Restaurants, cafes and bakeries in Rogoznica

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.

Le Pirate

Brando · Fish and seafood · Lunch · Dinner

Le Port, 20222 Brando

+33495332420

Le Pirate stands at the harbour in Erbalunga, among waterfront houses and the rocky shoreline beneath the village's Genoese tower. Its cooking brings together seafood and meat through an à la carte selection and several tasting menus. The setting places the restaurant within the small fishing village itself, with the marine landscape forming part of the experience. On the published menu, langoustine tortellini are paired with hazelnut and shellfish, while John Dory comes with olive oil and cauliflower. Monkfish combines smoked flavours with seasonal vegetables and a sauce involving both shellfish and meat. The meat dishes have equally specific accompaniments: veal with carrots and thyme, pigeon with beetroot and raspberry, and beef fillet with crisp Anna potatoes and nori. These combinations give a useful sense of a kitchen that works across the island's land and sea. The tasting formats include four, six and eight courses, with seasonal inspiration and a progression through savoury dishes to pastry. Cheese can form another part of the meal, with Corsican selections appearing alongside those from mainland France. Desserts explore combinations such as smoked chocolate, lemon, miso caramel and pecans, or pistachio with financier, strawberry and sorbet. Wine pairings offer a choice between Corsican and mainland selections. A children's menu is also available. Tables can be reserved directly by telephone, and the contact form includes a space for allergies. The result is a harbour restaurant with a carefully structured menu and a distinctly ingredient-led approach.

Micca Nome

Bastia · Fish and seafood · Dinner · Takes reservations

10 Rue Pino, 20200 Bastia

+33495343316

Micca Nome is a Corsican restaurant on Rue Pino in Bastia's market quarter. Its menu keeps the island's language alongside its food, with dishes listed under Corsican headings for starters, main courses and desserts. Fresh cheese fritters and anchovies prepared in the Bastia style introduce a selection that moves between cured meats, pasta and seafood. The charcuterie comes from Joseph Borragini and sons in Murato, with coppa, lonzu and sausage named on the menu. A larger platter adds terrine and cheese fritters. Main courses include pasta with bottarga, veal with olives and penne, wild boar in sauce with mafaldine, and cannelloni filled with brocciu. Seafood has several forms here: sardines stuffed with brocciu, squid in sauce with rice, fish soup, and a fisherman's plate combining soup with fish fillets, cuttlefish, prawns and mussels. Lamb shank with figs and honey offers another route through the menu. Children have their own small selection, including buttered pasta or a fried egg with fries. Desserts continue the Corsican thread with fiadone, pastizzu and chestnut crème brûlée, alongside hazelnut tiramisu and a cheese plate. The wine list ranges across the island, including Saparale, Domaine de la Punta, Gioielli, Clos Capitoro and producers from the Calvi area. Tables can be booked directly by telephone or email. The address, food and wine together make this a focused introduction to Corsican cooking within the old market neighbourhood.

La Table des Gouverneurs

Bastia · Mediterranean · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian

3 bis rue des Turquines, 20200 Bastia

+33495471010

La Table des Gouverneurs is the restaurant of Hôtel des Gouverneurs in Bastia’s citadel, overlooking the Old Port and the Mediterranean. It welcomes visitors as well as hotel residents. A panoramic terrace brings the harbor into view, while the interior combines contemporary furnishings with traditional touches. In cooler weather, the lounge with its fireplace offers another setting for a meal. The kitchen centers on homemade cooking, seasonal produce and ingredients selected from Corsican suppliers, with Mediterranean influences running through the dishes. The menu gives those local connections tangible form. Crostini use organic bread from A Pagnotta in Bastia, paired with dried tomato, basil and burratina. Fresh cheese fritters feature cheese from A Tinella in Lucciana, while a charcuterie selection brings together sausage, coppa, lonzu and ham. Seafood choices include sea bass with grilled vegetables and octopus paired with Iberian chorizo and chickpea piperade. Lamb is accompanied by pea hummus and mint, and the seasonal risotto can be prepared in a vegetarian version. Desserts range from a chocolate creation to an apricot tartlet with rosemary, black sesame and meringue. Another option combines vanilla ice cream, canistrelli, almonds, coffee and whipped cream. Corsican cheeses with fig jam provide a savory finish. The wine list includes bottles from Corsica and mainland France, while the hotel bar develops cocktails around fresh ingredients and spirits from small distilleries. A separate children’s menu offers breaded chicken with potatoes followed by ice cream. Reservations are available online or by telephone.

Côté Jardin

Bastia · Burgers · Fish and seafood · Cakes and pastries

Jardin de l’Annonciade, Chemin de l’Annonciade, 20200 Bastia

+33495654564

Côté Jardin occupies a leafy corner of Bastia’s Jardin de l’Annonciade, where a wooden terrace and parasols give the restaurant something of a beach pavilion’s atmosphere. Trees and lawns surround the tables, while a children’s play area stands beside the terrace. The setting makes the garden part of the meal: somewhere to sit together outdoors, with space around the table and greenery beyond it. The restaurant was conceived by Michel and his nephew Jean-Louis as a gathering place for families and people working in the city. The kitchen combines familiar restaurant dishes with ideas from contemporary street food, using fresh, seasonal ingredients for homemade preparations. Its published menu ranges from a chicken bowl with breaded goat cheese, sweet potato and avocado to pulled beef in pita bread and pork ribs with a house marinade. A classic burger comes with cheddar, tomato and onions. Other choices include pumpkin cream gnocchi with grilled pancetta, crunchy vegetables with Chinese noodles, prawn skewers and pasta combining octopus with sausage. These combinations give the menu variety without tying the restaurant to a single national cuisine. Desserts are another substantial part of the offer. Paris-Brest and a coconut, strawberry and lemon entremet appear alongside a selection of ice creams and fruit sorbets, including Corsican clementine. The restaurant also arranges private celebrations such as birthdays, baptisms and communions, including a personalized cake. Tables can be requested through its reservation form or by telephone.

Le Proposte is a family restaurant in the hamlet of Corano, in Borgonovo Val Tidone, in the hills of the province of Piacenza. Its beginning is unusual and the family tells it plainly: twenty-five years ago Danila and Luigi, with their daughter Manuela, bought a farmhouse in a panoramic position meaning it to be a second home. Cooking took over. In the year 2000 the house opened as a restaurant, and it has been run by the family ever since. The kitchen is traditional and the work is done on the premises: cured meats are aged in the restaurant's own cellars, the pasta is made in the house, and the ingredients are handled daily rather than bought prepared. In this part of Emilia that is not a marketing line — salumi and hand-made pasta are what the province is known for, and doing both in-house is the difference between a country restaurant and a country restaurant worth driving to. The dining room seats about forty. In summer lunch and dinner are served on the panoramic terrace, which is the reason the farmhouse was bought in the first place. It is closed on Monday and Tuesday. From Wednesday to Saturday it serves lunch from half past twelve to two and dinner from eight to eleven; on Sunday the evening ends an hour earlier. Booking is sensible in a room of forty seats. You will find Le Proposte at Frazione Corano 35, 29011 Borgonovo Val Tidone, Piacenza.

La Palta stands in Bilegno, a hamlet so small that the restaurant describes itself as a hidden gem behind uneven walls — set among gentle hills, kitchen gardens and old houses in the province of Piacenza. The building gives nothing away from the road, which is part of how the place presents itself. The cooking is ambitious rather than rustic, and the house says so in its own words: the eyes come before the nose and the palate. Unexpected combinations are the method. Two dishes stand for the range — tortelli con la coda, the tailed parcels that are the signature pasta of Piacenza and are folded here in the traditional way, and black ravioli served in an exotic broth that belongs to no local tradition at all. The kitchen is run by a female chef, and the house describes eating here as travelling between the smells of home and inspirations from far away. Gift vouchers for a lunch or dinner are sold through the restaurant's own site. Service runs Tuesday to Saturday, lunch from half past twelve to half past two and dinner from eight to ten. On Sunday there is lunch only, and Monday it is closed. Booking is advisable: the room is small and the restaurant draws people from well beyond the province. You will find La Palta at Frazione Bilegno 67, 29011 Bilegno, Piacenza.

Agriturismo Il Negrese Restaurant

Ziano Piacentino · Italian · Takes reservations · Parking

Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Julia Filirovska / Pexels

Località Negrese 308, 29010 Ziano Piacentino

+390523864804

Agriturismo Il Negrese is a family-run farm and winery in the hills of Ziano Piacentino. Its restaurant is part of the same property as the guest accommodation, making it the natural first dining address for guests staying at Il Negrese. The dining room was created in the farm's former barn, preserving a connection with the building's working history. The kitchen focuses on the traditions of Piacenza rather than a broad international menu. Handmade pasta, homemade bread and cakes are central to the offer described by the local tourism authorities. The farm's own wines accompany the cooking, so a meal can also introduce visitors to the local wine-growing landscape around Ziano. This is a place to contact in advance. The official tourism listing describes meals as available by reservation on both weekdays and holidays, without promising a fixed daily walk-in schedule. Ask what the kitchen is preparing, whether a set menu applies and how dietary requirements can be accommodated. An overnight stay does not automatically mean that dinner is included in the accommodation price. Use the full Località Negrese 308 address and the agriturismo's published telephone number when arranging your visit. The dining building and guest rooms are adjacent, while visitors staying elsewhere can enquire about a restaurant reservation. Reserved parking is listed by the tourism office. For a group meal or a visit centered on the wines, discuss the arrangements directly before traveling into the hills.

Wed–Sat 12:00–14:00, 19:30–21:00; Sun 12:00–14:00; Mon, Tue Closed

Casa Galli is a farmhouse restaurant on the hillside at Albareto above Ziano, in the Val Tidone, where the family has cooked for guests since 1997 and the view from the terrace is vineyards down to the valley. The dining room is old stone with a fireplace and candles; in summer the tables move out under the porticoes, and there is a play area for children, which makes it an easy Sunday lunch for families. The food is Piacenza cooking without shortcuts: house cured meats, gnocco fritto, tortelli and pisarei made in the kitchen, roasts, and the Gutturnio of the hills to drink. It opens Wednesday to Sunday, lunch and dinner except Sunday evening; there are rooms and apartments for anyone who wants to stay after the wine.

Mon Closed; Tue Closed; Wed Closed; Thu Closed; Fri 20:00–22:00; Sat 12:30–15:00, 20:00–22:00; Sun 12:30–15:30, 20:00–22:00

La Colombaia is an agriturismo above Ziano Piacentino, in the westernmost of the Piacenza valleys. The land was in the family for years before Guido turned it into an agriturismo, and the kitchen is described by the house as cucina piacentina doc — the cooking of this province and no other. The estate is arranged for eating outdoors without depending on the weather: three dining rooms stand in the open but under cover, all of them looking out over the valley, with a bar area for drinks and two further rooms inside. That combination is worth knowing in a region where a summer evening can turn without warning. It sits among the hills and is used as a starting point for the country around it — mountain biking, riding and walking all begin at the door, and the valley is crossed by roads that lead through the historical, scenic and gastronomic parts of the province. The Colli Piacentini are wine country: Gutturnio, Ortrugo and Malvasia are grown on these slopes, and Ziano Piacentino is one of the centres of that. Opening is limited and worth planning around. Friday evening only from eight to ten; Saturday lunch from half past twelve and dinner from eight; Sunday the same with lunch running until half past three. Monday to Thursday it is closed. You will find La Colombaia at Località Arcello 1, 29010 Ziano Piacentino.

Locanda San Lupo stands among the hills and vineyards above Ziano Piacentino, and its own line for itself is where taste meets the sunset. That is a fair description of what it sells: the terrace looks out over the vines, and the house treats the evening light as part of the meal rather than as scenery that happens to be there. It is more than a dining room, in its own account — a refuge in the quiet of the hills, where the point is that time slows down. In practice that means it works for two quite different occasions: a family Sunday lunch, and a dinner for two once the lights come on. There is a wine list, which matters here — these slopes are the Colli Piacentini, and Gutturnio, Ortrugo and Malvasia are grown in the fields the terrace looks at. The hours are unusual and worth reading twice: this is an evening restaurant. It serves dinner from eight to eleven every day except Wednesday, when it is closed, and it does not open for lunch at all. Anyone arriving at midday will find the door shut. Ziano Piacentino lies in the Val Tidone, about forty minutes south-west of Piacenza and well inside an hour of Milan, which makes this a plausible evening out from the city as well as a local one. You will find Locanda San Lupo at Strada Comunale Lupo 101, 29010 Ziano Piacentino.

Antica trattoria Del Tempio stands on Via Creta in Vicobarone, a hamlet of Ziano Piacentino in the Val Tidone. The name is the owners' own and says what kind of house it is: a trattoria, and an old one — the everyday restaurant of an Italian village rather than a destination built for visitors. The opening hours describe how it is used. Lunch is served every day except Wednesday, from midday to half past two. Dinner exists on Friday and Saturday only, from eight to ten. A kitchen arranged that way is cooking for people who eat their main meal in the middle of the day, which in this part of Emilia is still most of them, and it means a visitor planning an evening here on a Tuesday will find it closed. Vicobarone sits in the Colli Piacentini, the wine hills between the Po plain and the Apennine ridge. The province is known for three cured meats with protected status — coppa, pancetta and salame piacentino — and for Gutturnio, the red grown on these slopes. Ziano Piacentino is one of the centres of that production, and Vicobarone is one of its hamlets. We hold no website for this trattoria, so nothing is described here about its cooking. The telephone is the way to ask, and to book. You will find it at Via Creta 6, 29010 Vicobarone, Ziano Piacentino.

Zum Fischer am See

Prien am Chiemsee · Fish and seafood · Seating indoors · Seating outdoors

Harrasser Straße 145, 83209 Prien am Chiemsee

+49 8051 90760

Mon–Sun 10:00–22:00

Zum Fischer am See stands on Harrasser Straße at the western shore of the Chiemsee, with water and the Chiemgau mountains shaping the outlook from its summer terrace. The restaurant belongs to a small hotel with fifteen rooms, but its kitchen and waterside setting make it a destination for a meal in their own right. Seasonal cooking sits alongside established house favorites, and local produce is valued without being treated as a restriction on the menu. Fish has a substantial role. A salad topped with fried Chiemsee fish offers one approach, while perch in garlic butter and grilled pike perch with creamed pointed cabbage provide more substantial plates. The published selection also explores Bohemian cooking, with dishes such as garlic soup, mushroom goulash and beef goulash accompanied by dumplings. Meat dishes and game broaden the choice beyond fish, including pork, venison and wild boar preparations. Desserts continue the Central European theme with pancakes filled with apricot jam and sweet dumpling dishes. Availability can change with the fresh products delivered to the kitchen, so the menu is best approached as a seasonal selection. The indoor Stube offers an alternative to the terrace for a more sheltered meal. Both spaces also form part of the house's arrangements for private occasions. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and memorial gatherings can be discussed directly with the team, with settings for around thirty guests. The combination of a lakeside terrace, an intimate dining room and a varied kitchen gives visitors several reasons to pause here during a day around Prien.

Neuer am See combines a restaurant, cafe and pastry kitchen at the family hotel on Seestraße in Prien. The Chiemsee is about two hundred meters away, placing the house near the harbor, the lakeside path and the boats to Herrenchiemsee. Inside, guests can choose between a restaurant with room for around eighty people, a smaller spruce paneled Stüberl, and a bright cafe area beside the cake counter. The Stüberl accommodates about twenty guests and can also provide a private setting for a family occasion or a small meeting. In summer, the terrace offers a choice between the livelier harbor side and the quieter southern side of the building. Food and drinks can be ordered across the different seating areas. The kitchen serves fish from the Chiemsee alongside meat dishes, salads, pasta and vegetarian choices, with seasonal additions appearing on a changing daily menu. The in house bakery is an equally important part of the visit. Fruit cakes, cheesecakes, cream cakes and smaller pastries are made here, along with bread, rolls and pretzels prepared from family recipes. Breakfast brings sweet and savory combinations, eggs, yogurt and fruit into the same broad offering. Coffee and tea, Bavarian beer and a wine selection complete the picture. It is a practical choice when one person wants a full meal and another prefers something from the pastry counter. Takeaway food is also available. For celebrations, the team can prepare tables and arrange menus with the host in advance.

HO Restaurant Rimsting

Priener Straße 8, 83253 Rimsting

+49 8051 91900

Tue–Sun 11:00–14:30, 17:00–22:00; Mon Closed

HO Restaurant on Priener Straße combines Vietnamese cooking with Japanese sushi in Rimsting. The approach gives a table several ways to build a meal: a bowl of broth and noodles, a hot wok dish, or a selection of rolls and fish. Pho is a central part of the kitchen's identity, pairing rice noodles with fresh herbs and a slowly prepared broth. The restaurant describes versions with beef, chicken, tofu or vegetables, making this more than a single fixed dish. Vietnamese starters include crisp spring rolls filled with pork, glass noodles and vegetables, and summer rolls wrapped in rice paper with herbs, salad and a hoisin dip. A green papaya salad with prawns adds another fresh option. Among the warm dishes are fried wheat noodles with egg and seasonal vegetables, udon in red curry, and wok tossed beef with peppers and onions. The sushi selection includes nigiri, sashimi and rolls, with salmon, tuna, prawns, avocado and cucumber appearing in different combinations. Vegetarian sushi is explicitly part of the offer. The room is presented as a warmly lit setting for couples, friends and family meals, with the Chiemgau Alps contributing to the restaurant's sense of place. An online reservation service lets guests arrange a table ahead of their visit. A separate ordering shop provides another way to browse the dishes and place an order. The range is particularly useful for a group whose members want different styles of Asian food while sharing one meal.

Seecafe Toni

Hochstätt 7, 83253 Rimsting

+49 8054 577

Seecafe Toni is a family run cafe and restaurant in Hochstätt, a district of Rimsting on the Chiemsee. The Stöffl family combines food, homemade cakes and holiday apartments at the same address. From the cafe, the view opens towards the lake and the Chiemgau Alps, giving the setting a clear connection to the landscape around it. A large panorama terrace provides an outdoor alternative to the indoor cafe and restaurant during the warmer part of the year. The kitchen works with fresh regional ingredients and offers changing seasonal specials each week. That changing selection sits alongside homemade cakes, so the house lends itself to either a savory meal or a sweet pause during an excursion. Wine and a broader drinks selection offer another reason to settle in and enjoy the outlook. The balance between cooked food and baking makes it possible for companions to choose different kinds of visit while sharing a table. There is no need to make an overnight stay part of the plan: the cafe and restaurant are distinct reasons to come to Hochstätt. For a planned visit, reservations can be requested by telephone or email. Guests arranging an occasion can also discuss events directly with the family. Card payments are accepted only with an EC card, and dogs are not admitted. These practical details are useful to settle before setting off for a meal or a gathering beside the lake.

Kurkuma im Kulturbahnhof

Rimsting · Thai · Vegetarian · Seating indoors

Bahnhofstraße 81, 83253 Rimsting

+49 8051 4049

Kurkuma occupies Rimsting's former station building on Bahnhofstraße, giving a distinctly Thai kitchen an unusual Bavarian home. Chef Biak specializes in food from southern Thailand, with herbs, aromatic roots and layered seasonings running through the menu. The dining room is decorated in a Thai style, but its substantial wooden tables and benches were made from local timber by the building's former owner, Hans Fritz. Outside, the beer garden sits beneath an old lime tree associated with King Ludwig II. The station itself recalls the king's journeys towards Herrenchiemsee, although the main reason to come today is the cooking. Vegetarian spring rolls combine glass noodles, cabbage, carrots and herbs with homemade dipping sauces. A southern Thai chicken and coconut soup uses turmeric, galangal, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves, while a sharper prawn soup brings chili paste and tamarind into the bowl. Salads provide another direction: green papaya with beans and nuts, marinated beef with herbs, or glass noodles with prawns and vegetables. These dishes show the kitchen's range without requiring every guest to choose the same balance of richness and heat. The intimate room has limited capacity, and advance reservations are strongly requested. Bookings should be made by telephone rather than email. The garden offers a different setting for the same restaurant when conditions suit an outdoor meal. Guests should also plan for cash payment, as neither credit nor debit cards are accepted. Dogs are not allowed inside the restaurant.

Via Pasteria on Corso Italia does one thing: pasta. The house motto is "for the love of pasta", and the menu is built around it rather than treating it as the first of several courses — which is a departure from the usual Italian structure and the reason the place works for a quick lunch as readily as for dinner. The list changes with the season, and there is a dish of the month alongside it. Recent examples give the flavour of the kitchen: linguine with organic Parmesan, Sicilian lemon, chives and sturgeon caviar; cold conchigliette with cave-aged pecorino, confit tomatoes, Cerignola olives, Sicilian lemon and crusco pepper; paccheri alla Norma with marinated purple aubergine, twenty-four-month Parmigiano Reggiano from Vacche Rosse cattle and salted ricotta; linguine with clams and bottarga. The ingredients are named down to the breed of cow, which tells you where the attention goes. It is open every day, straight through from midday to half past ten at night, with no afternoon closure — genuinely useful in a city where most kitchens shut between three and seven and a late lunch becomes impossible. Corso Italia runs south from the Duomo towards Porta Ludovica, a few minutes' walk from the cathedral and from the Missori metro stop, so this is easy to reach on foot from anywhere in the historic centre. You will find Via Pasteria at Corso Italia 16, 20122 Milano.

Ristorante Galleria sits inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the glass-roofed arcade that runs between the Duomo and La Scala. That address is the whole of its character: you eat under the iron and glass of the 1870s, in what is arguably the most photographed interior space in Milan, with the mosaic floor and the passing crowd as the setting. One practical point matters more than anything else here, and the restaurant states it plainly on its own site: the only way to reach them is by e-mail, to info@ristorantegalleria.it, and a booking counts only once they have confirmed it by e-mail in return. They do not use WhatsApp or any messaging service. Anyone booking through a third party claiming otherwise is not booking this restaurant. The kitchen is open long hours — from ten in the morning until midnight, every day of the week — so it covers a mid-morning coffee, lunch, an afternoon in the arcade and a late dinner after the opera. Tables stand out in the Galleria itself. The location makes it one of the easiest addresses in Milan to find and one of the hardest to get a table at on short notice: the Duomo metro stop empties directly into the arcade. If you are staying in the centre, you will pass the door whether you plan to or not. You will find Ristorante Galleria at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II 75, 20121 Milano.

The house has been baking since 1986 under the name L'Artigiano del Pane — the craftsman of bread — and it is one of the small number of Milanese food names that became international without leaving: there are Princi bakeries in the United States, Japan, China and Kuwait, all of them selling what the company calls the spirit of Milan. What is sold is bread, pizza, focaccia and pastries, baked through the day rather than in one morning batch, which is why the counter looks different at nine in the morning and at five in the afternoon. Focaccia and pizza al taglio are sold by weight and eaten standing or taken away, and that is how most of the queue uses the place: this is a bakery, not a restaurant, and there is no table service. It opens every day from half past seven in the morning until half past seven in the evening — long hours by Milanese standards, and unusual in covering Sunday. Via Speronari is a short pedestrian street running off Via Torino, inside the block between the Duomo and Piazza Missori. If you are staying in the centre this is the practical answer to breakfast, and a better one than the hotel buffet. You will find Princi at Via Speronari 6, 20123 Milan.
