Description

In the heart of Ajaccio’s Saint-Jean neighborhood, Joanna Barra and Jean-Marc Maestrati created Casal, offering fast food that remains deeply artisanal and thoughtfully prepared. She is a pastry chef, he is a cook; together, they channel their creative sensibilities into a generous, contemporary, and seasonal cuisine, prioritizing locally sourced vegetables and high-quality French meats. At Casal, the “bowl” concept moves away from classic recipes; each creation is conceived as a full-fledged dish, with careful attention to cooking techniques, homemade sauces, textures, and flavor pairings—such as the bowl with pulled beef, served over Thai rice with leeks, carrots, caramelized onions, and aged Parmesan, or the exotic bowl, featuring herb-infused falafels and mango hummus. For sweet treats, Joanna bakes entirely artisanal pastries on-site, including seasonal fruit tarts, a selection of cookies, and desserts like banoffee. Whether you dine in, take out, or order delivery, Casal is committed to fresh, delicious, and authentic cuisine, where speed never means compromising on quality or homemade preparation.
