Wally’s Desert Turtle
Wally’s Desert Turtle in Rancho Mirage, California, a Desert icon for over thirty-seven years, was established in 1978 by Mr. Wally Botello, the founder of the famed fine-dining Velvet Turtle chain. Now owned and operated by his son Michael, and his wife Nicole, the extensive menu serves contemporary Californian cuisine, prepared by classically trained Executive Chef Pascal Lallemand.
“Farm to table,” “stem to root,” and “sustainability” are watchwords here at Wally’s Desert Turtle. We take great care in sourcing the finest in fresh ingredients from local vendors and purveyors, and are proud to support the ranches, farms, and fisheries that practice earth and ocean-friendly sustainable methods of production. Wally’s offers premium, natural beef from Aspen Ridge and Hercules Ranches, Berkshire pork from Salmon Creek Farm, Sustainable seafood from Loch Etive, free-range and organic poultry from Shelton and Maple Leaf Farms, and prime lamb from Napa’s Superior Farm.
