Restaurant Chez Hortense sur Lege-Cap-Ferret

Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed. But the terrace looks promising.

A very good restaurant if you enjoy traditional cuisine and establishments that exude tradition. Be aware that the portions are quite generous and the prices are high. Everyone will have to decide for themselves whether it's worth it or not.

Simple, home-style cooking with a seafood theme. We shared a plate of oysters as a starter and ordered sea bream for two (€48 per person) and mussels and fries. The sea bream was a generous portion (perhaps too much at over 200g per person), but not very tender, accompanied by a rather heavy butter sauce, fries, and a small pot of eggplant caviar. A green salad or some vegetables would have been welcome to help balance things out. The mussels were very greasy, cooked in pork, which should have been mentioned on the menu for those who don't eat pork/meat. We skipped dessert. The bill was as salty as the ocean (€200). A bit pricey for this kind of home-style cooking... Overrated in my opinion, even if the view and setting are worth it.

Decent food, magnificent view, price as expected

Restaurant specializing in oysters, mussels, and fish with a beautiful terrace overlooking the Dune du Pilat. We had oysters, mussels, and sea bass, and everything tasted excellent. Very attentive and friendly service.

I'd been hearing about it for so long!!! I finally went and I absolutely don't regret it!!!! It was simply divine… the mussels and fries were perfect, and the tiramisu too…. The staff were lovely and gave excellent advice. The view… Magical! The shaded terrace with its enormous grapevines… Breathtaking. I loved it and I'll be back!!! Thank you

Hortense is a fantastic beach restaurant with fresh oysters and fresh wine. It's unpretentious and uncomplicated, with a simple and easy-to-read menu. Everything is fresh and delicious.

This generous institution always keeps its promises!

Prices are way too high. Why put oil in the molds? On the other hand, the setting is very nice and the staff are friendly and efficient.

A wonderful experience at Hortense's! It was very busy, but the service was extremely efficient and friendly. The prices are high, but the portions are impressive and the products are fresh. You're paying for the location, of course.
