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) A tasting menu with beautiful products: scallops, turbo, pigeon but I didn't have the appetite for a long menu. A la carte, monkfish, pork, ... in short RAS has star prices. I chose the sole… €68 for a small 20cm sole! Cooking ok but freshness and meat not at the price level. We try to compensate with appetizers, sweets, sweets and a truffle puree! I imagine it works for a superficial clientele but not for those who have experience with good houses.

    Un menu dégustation avec de beaux produits: st jacques, turbo, pigeon mais je n’avais pas l’appétit pour un long menu. A la carte, lotte, cochon, … bref RAS a des prix d’étoilé. Je choisi la sole … 68 € pour une petite sole de 20cm ! Cuisson ok mais fraîcheur et chaire pas au niveau du prix. On essaye de compenser avec amuses bouches, douceurs, mignardises et une purée aux truffes! J’imagine que ça marche pour une clientèle superficielle mais pas pour ceux qui ont l’expérience de bonnes maisons.

    (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...
