The restaurant Au Bon Clocher is one of the best places in Canari to have lunch or dinner in the village, with a menu featuring a mix of Corsican cuisine, grilled meats, fish, seafood, and house specialties. Thanks to its live fish tank, the restaurant is able to serve Cap Corse lobster, subject to availability.

Homestyle cuisine blending the best of land and sea

The chef creates traditional Corsican cuisine that is hearty and authentic. Every dish is prepared in-house, with special attention paid to the quality of the ingredients. The menu features an abundance of seafood and shellfish—many sourced directly from the restaurant's live tank—as well as grilled meats, pasta, and island specialties.

Corsican charcuterie made from Nustrale pigs

The Corsican charcuterie served at Le Bon Clocher is made from Nustrale pigs, raised free-range and fed on acorns and chestnuts. It comes primarily from the Bazziconi family in Rapale and features an assortment of coppa, lonzu, and sausage.

Goat and sheep cheeses from Canari and elsewhere

Among the signature appetizers, the cheese fritters and pasta with brocciu are made from goat's milk supplied by Patrick Gassmann in Canari or sheep's milk from Sabrina Lorenzi, an award-winning shepherd in Paris. Depending on availability, a selection of Corsican cheeses may accompany the dishes or be served as platters to share: AOP brocciu, niolu, bastelicaccia, sartenais, or venacais, to name just a few.

Cape Corsica lobster, products from the fish tank

The restaurant offers dishes with a seaside flair, such as tagliatelle with seafood, grilled fish depending on the catch of the day (sea bream, sea bass, John Dory), king prawns, and, of course, Cap Corse lobster, prepared the chef's way. These ingredients take center stage in simple, seasonal, and flavorful dishes.

Corsican desserts and house specialties

To end on a sweet note, the dessert menu features several classics of Corsican pastry, such as fiadone, pastizzu, and chestnut crème brûlée. Other treats round out this gourmet selection: lemon mousse with canistrelli, frozen nougat, tiramisu, panna cotta…all homemade.
