Worth it when the timing works
Consider Le Puffin de Cavallo if its Bonifacio location and daily lunch-and-dinner timing fit your plans. Do not choose it on the assumption of a particular cuisine, tasting-menu format, chef pedigree, or award history without checking those details directly.

The earlier window may suit travelers building a daytime stop into a Bonifacio itinerary, while the later window may work better for guests who prefer an evening visit.

Restaurant context
How It Compares
Le Puffin de Cavallo is the situational choice in this Bonifacio set: stronger when the island address is part of the appeal, weaker if the decision depends on published cuisine, price tier, or awards. Da Passano is the safer value pick because its Corsican focus and €€ tier are clear, making it easier to judge before committing.
For a more defined splurge, Finestra by Italo Bassi gives the clearest luxury signal at €€€€, while D'Amore by Italo Bassi sits below it at €€€ with an Italian frame. Those two are better for diners who want a chef-name and price-tier decision. Le Puffin de Cavallo is better for a slower, location-first meal.
Shore Club and Restaurant La Vista Version Maquis are useful cross-shops when the goal is ambiance in the Bonifacio area rather than a specific cuisine. If booking ease matters, Le Puffin de Cavallo looks approachable, but the island logistics make planning more important than the reservation itself.
