Restaurant U Palmentu in Centuri - Cocktail Bar
Refined cuisine prepared by a renowned chef
U Palmentu (du Vieux Moulin) is a restaurant and cocktail bar located below the Hôtel-Restaurant Le Vieux Moulin. This former snack bar, listed in the Gault & Millau 2022-2023 guide, has been transformed by Dominique Cavalli into a chic restaurant where you can sample the refined dishes prepared by David Tannevart, chef and pastry chef.
View of Centuri harbour
The restaurant's terrace overlooks the Port of Centuri, bathed in sunsets on summer evenings. You may prefer the family atmosphere of the terrace opposite the bar, with continuous service. The restaurant's 70 seats can accommodate events, christenings, birthdays and musical evenings.
Open for lunch and dinner from April to October
U Palmentu in Centuri is open from April to the end of September, for lunch and dinner, 7 days a week. Reservations are advisable at the height of the season.

U Palmentu is also a cocktail bar in its own right, with a whole menu of 11 cocktails to be found below. The U Palmentu bar has a wide range of wines, all described by a sommelier.
There are also 21 Corsican beers on offer.
Once a fisherman's cellar turned nightclub, U Palmentu has now evolved into a popular restaurant and cocktail bar in Centuri. Inside, everything has been redone, with the creation of a kitchen and a selection of furniture in Corsican chestnut, all under the direction of Dominique Cavalli, who used to work in the events sector in France, Switzerland and Belgium, on exhibitions themed on New York, California and Japan.
Restaurant Radiche in Bastia
In the spring of 2024, Dumè Cavalli teamed up with a friend to open a restaurant in Bastia's market square - Radiche - which also offers refined cuisine with a philosophy that includes dishes aimed at reducing food waste, as they explain in this instagram post.
