"It's a slightly more upmarket place, in a beautiful area and the food was very good - the Corsican veal was excellent. We had the 3 course dinner which is a bit more expensive than in some of the other places but so the quality of the food warranted it."

We were seated at 7:30 pm in a virtually empty restaurant and ordered the fixed price 'Menu'.The starter arrived promptly but by 9:15, one hour and a quarter later there was still no sign of the main course. Some French diners nearby had had an equally long wait and complained to the owner. My French is not that good but I think he said it was very busy. This was greeted with some derision. The place had filled up by this time but we were watching diners who had arrived after us finishing their desserts and coffees.Two French couples gave up waiting and asked for their bill. Their mains arrived just then but they sent them back.I then asked for our bill, paid for the starters and wine we had had and left.The long wait for food was bad enough but what was worse was the lack of explanation/apology from the owner or the suggestion of an alternative dish. I suspect that having ordered the 'menu' we were low value customers and 'a la carte' customers were getting service before us. Totally unacceptable.
Sitting beneath the old fort on a very warm, balmy evening the four of us enjoyed a very good supper. We shared a plate of local cured meats and cheese as a starter. Not sure I will ever be a fan of goat' s cheese! The local chilled rose wine was a great partner. The lamb main was tender and full of flavour. The staff were friendly and quietly efficient. The evening slipped away. It is so lovely to be able to just sit and chat over a coffee and digestivo at the end of a meal without feeling rushed.
We stayed a couple of days in Algajola, the options for dinner was large. One of the days we ended up in U Castuellu, mainly as is looked nice at a small square with already quite number of customers.We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was haimish, the service was excellent (even though all languages beside French and Italian was an issue). The cuisine was as expected very good.
We chose U Castellu more by coincidence than by choice, as our hotel receptionist had made several recommendations. The place has a lot of charm, and the menu offered everything we were looking for. Not particularly gastronomical, but we had typical Corsican dishes and the waiter's efficiency and sense of humour made it another beautiful dinner in Corsica.
