Welcome to our gourmet restaurant located in the heart of Cabourg with a stunning view overlooking the sea. You will delight at the gustatory journey you will embark on surrounded by the elegant and inspiring decor of Le Balbec.

There is no time to lose. Come to Le Balbec and experience something extraordinary.
You will discover it first on your plate, with a delicate and refined cuisine that manages to be gourmet, traditional and modern all at the same time: prepare to be whisked away by this daring culinary feat.
Here, we only use fresh ingredients, and seafood is put front and centre. Among the main dishes on our menu, you will find salt-crusted turbot with lemon confit butter, truffle purée and seasonal vegetables. Perhaps you will even follow in the footsteps of the Grand Hotel's illustrious guest Proust and sample the sole meunière...
An extraordinary view will unroll before you as far as the eye can see with a peaceful yet stunning view of the sea. What better setting could you ask for to enjoy your lunch or dinner?
And the gustatory journey continues, this time at the bar with its menu. While perusing our selection of wines and spirits, perhaps your taste for reverie will draw you to our signature cocktail. Its name is The Swan, another homage to Marcel Proust. It is quite a story...

    (Translated by Google) The 4 of us have been coming every year for several years. We are always charmed by the place and very very satisfied with the service and the sommelier. Despite everything, there are always things to say about the cuisine. The quantities are really very insufficient and it is always lukewarm. Of course, the bread is very good, the butter too, which helps to think that we had a good lunch...But the crab or mackerel are cheap products Chef, the quantities could be more generous, right? In short, we probably won't come back next September...

    Nous venons à 4 tous les ans depuis quelques années. Nous sommes toujours charmés par le lieu et très très satisfait du service comme du sommelier. Il y a malgré tout, toujours à redire sur la cuisine. Les quantités sont vraiment très insuffisantes et c'est toujours tiède. Bien sur, le pain est très bon, le beurre aussi, ce qui aide à penser que nous avons bien déjeuné...Mais le tourteau ou le maquereau sont des produits bon marché Chef, les quantités pourraient être plus généreuses non ? Bref, sans doute ne reviendrons-nous pas en septembre prochain...

    (Translated by Google) I do not recommend this restaurant for its cuisine.
    We took the tasting menu, at 135€ per person.
    From the appetizer, the tone is set, the quantities will be the same for all the dishes, namely three to four mouthfuls maximum.
    For example, the razor clams are served in a single knife, which represents one bite and the accompaniment two more bites.
    Of the five dishes offered, only one really stands out for the quality of the products and the cooking: the lamb “rib” (understand mini chop).
    The waiter was perfect, but the maître d' was really not pleasant, when we pointed out to her that the quantities were ridiculous, she seemed to take it personally.
    The lamp that lit the table broke, the maître d' came to collect it and told us that she didn't have another one.
    We had to ask her to retrieve the lamp from a table that had become free so that she would deign to bring it to us.
    If the setting is very pleasant at sunset, the food is really not worth the price paid, far from it.
    The customer at the next table complained about the sole which had been served to him too salty, and was surprised that this was presented to a customer.
    The dishes are nothing extraordinary, only the desserts are a little more generous and more interesting.
    Except the cannelés of the sweets at the end of the meal which were burnt and should not have been served.
    In fact of tasting menu, we rather had samples.
    In short, we ate a lot of bread and butter for 135€…

    Je déconseille ce restaurant pour sa cuisine.
    Nous avons pris le menu dégustation, a 135€ par personne.
    Dès la mise en bouche, le ton est donné, les quantités seront les mêmes pour tous les plats, à savoir trois à quatre bouchées maximum.
    Par exemple, les couteaux coques palourdes sont servis dans un seul couteau, ce qui représente une bouchée et l’accompagnement deux autres bouchées.
    Sur les cinq plats proposés, un seul ressort vraiment du lot pour la qualité des produits et de la cuisson : la « cote » d’agneau ( comprendre mini cotelette ).
    Le serveur était parfait, mais la Maître d’hôtel n’était vraiment pas agréable, lorsque nous lui avons fait remarquer que les quantités étaient ridicules, elle a semblé le prendre pour elle.
    La lampe qui éclairait la table est tombé en panne, la Maître d’hôtel est venu la récupérer et nous a dit qu’elle n’en avait pas d’autre.
    Il a fallu lui demander à récupérer la lampe d’une table qui s’était libéré pour qu’elle daigne nous l’amener.
    Si le cadre est très agréable au coucher de soleil, la cuisine ne vaut vraiment pas le prix payé, loin de la.
    Le client de la table à côté, s’est d’ailleurs plaint de la sole qui lui avait été servi trop salée, en s’étonnant qu’on présente cela a un client.
    Les plats n’ont rien d’extraordinaire, seul les desserts sont un peu plus copieux et plus intéressants.
    Sauf les cannelés des mignardises à la fin du repas qui étaient brûlés et n’auraient pas dû être servis.
    En fait de menu dégustation, nous avons plutôt eu des échantillons.
    Bref, nous avons mangé beaucoup de pain et de beurre pour 135€…

    (Translated by Google) Bad customer experience before our visit due to the unpleasant communication / service not worthy of a luxury establishment from the Catering Manager.

    Fortunately, his team is much more welcoming and elegant! Once we arrived, we were very well received and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner with a sea view. Recommendations: sea bass in a crust / truffle puree and sole meunière / chocolate dessert.

    Mauvaise expérience client en amont de notre visite dû à la désagréable communication / service non digne d’un établissement luxe du Responsable restauration.

    Heureusement, son équipe est bien plus accueillante et élégante ! Une fois arrivés, nous avons été très bien reçus et avons vivement apprécié notre dîner avec vue mer. Recommandations : bar en croûte / purée truffe et sole meunière / dessert chocolat.
