A Pleasant Surprise

5.00We were on a cruise of the Mediterranean and had a stop in Corsica. We weren't sure what we wanted to do at this stop, so we looked around Viator and found this experience. We were pleasantly surprised with our experience here. My husband, daughter (10 years old), and I all went to the Cave for a 12pm meal and documentary experience. The host, Alex, was wonderful and the meal was delicious. Alex grew up in Corsica, and we learned a lot from him. The hospitality we found in Corsica was the best of any location we visited on our 21 day tour of the Mediterranean, and we agreed if we come back to the Mediterranean, Corsica is on our list to come back. Much of this feeling is because of the hospitality we received during this excursion at the Cave. We learned a lot about Napoleon and Corsica through this experience, and the people who live on this island and the friendliest we have met. The "Cave" restaurant is beautiful and unique, and the screens (that look like picture frames) show the movie we watched during our meal. We personally enjoyed the movie, and before going here we went to Napoleon's house and the Naporama on our own, so we had a foundation for what we were going to see. The movie was a bit of a "drama" and had some unique translation choices to the English version. All that being said, we personally enjoyed it, loved our experience, and would recommend it to others. Just go in with an open mind and be ready to enjoy a delicious salad, meats, cheese, pastries, jam, and dessert if you got the full meal. A drink was also included as well. Hoping we can make it back again in the near future.
Excellence and a big thank you

5.00A truly exceptional immersive experience! This restaurant immersed us in the world of Napoleon in Ajaccio, with an original and very well realized staging. It was fun, interesting and perfectly adapted to a school group. We enjoyed delicious Corsican specialties in a unique setting, which made the moment even more striking. The whole class loved this experience, both for the atmosphere and the quality of the meal. A cultural and gourmet activity that we highly recommend. Thank you for this unforgettable moment!

1.00This is a total waste of money. You pay for a meal of cold cuts and salad with a very small glass of wine or a tiny beer. My wife’s glass was “filled” to about 1/4 and we had to ask for more. I’ve never seen such a small bottle of beer! They stick one reasonable “napoleonic” era hat on one persons head and the rest of you have very cheap plastic hats for the staged group photos. These are then whisked off and put on other heads. You get to watch and “enjoy” three films. One is a rather odd “imagination” of a very young Napoleon meeting Paoli, the great Corsican freedom fighter. So actually this is much more about Paoli than Napoleon. And the third film is a rather dated promo film for the Corsican Tourist Board. And at the end you are shovelled through the gift shop with appropriate Napoleonic tat. Altogether it is a very very strange and disappointing evening.
Very nice and exciting...

Culinary experience not to be missed in Ajaccio

5.00A culinary experience as original as it is instructive! This restaurant stands out for its unique concept mixing gastronomy and historical discovery around the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. The fun side of the tour, combined with a program offered in several languages, makes the experience accessible and captivating for everyone. A real pleasure to (re)discover Corsican local products in such an atypical setting. Not to be missed!
Service is excellent,...

3.00Service is excellent, the staff is very kind and attentive. The food is good but the price is very high for a plate of cold cuts and watch some excerpts from an already existing film.
Excellent 😊

5.00Thank you for your inquiry....but we could not attend: motorcycle breakdown problem. The manager was warned and my personally said that it would be for a next time and authorized me to ask you for a refund of the 2 bookings with meals.... Thank you for your understanding. Dominique Lardinois
