Bastia

Bastia is a day-to-night dining venue located in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighbourhood, set within the beautifully reimagined Hotel Anna & Bel. The restaurant draws inspiration from the sun-drenched shores of Sardinia and Corsica, providing a rustic yet elegant atmosphere that transitions from a leisurely café by day to an upscale restaurant by night. Its flexible event spaces include a charming courtyard, ideal for brunches, cocktail receptions, and formal dinners. The cuisine at Bastia is rooted in Sardinian and Corsican traditions, interpreted through seasonally driven menus that incorporate the abundance of the Mid-Atlantic region. Chef-Partner Tyler Akin and his team balance these Mediterranean influences with a local perspective, showcasing bright new flavours from ancient places. The kitchen reflects Akin’s commitment to exploration and his relationships with local and international suppliers. Bastia’s beverage programme features breezy, playful twists on classic aperitivos and cocktails, with a focus on sustainability. The restaurant also offers a chef tasting menu and specialises in brunch and courtyard events, making it a versatile venue for intimate dinners and larger gatherings.
