We visited La Fleur de Sel twice during a week in Pinarello, Corsica in September 2015. The front of house service is charming and friendly. The restaurant is small with three lovely tables at the front overlooking Pinarello harbour and beach. The setting is very romantic. We paced ourselves because the food is rich and luxurious. The Black Angus beef is fantastic, matched by the quality of the fresh fish. Unlike other restaurants fish is not priced by the weight, so there are no nasty surprises when the bill arrives. The quality is high and the use of ingredients in dishes contemporary. Wines are excellent and well-priced. Desserts are fantastic - chestnut flour chocolate fondant with ice c...
Much more expensive than the neighbouring restaurants, but it had good reviews, so we "treated" ourselves. Well, something must have changed in the kitchen and not in a good way.

Having visited this area many times , this is the first visit to Fleur de Sel . And although trip advisor had some negative comments local friends said we should try .,, the friends were right ! What a fabulous night fantastic food great service very helpful staff , so good we went again and guess what it was even better . A must visit restaurant .
This is some of the best cuisine we have tasted here. The chef knows how to cook fish and seafood (superb prawns) and there is an excellent selection of Corsican wines. More expensive than the other places on the strip but this is class. Front of house is informative and welcoming without being overwhelming. Go.

Very disappointed . Service completely let down kitchen . Complete lack of understanding of menu, mayonnaise in plastic tubes dumped on table - feel sorry for chef/owner as quality of food ok . Left feeling uncomfortable recommend change of waiting staff ASAP
Every course, every morsel of our meal was excellent. The service was friendly, efficient and informative. We could fault nothing about this restaurant and we left nothing on our plates.
Very well prepared dishes , good wine list. Great service with a very friendly touch by Lili!! Nice fritto misto and grilled filet of Rouget. We will surely come back!!
Great staff and good food.. it was a festival night so restricted menu but staff friendly and food really good

This is a popular lunch bar and has a fair few punters at lunch time.
