of produce.
Le Maquisard is the French expression for a Corsican privateer. Corsica, the ‘Ile de beauté’, is mostly covered by a quite impenetrable vegetation, the maquis. During spring, the maquis blooms with astonishing beauty and a pleasant spicy aroma. Under the summer sun it scorches into a prickly “safety net”, to preserve its vitality for the coming year. The impenetrable maquis used to be the hidingplace of the proud privateers. When the Corsican soil became too hot for their feet, they retreated to the maquis.
The overwhelming flora and fauna of their beautiful island; wild vegetables, olives, spices, wild pig, soft chestnuts, were the food of their table. Many a time they accompanied their meals with a glass of the dark heady Sartène wine.
Le Maquisard, an obstinate privateer.
