Review on La Villa Corse (Rive Gauche)

A short distance from the Champ de Mars is La Villa Corse Rive Gauche a restaurant serving Corsican cuisine. It has proven so popular that it has opened a second restaurant called La Villa Corse Rive Droite in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The décor is reminiscent of a gentleman's club and is split into three settings, a library, the lounge and the mezzanine. With wood panelling, wooden floors and tables, chandeliers and artwork on the walls this is a very relaxing and elegant restaurant.

The menu changes according to the seasons and the market and a lot of the produce including the wine is sourced from Corsica.

    Very disappointing

    Décor very smartly done, wine list very expensive, menu very limited.
    Extremely disappointing food. Avoid. They can’t even bother to get their menu properly translated in into English. It is rather meaningless although modestly amusing to read. Souris d'agneau braisée à la Pietra = Smile of Lamb braised in Pietra. (Sourire = French for smile of course).
    Overcooked, and actually tough! Somewhat tasteless bean based sauce. Singularly unexciting. Was not tempted to have a dessert.
