What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Tortue is celebrated for its warm, intimate ambiance and beautifully presented, inventive French cuisine. Diners rave about the quality of ingredients and the chef's skillful preparation, particularly mentioning dishes like duck and scallops. While most find the experience exceptional and worth the price, a few have noted that some dishes can be average or overly sweet, and occasionally prices might seem high for the perceived value.
"Simply the BEST restaurant in Honfleur. Every year I come here, I must eat here. The food is locally sourced and the preparation is top notch, which might mean a slightly smaller menu, but the food is worth it. Absolutely an amazing restaurant and warm and friendly staff. The prawn appetizers were great, as was the butternut squash soup, and the duck was phenomenal. You simply can’t go wrong with this restaurant."

"A small intimate restaurant in Honfleur France. It's run by a lovely married couple on their own. Food is wonderful and presented beautifully. My crispy duck dish tasted amazing as did the rhubarb crumble. My wife loved her food also. Not really a cheap meal but the chef knows his stuff and our visit was made very pleasant by the very friendly service from his wife."
Robert Falloon
"This is a cosy, off the beaten track restaurant.
They offer different menus every day with a 5 to 6 options for each plate.
We had the fish soup, the oysters, scallops, crispy duck breast and beef fillet with purees.
Everything was delicious, service was impeccable, prices were reasonable for gourmet cuisine.
Easy thumbs up!"
