Le Refuge Cartalavonu sur Porto-Vecchio

A very nice place and a warm welcome. The suckling pig was excellent and could have been served with seasonal vegetables rather than May peppers... Excellent fiadone, thank you!

A true haven of tranquility in this very peaceful place with a magnificent view. The meal served was good and plentiful. However, the rooms leave much to be desired; cleanliness is questionable. Six people in 12 square meters—they clearly prioritize profit.

Superb gîte and a fantastic dinner!! Delicious pistou soup and superb service!

Having never had the chance to try this place, despite being islanders (though living on the north side) and being on holiday in the south, we decided to stop by. It was a wonderful discovery, starting with the location and the restaurant itself. We were served by a very friendly waitress who took excellent care of us, as well as all the other customers that day. The owner, also very friendly, came to check if everything was alright, if the food was good, and if there was enough of it. I must admit that being islanders and being able to speak Corsican in our native language is incredibly rewarding and makes it easy to connect with people. (Unfortunately, there aren't many places left where we can speak Corsican.) My dish (stuffed eggplant) was so delicious that I ordered seconds because I enjoyed it so much. From the charcuterie platter (the large one) that we shared as a family, to the main courses and desserts, everything was a delight. I had a coffee, and my wife and I enjoyed a digestif after a lovely and delicious meal. It's worth noting, and this is becoming increasingly rare, that the coffee and digestifs were complimentary, which was a very nice touch. The final bill was quite high, but considering everything we ordered, it was reasonable given the quality of the ingredients and the food. I highly recommend this place.

We ate very well, local produce, excellent service, thank you

A somewhat dreary but wonderfully calm and very pleasant place with dynamic and welcoming staff. I highly recommend it; I will cherish excellent memories of it.

Very good restaurant, great atmosphere

Extraordinary meal, sublime setting, top-notch service—everything was perfect. A thousand thanks again for serving us despite the late hour. We will gladly return.

We thoroughly enjoyed it! Excellent value for money!

A typical restaurant with authentic cuisine and friendly service. You feel right at home, and the food is delicious, plentiful, and satisfying. It's a bit of a drive to get there, but you'll discover the real Corsica, far removed from tourist clichés.
