Dining with the Emperor - A unique and familiar treatment, despite not speaking French. They lived for us and for explaining the food, the video and the experience. Very complete the food and take care of the atmosphere. A very entertaining way to get to know Ajaccio and Napoleon's childhood.

THE favorite of my Acacia stay - There are encounters that mark you and make an extraordinary experience. The exchanges with the local bosses that I had after the meal and the film helped anchor this remarkable moment for life. What a wonderful evening... The concept is original: discover lesser-known parts of Napoleon’s life, while tasting Corsican products. The moment lasts for a meal, we learn things, the movies are well made (special mention in the discovery of Voce Ventu, Corsican band whose title "O général" is now in my playlist). The Corsican products served are quality, the dessert original and delicious. To keep the mystery, I won't say any more. Go with your eyes closed, it's great!!! A thousand thanks for this moment embedded in me...

A top rated experience at the Napoleon Cave, Ajaccio, Corsica - One of the very best experiences in Ajaccio, Corsica. The ‘Cave’ is a small restaurant serving traditional Corsican food. During the meal a video is shown covering the life of Napoleon. The food is plentiful and the staff are very warm and welcoming. Don’t miss it!

Really good! - We had a great time with the whole cave team. Attentive , helpful and friendly perfectly qualifies the team. Meal side quantity and quality are at the rendezvous. And until the little wink of ice size Napoleon hat. I highly recommend with family or not but also just with the desire to discover or rediscover Napoleon s life in a different way. Thank you.

Great local meal accompanied by the history of Napoleon - Meal very good and local. Only small downside: we would have liked the videos to be longer with more information.

Great intro to Corsica’s Napoleon - We were welcomed warmly despite showing up early, and we were encouraged to wait outside in the shade in the chairs the had available. Once the event started, we sat in “the cave” and watched the eerily moving paintings. Our host introduced our experience as 4 parts/phases of Napoleon’s life, and served us the typical Corsican meal, with prosciutto, ham, salami, and lonzu (my favorite), supplemented with sheep’s milk cheese, a couple of puff pastry pillows, fig jam, and bread. A basic salad of mixed lettuces and cherry tomatoes with a simple dressing in the middle. It was all delicious!! I loved learning more about N in some of the fictionalized movies shown - they were well done. In the 3rd part of the activity, as we listened to the Corsican song, the snippets that came from other movies were put together in a way that I could not follow the story - it’s the only reason I didn’t mark the experience a 5. I still learned a lot from the experience. A note for families with kids….the situations, tensions, etc., covered in the movies might be over the heads of children under 12. My teen got bored and left after 45 min. I highly recommend the experience as a great way to learn how Corsicans think about N. and to learn more about N’s history.
