L'Ortolan Description

The Michelin starred L'ortolan is located in the Thames Valley, and easily accessible from Reading, Oxford, Heathrow, and London. You could choose to stay in one of three lovely rooms, spend time at the Chefs' Table watching them at work, or dine in the restaurant and terrace conservatory.

Owner and Chef Alan Murchison has, within this beautiful listed building, kick-started a new approach to dining and the results have been outstanding. The dishes are classical French but given an appealing modern twist. With the ability to host a variety of occasions from family parties and themed events, weddings to corporate dining and business meetings, the restaurant serves a variety of menus.

An attractive meal could perhaps  start with pan-fried foie gras, cep mousse, and puree of Jerusalem artichoke, followed by saddle of venison, spiced red cabbage, blackberries, and sauce 'grand veneur', ending with  dessert of carpaccio of caramelised pineapple.

Regular wine events are organised at L'ortolan thanks to the presence of a very well-sourced wine list.

Fixed Lunch

  • £22 (2 courses) to £26 (3 courses)

Fixed Dinner

Your Reviews of L'Ortolan

Joplings (3 April 2007)

We experienced the 'Chef’s Table' at L'Ortolan last week, what an experience, a once in a lifetime event. All the food was fantastic, wines were fantastic, staff were fantastic, all was fantastic. Alan is a top bloke and it was an all round superb dining experience. L'Ortolan is the best place we've every eaten and the best wine we've ever had. The staff are so dedicated and proud of the restaurant. You must try it, you will return.

Graham English (15 July 2006)

Thank God for L'Ortolan. Just when I was thinking of curbing my eating out comes a restaurant to awaken the taste buds. The July special set Laurent Perrier Lunch including a glass of champagne at £25 is a bargain. Excellent food cooked with class. The addition of small chef tasting courses (free) included in the set lunch were amazing. Small? Yes but, enough for you to crave more. The small cup of mint and pea soup with truffle oil was divine. Starters of quail salad and smoked haddock risotto were spot on. Mains of Moroccan style lamb with couscous and chicken ballotine with risotto and truffle oil were dispatched with glee. A dessert of dark chocolate fondant with poached cherries looked & tasted superb. I can also recommend the extensive range of cheese served with walnut bread or mixed leaves if you ask! Only minor quibble, one of the three mains in the set lunch package had run out at 1pm. Maybe an alternative should have been added! Is this a place for a special occasion? No, this is so special it should be used every day! See you there!
