Top 12 things to do and attractions in Tourrettes-sur-Loup

Great experience. The food is delicious, fresh and well executed. The athmosphere is quiet ans cozy. The staff is friendly and welcoming. A must go when in the area.

We had a fantastic dinner here and will definitely be back as soon as possible. All dishes were absolutely delicious and amazing. Also the staff was extraordinarily friendly and kind.

Delightful restaurant that I went to twice already. Small limited menu that's based on local availability of ingredients. Service has been attentive in the two times that I've been there. Well worth going to.

Simply superb. Please keep doing what you are doing. Delicious food in a perfect atmosphere, served by outstanding staff. Everything is extremely thoughtful: the seasonal, local ingredients, the well described meticioulus preparation and the perfeclty matching wine. We had the best experience of our whole stay here. Will definately be back!

Degustation menu with wines was great. The prices are superb for one Michelin star restaurant

We enjoyed the delicious starters, main course, cheese selection and desert. Outstanding presentation and taste combined with great service. - Only don't go there if you are actually hungry.

Three choices of components (vegetarian, fish, meat), each as starter or main plus delicious desserts… combine as you like. We. Had tomatoes tartar and tuna, tuna and beef, and beef and strawberry rhubarb crumble with a great recommendation for Rose champagne and wine … add to that attentive (if at times a little lengthy) service and a gorgeous outdoor terrace and it makes for a wonderful evening. Thank you! 🙏

(Translated by Google) Catastrophic! A very unpleasant experience going through security. An hour spent in gendered queues: men on one side, women on the other. However, no signage indicates this rule. Agents turn visitors away if they are not in the right line and order them to get back in line in the right line. For the conviviality when we come as a couple, we will come again! An under-equipped security service. This results in a body search with palpation of each visitor where gates and detectors could have made it easier. The feeling of having gone back in time, of having been treated like cattle. Never seen this in any other event in the region. This is the first and last time I came to the Violette party. If you want to have a good time, go your way. (Original) Catastrophique ! Une très désagréable expérience au passage de la sécurité. Une heure passée dans des files d'attente genrées : les hommes d'un côté, les femmes de l'autre. Pourtant aucune signalisation n'indique cette règle. Les agents refoulent les visiteurs s'ils ne sont pas dans la bonne file et leur ordonnent à refaire la queue dans bonne file. Pour la convivialité quand on vient en couple, on repassera ! Un service de sécurité sous équipé. Cela se traduit par la fouille au corps avec palpation de chaque visiteur là où des portiques et des détecteurs auraient pu fluidifier. L'impression d'avoir fait un bon en arrière dans le temps, d'avoir été traité comme du bétail. Jamais vu ça dans aucune autre manifestation de la région. C'est la première et la dernière fois que venais à la fête de la Violette. Si vous souhaitez passer un bon moment, passez votre chemin.

(Translated by Google) Catastrophic organization, we came on purpose by motorbike to have peace of mind, we made you park 8km before the village but why?? then waiting for a shuttle which is shameful... 1h30 wait on the way back. And the tanks are disappointing. Magnificent village but definitely don't go there today, I don't recommend it especially for people with disabilities or who have difficulty walking, there is nothing to adapt. We'll never go again because of the organization. (Original) Organisation catastrophique, nous sommes venus exprès en moto pour être tranquille on te fait garé 8kms avant le village mais pourquoi ?? puis attente d'une navette qui est honteux.. 1h30 d'attente au retour. Et les chars sont décevants. Magnifique village mais surtout pas y aller ce jour je déconseille surtout pour les personnes handicapés ou qui on du mal à marcher il y a rien d'adapter. On ira plus jamais a cause de l'organisation.

(Translated by Google) Enchanting place located in the south of France, characteristic for the presence of the well-known Violet flower💮 The landscape offered by Tourette (a city twinned with the city of Bra, in the province of Turin) is delicate and pleasant to the eye. Characterized by stairs and tunnels that lead to the discovery of a magical place with a medieval flavour, Tourette proves to live up to expectations. The reason for the 3 stars is due to the terrible organization of the tour operator who accompanied us to discover this place. Due to the large turnout this year, many buses were forced to park at least 30 minutes' walk away from the main venue. Unfortunately, the management of the party was not adequate, with little communication which made the trip on March 5, 2023 almost hell. Many hours on the bus, to see little! It's a shame because the city deserved it and had so many beautiful places to admire. Few accessible toilet points, the main one right at the entrance to the event. I hope that next year more justice will be done for a party that deserved much...much more ❣ P.s. Inside the event, in the main square there was a small market dedicated to violet products (mostly cosmetics)💮 (Original) Incantevole luogo situato nel sud della Francia, caratteristico per la presenza del ben noto fiore della Violetta💮 Il paesaggio offerto da Tourette (città per altro gemellata con la città di Bra, in provincia di Torino) è delicato e piacevole alla vista. Caratterizzato da scale e cunicoletti che portano alla scoperta di un luogo magico dal sapore medievale, Tourette si dimostra alle altezze delle aspettative. Il motivo delle 3 stelle è dovuta alla pessima organizzazione del tour operator che ci ha accompagnati alla scoperta di questo luogo. Per via della grande affluenza di quest'anno, molti bus sono stati costretti a parcheggiare ad almeno 30 min di distanza a piedi dalla sede principale. La gestione della festa purtroppo non è stata adeguata, poche comunicazioni che hanno reso la gita del 5 Marzo 2023 quasi un inferno. Tante ore in bus, per vedere poco! Peccato perché la città meritava e aveva tanti bei luoghi da ammirare. Pochi punti accessibili per i servizi igienici, uno principale giusto all'ingresso della manifestazione. Spero che il prossimo anno verrà fatta più giustizia per una festa che avrebbe meritato molto...molto di più ❣ P.s. All'interno della manifestazione, nella piazza principale vi era un piccolo mercato dedicato ai prodotti (per la maggiore di cosmesi) alla violetta💮

(Translated by Google) Very poor organization for access to the village of Tourettes, we are forced to leave our vehicle at the exit of Vence, and therefore take the shuttle, but when there is... more than an hour of waiting.. Shuttles pass in front of us empty but do not stop For what ? We can understand that this event attracts a lot of people, that access to the village is via a small road, but this lack of organization disgusts a lot of people who have turned around. Gentlemen of the organization, please review, because a priori it is like this every year (Original) Très mauvaise organisation pour l’accès au village de Tourettes, on nous oblige à laisser notre véhicule à la sortie de Vence, et donc prendre la navette, mais quand il y en a…plus d une heure d attente.. Des navettes passe devant nous vides mais ne s’arrête pas Pourquoi ? On peut comprendre que cette manifestation attire beaucoup de monde, que l’accès au village se fait par une petite route, mais ce manque d’organisation dégoûte pas mal de gens qui t’ont fait demi-tour Messieurs de l’organisation, veuillez revoir, car a priori c’est ainsi chaque année

(Translated by Google) Catastrophic organization. No parking provided, too few shuttles, 1 hour of waiting outbound and dropped off 1km from the village and the same for the return. We won't set foot there again. (Original) Organisation catastrophique. Aucun stationnement prévus, trop peu de navette, 1h d'attente aller et déposé à 1km du village et pareil pour le retour. Nous n'y remettrons plus les pieds.

(Translated by Google) Totally inaccessible party to avoid failing organization. We turned around after 2 hours, the shuttles were too far apart. In short, shame on the organizers (Original) Fête totalement inaccessible à éviter organisation défaillante. Nous avons fais demi tour au bout de 2h , les navettes trop espacées. Bref honte sur les organisateurs

(Translated by Google) What an enchanting village. Also worth visiting otherwise. Full of beautiful artisan shops with fair prices. The violet festival makes it unique. Compliments. (Original) Che borgo incantevole. Da visitare anche diversamente. Ricco di bei negozi artigianali e con prezzi giusti. La festa delle violette lo rende unico. Complimenti.

A wonderful discovery last week in the authentic village of Tourettes sur Loup, what a nice surprise to enjoy this 5 courses menu, prepared with such care and creativity, changing every week. The flavors of each dish are refined and the plates are perfectly presented. The whole team is absolutely kind and welcoming, all within a beautiful setting. There’s even a table available where you can watch the chef excel in his culinary creations. I’d also add that the view from the terrace is truly breathtaking, especially with the sunset at this time of year!

Absolutely wonderful. The menu had only 6 items, all of which tasted incredible. Amazing combinations of ingredients for each dish. We stopped by for lunch and sat outside in the wonderful terrace. Service was equally special, with the staff being very attentive and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Gorgeous restaurant tucked away on a lovely street in Tourrettes-sur-Loup. The dégustation menu was surprising and delightful, with delicate flavors perfectly paired with organic-natural wines. Despite being really busy, the service was super friendly, with just a few staff members running the show.

A beautiful little gem! We had dinner here last night and it was such a treat. A surprise five-course menu (which changes every Thursday) featuring meat, vegetables, fish, cheese, and dessert. I absolutely loved both the place and the town! The staff were so friendly and the service was excellent. Highly recommended!

Chef Stefan Linde is creating some culinary magic in this wonderful little restaurant in the town in Tourrettes-sur-Loup. I hesitate to even review the place, because I don’t want it to become overcrowded! The cooking is creative and fun and takes benefits from the seasonal ingredients of the region. The wine list is extensive with a wide selection of wines available by the glass. This place is definitely worth a journey! ⭐️

A gorgeous little gem, just 30min drive from Nice. We dined outside in this lovely little square as it was a warm summer night, alternatively the inside of the restaurant has also a really cosy and welcoming vibe. A surprise menu of 5 courses including a cheese selection and a dessert that will take you through a unique journey of flavours. Every dish is thoughtfully curated and you can feel the passion of the chef behind it. Filippo, the chef, in the kitchen with his beautiful savoir fair and attention to details, while Isabella, the hostess, entertains you between courses and recommends beautiful wines to pair to the dishes. The menu is 55€ + wine. If you want to experience a very special night, I really recommend you visit Cinq. We certainly loved it!

A wonderfully delicious and surprising dinner full of original taste combinations and textures prepared with fresh ingredients and a sense of humor. The atmosphere is cozy but modern and the owners charming. We hope to return.

2 euros per person. Worth it. Lady working here is super nice and helpful.

Lovely history of violets from the region.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place, a cave easy to access and little indicated to better preserve it. It's a little cold and dark, so take appropriate equipment.

Possible to observe bats there with a little luck and if you don't make too much noise (Original) Lieu très sympathique, une grotte facile d’accès et peu indiquée pour mieux la préserver. Il y fait un peu froid et obscur prendre un équipement adéquat. La grotte possède 3 grandes salles puis un chemin accessible en rampant pour les plus courageux.

(Translated by Google) Be careful on the Chemin des Courmettes, 3 white patous rushed towards us, barking aggressively and stopped a meter from us.
