The U Capu Biancu restaurant is synonymous with envy. The desire to sit in a restaurant in Bonifacio, a restaurant by the sea. To discover the cuisine of chef Gadio El Hadji. To enjoy it until you’re absolutely full. To savour something fresh and authentic. To satiate the eyes with the immensity of the Mediterranean. To taste and to know.
U Capu Biancu restaurant: Its Chef, Gadio El Hadji
First, let’s get to know the chef, Gadio El Hadji!
Who is this unconditional devotee of culinary fusion? The genius who has been delighting diners at this restaurant in southern Corsica for over thirty years? Thirty years! Can you imagine? Thirty years of blending African and Corsican flavours. The spicy, colourful delights of his native land, and the sweet, fragrant ones of his heartland. Thirty years of ‘Black soup’, divinely cooked fish and meat, tasty and refined dishes. Thirty years of ingenuity and… great swing.
U Capu Biancu restaurant: ‘sustainable’ and responsible cuisine
There’s the chef’s talent. Undeniable. Then there’s the freshness and authenticity of the ingredients. A very simple fact. An obvious choice when you consider the ‘identity’ philosophy of the 4-star U Capu Biancu hotel.
Here, we buy from local producers: fishermen, breeders, beekeepers and wine growers.
Here we’ve created a permaculture farm to garnish our plates with ‘nustrale’ vegetables, fruit and aromatic herbs.
A vineyard has even been planted here on limestone soil, and the grapes are harvested by hand.
Above all, nothing is wasted. Everything must be preserved: the land and the flavours.
U Capu Biancu restaurant: its baker and pastry chef, Tarik
So of course, what would the table of a 4-star restaurant be without the sweetness of home-made desserts? Without the softness and crispness of homemade bread? What would the U Capu Biancu sea view restaurant be without Tarik? Tarik who invents, shapes, kneads and seasons. Combines Morocco and Corsica. Tarik whose creations are devoured with appetite and greed.

As soon as you sit down on the terrace of the U Capu Biancu restaurant in Bonifacio, you want to know: how is this possible? Yes, how is it possible to bring together so many colours, so much brilliance and so much natural beauty in one place? Whatever the answer, the truth is there for all to see: the sea as far as the eye can see, the maquis as a setting, and a protective limestone overhang that on the island of Corsica is known as… U Capu Biancu.
PS: in summer, the U Capu Biancu straw hut opens its doors. You can also enjoy Gadio’s cuisine and Tarik’s delicacies. You can also contemplate the sea. There’s no better way to enjoy these moments in life.
