La Caravelle

Prior to our eating experience: We have booked the restaurant visit at the 'La Caravelle' (family of eight) all together with a yacht harbour arrangement (Email confirmation) received. We arrived at the harbour (morning place was available),we visited the restaurant and asked specifically the restaurant management about any harbour fees! The restaurant team stated and confirmed that everything is sorted & arranged, while we were dining that night. We left the harbour the next morning with no issues. Three days later the harbour office contacted us, that the harbour fees were not paid! Back and forth discussions, the restaurant refused to cover the fees, even they have stated this clearly during our restaurant visit. We understand of this experience, that the 'La Caravelle' communication, behaviour and attitude is misleading restaurant customers. Food review: We paid a very high price for our dinner. The La Caravelle food presentation and taste has a lack of ideas, creativity and innovation, compared to well known competition in close proximity at the harbour. The starter ravioli were too salty, the scorpion fish lacked of cooking ideas and the Beaujolais for two (with five fresh fish) offered no innovation. In general our experience was a well overpriced dinner, not matching at all a well known restaurant guide competition in the region. Any guests should not expecting the very nasty and costly aftertaste with the harbour office and La Caravelle receptionist!

Had an amazing dinner with my boyfriend. They even offered us a better table by the port in the middle when it was free. The location is immaculate, great people, food and wine recommendation were on point and the party afterwards was amazing. Outstanding place in Bonifacio and would recommend everyone that loves great food and dancing. Also the owner welcomes you with a coup of champagne and walks around, makes fun and dances. Such a party animal! We will definitely come back!

We stopped by this restaurant for lunch after docking our boat nearby, based on our captain’s recommendation. To be honest, the prices are on the expensive side. However, the staff were incredibly nice and friendly, and the owner even offered us free champagne. I didn’t expect much, but the food turned out to be amazing. We had the eggplant—it was the best I’ve ever had. We also ordered the catch of the day, mussel pasta, and ravioli. Everything was fresh and full of flavor, and the ravioli was especially outstanding. Overall, I loved this place. It’s pricey, but definitely worth it!

My wife and I had an absolutely amazing luncheon experience at La Caravelle. The service from all of the staff was superb, and the food was absolutely amazing. We loved the welcome champagne and enjoyed meeting the owner. This is one of my favorite restaurants ever. A must visit.

We had a wonderful experience at La Caravelle—delicious food, a fun and memorable atmosphere, and truly exceptional hospitality. When we couldn’t find a ride home, the owner, Julien, went above and beyond—he was ready to drive us himself and even helped arrange taxis. They also kindly provided a diaper for our baby. Just incredibly generous and thoughtful. Highly recommend!

When you dock your boat in the port of Bonifacio and want to be right in the middle of the buzz, there’s only one destination: La Caravelle. Not only is the food exceptional — fresh, local, and beautifully plated — but the atmosphere is pure Riviera charm with a Corsican twist. It’s lively, elegant, and effortlessly cool. Truly the place to be in Bonifacio.

We had booked to have dinner here during a 3 night stay, in a location around the port. After being kept awake until 2am by the B52 night club next door, owned by La Caravelle, we cancelled our booking. We could not face supporting a business that ruined our stay. A hotel or apartment location anywhere around the port is not recommended unless you like to lose 3 hours sleep on holiday.

Hotel is beautiful, location amazing, the cleaner left our room amazingly clean, she is the most smiley and helpful member of staff there. The car park is big and has free car charging (slow charge) restaurant is a bit expensive. Open air DJ next to the hotel is VERY loud. Plays till around 1am VERY loud music. Overall good stay. Lots of restaurants and shops next to hotel, a spar for snacks and necessities. All good

The restaurant is absolutely top notch. Every aspect of the food and presentation were fabulous. I HIGHLY recommend for a unforgettable meal. The view is unbeatable and the food is delicious. We had the octopus starter & grandmas eggplant (can't miss!) then we had the truffle risotto and the grilled (and deboned table side) red snapper. The flavors were perfectly balanced and so delicately plated. It's hard for me to be this impressed and overwhelming by such immaculate food AND service, but here I am! They obviously care deeply about what they do. With a beautiful view of the harbor and a lovely ocean breeze it's like heaven on earth. Complementary local digestive or lemonchello to cap everything off.... Come see this beauty for yourself. Thank me later.

We travelled for 2-1/2 weeks in Sardinia and sailed for a week. We spent one night in Bonifacio and ate at this wonderful restaurant on the dock. The food was amazing!! The service was great, and the presentation was something else, like a dinner and a show!
