Fresh, local produce for gourmet cuisine
A chef with a curiosity for his region
First, let us introduce you to one of the heroes of this story. His name is Gadio El Hadji. Originally from Senegal, the chef at U Capu Biancu found in Corsica the colors and flavors necessary to exercise his culinary talent. Curious, a lover of local products, and eager to experiment with new gourmet combinations, our chef naturally took to the region's cheeses, meats, fish, and other delicacies. More than that, he decided to highlight their freshness and quality by creating original and delicious recipes. Certainly the best way to recognize the hard work of the producers.
Committed local producers
These are the other main protagonists of this love story: Ghjuvan Albertini, a fisherman from Bonifacio; Antoine Buresi and his charcuterie from Azilone; Marie Finidori and her goats from Figari; Honorine Pietri, the queen of Bonifacio peanuts; and Thomas Marchellesi and Stéphane Rogghi, cheese producers from Figari and Bonifacio respectively. The work of these local producers is above all a matter of commitment. A commitment that reflects the island's authentic character, its wild yet tender nature. A commitment that is readily reflected in the dishes at the restaurant and the U Capu Biancu beach hut.
