Les Américains

Les Américains is the restaurant of the Castel Brando, a hotel set in a nineteenth century mansion in Erbalunga, the old fishing village of Brando on the east coast of Cap Corse, about fifteen minutes north of Bastia. The name comes from the house itself. It is one of the 'maisons d'américains' of the cape: built in 1853 by a Corsican doctor who had served in the Napoleonic armies, it was later taken over and embellished by a man from the village who came home from Saint Domingue after decades abroad and planted the exotic park of palms, cedars and other trees that still surrounds it. Joëlle and Jean Paul Pieri bought the ruined family house in 1990 and restored it. The kitchen describes its food as simple and full of flavour, built on a careful choice of the best producers on Cap Corse and inspired by the island's own cooking, between the mountains and the Mediterranean. The idea at the table is to eat together and share local classics at the foot of the old house, with wines from the region alongside. Dinner is served every evening except Wednesday, and in season there is also a lunchtime table d'hôte that does not need a booking; for dinner, online reservation is available. The restaurant is open to people who are not staying at the hotel. Around it are a shaded inner patio with a centuries old olive tree, a vaulted library lounge, two pools and private parking, and the hotel welcomes pets. From a holiday home in Sisco it is a short drive south for an unhurried evening meal.
