Gault&Millau award-winner Quentin Sanchez is preparing to open his ADN restaurant in the heart of Bastia. The establishment will welcome its first customers in mid-March 2025.

Chef Quentin Sanchez is preparing to open his own restaurant, ADN, in Bastia. Working alongside his long-time partner Christophe Avenoso, Sanchez will offer authentic, freshly prepared cuisine. While Christophe Avenoso will be in charge of the sweet side, with homemade breads and ice creams, Quentin Sanchez will be in charge of the ovens, showcasing the richness of the island's gastronomy.

A cuisine inspired by Corsica

Passionate about local produce and true to his own culinary approach, Quentin Sanchez aims to offer"a cuisine based on the richness of our products and know-how. There's no need for frills, 15 condiments or a lot of manipulation. The aim is to go straight to the essentials, focusing on the tastes and nuggets that surround us. We'll also be making recipes that are typical of our terroir, but I don't want to lock myself into this box, or revisit these recipes at all costs. it could happen... but it doesn't have to. Above all, I want to cook the way I'd like to be served, with sincerity and heart."

ADN will adopt a dual culinary identity: at lunchtime, the establishment will take on the allure of a convivial bistro, while in the evening, it will be transformed into a gastronomic table. Plates will feature seasonal fish, longline-caught by sailors loyal to the chef, as well as 100% organic field-grown vegetables by neighbor and producer François Fonti.

A career marked by beautiful island homes

Born in Besançon on November 28, 1991, Quentin Sanchez moved to Corsica at an early age. After obtaining a BTS in 2015 in Bastia, he perfected his culinary art at the Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa for six years before exploring other facets of the restaurant business, notably as a private chef and caterer. He then distinguished himself at La Litorne, a Bastia institution. Before launching his own restaurant, he spent two years at La Corniche (2 toques), one of Bastia's gastronomic benchmarks.

Eagerly awaited, ADN has already attracted the attention of the Gault & Millau guide, which decided to honor Quentin Sanchez by awarding him a Jeune Talent prize even before the restaurant's official opening, scheduled for mid-March. A strong signal for this project, which promises to breathe new life into Bastia's gastronomic scene.
