Those who want to overlook the promenade and to relax, chat or dream at a perfect night at the Ligurian seaside are strongly advised to stay for a couple of hours at the breezy location called “Safari”, a cocktail bar placed next to the casino on boulevard Lantivy.

Both the food containing Corsican specialties and the cozy atmosphere are essential when talking about a cheaper restaurant called “L'Amirauté” located right on the quayside of Port de Plaisance.

The Port is also the perfect location for “Le Floride” where local fresh seafood is served in an airy dining hall benefiting from an impressive view over the marina.

With such a recommendation no one would resist the temptation of spending a beautiful evening or night there.
