Restaurant La Mer - Ota

Unfortunately we had a very unsatisfactory stay. the pizza was left in cheese and I even found a piece of aluminum foil on mine. but the worst was the service: the two waitresses were rude and made us feel something different than welcome. we will. laughing in the future about this evening as it was definitiv unforgettable, but not on a good wise.

Everything was wonderful. the restaurant and the food were authentic. that was fantastic, and the price level was good. we have also reached great service. we had a great experience here.

We went here thanks to the recommendation of tourist guide (Petit Futé that was telling good things about the place, food and service. Actually mentioning that it was the place to go in Porto. This changed a lot since then. The place has not changed,...and for sure it's the best location in town, but it deserves much more than this. First the menu: you could expect sea food and local fish ... not a lot of choice here ... Second the service: not professional, not taking care, ... I'm sure that they can bring it up to the former level but need more attention from the owner to fulfill the tables that were desperately empty ...

Every once in a while, you stumble onto a great restaurant La Mer!! While hiking from village to village on the island of Corscia, we ended up in Porto for two evenings. At the recommendation of the staff at Hotel Costa Rossa, we grabbed...our friends and headed to La Mer. The restaurant is located at the end of the waterfront, and on the second level of a two story building. Dining is outside, and luckily we were seated at the last table on the outside balcony. The views were outstanding, especially as the sun set over the water. Okay, the setting is great, but not to outshine the food and service. First off, the service was impeccable. The waitress and the hostess were two of the more pleasant young people we came across throughout our travels to Corsica. They were helpful, fun, and offered great suggestions. Oh, by the way, if you are a fan of bouillabaisse, order it. It is to die for!! If you go, and I highly recommend you do, either go at 7:00 p.m., or wait until 8:30 p.m. This way, you most likely will be able to grab a table on the exterior balcony overlooking the water. Also, they do take reservations.

Good food and really nice personal. Both the canard and the paella were good. Desserts as well! Very nice atmosfere as well, under cooling trees.
