The elegant listed building that houses L’Ortolan has been home to a handful of world class Michelin starred chefs since it evolved from rectory to restaurant some 40 years ago. The rich culinary history is still entwined with the L’Ortolan experience as traditional values and classic flavour combinations mix with contemporary menus and a relaxed, friendly vibe.
Step through the gothic front door and immerse yourself in the warm welcome and luxurious gastronomic indulgence that we hope will leave a long and lasting memory with you for years to come.
