Le Charlie

Le Charlie is a Michelin‑starred restaurant housed in Hôtel Bella Vista in Porticcio. Under its passionate chef it presents an ode to Corsica—refined, luminous and attentive to provenance. The restaurant forms part of the hotel’s wellbeing offer, with private spa access and signature hotel packages. The dining room is sober and refined, finished in light wood with clean contemporary lines and soft lighting. Large openings frame panoramic views over the Gulf of Ajaccio and dramatic sunsets. The atmosphere is intimate and serene, marrying modern minimalism with a Mediterranean palette. Cooking is modern and creative, rooted in Corsican terroir and Mediterranean influences and executed with French technique. The kitchen celebrates seasonal produce—fish freshly caught in the gulf, exceptional Corsican meats, vegetables and sun‑soaked aromatic herbs—and presents them in multi‑course tasting formats. Specialties include roasted langoustine with citrus notes, milk‑fed lamb enhanced by maquis herbs and delicate marine creations featuring gulf fish. Dining is offered as a Signature 4‑course menu, a 5‑course Gastronomic menu and an 8‑course Menu Dégustation, accompanied by a curated wine list highlighting Corsican estates alongside international references.
