“ Absolutely magnificent and everything I expected. The venue is nice and cosy with a very nice feel to it. I think the glass floor showing the cellar may have to do with it. The staff was particularly friendly and pleasant. And for the first time for me in France, they volunteered to talk in English. I personally went for the set menu, which meant trying some of the house wine, which was delicious. The food itself was just what I expected. A French culinary experience with a Corsican touch. Whilst I was full by dessert, the chocolate gateau was refreshing and so smooth I couldn’t help myself. Overall, fantastic experience and very much value for money. ”
“ Outstanding food and service :-) we were so stunned about this restaurant that we visited it twice during our stay in the area and even have chosen it for our last day of vacation dinner. I could write a long review but let’s keep it simple…we loved everything about this place and if you have the chance GO THERE (reservation is necessary, likely to be fully booked quickly). Thanks to the team for those beautiful two dinners making our vacation even more perfect ”
“ Perfect, the ambience was really nice, and the service too. Also the food is pretty unique, only a few options, but on point. Nothing to complain about - so clearly recommended!!! One of the best experience on Korsika. ”
“ We had a wonderful dinner for six at this restaurant. It is a bit secluded and away from Ajaccio, however, worth the drive. We enjoyed the food and especially the fish special and the heavenly desserts. Service was prompt and efficient. I would definitely go back here upon my return to Ajaccio. ”
“ Worth the drive for the zucchini blossoms alone. The staff was so friendly and helped us with recommendations and translations. The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. There were two acoustic guitar players / singers which made the atmosphere even more pleasant. Try the beef carpaccio starter! It was really inventive and delicious. ”
“ Wow. Food was amazing and staff unbelievable hospitable. I loved that chef Lucas came to every table during our meal. Highly recommend! ”
“ Nice restaurant by the small creek. Good ambience. Welcoming staffs. Food was great and tasty. The pork cheek and the Octopus salad was delicious. ”
“ Just had a very good meal at this restaurant. All items were freshly made and tasted great. Started with the fried cauliflower, then had a suckking pig haunch with vegetables and fries and ended with a fruit salad. Tonight they had a live three person guitar trio, which made the atmosphere most memorable. Service was also pretty good and the servers are able to communicate in English. ”
