This charming, rustic16C presbytery in the heart of a photogenic country village on the road to Mont Saint Michel is home to a restaurant flanked by a cottage garden. The latter provides chef Thomas Benady with plenty of produce (veg, fruit, aromatic herbs, flowers…) and inspiration for his single set surprise menu. Benady also works with small local producers and independent fishermen. You can expect a veggie-led, seafood slant presented and plated in a modern, minimalist manner and steeped in the distinctive personality and character of its author. Examples: roast Jerusalem artichoke served

Just opposite the church, in the centre of the village, this house built out of regional stone and its stylish dining room are the picture of hospitality. The seasoned chef showcases the best of seasonal and regional produce: slices of andouille from Vire with apples and camembert; breast of guinea fowl, apple sauce and Crêpes suzette, flambéed in front of you. Pleasant guestrooms for overnight stays.

Mont Saint-Michel has long been a spiritual landmark, but its food scene has always had a less glowing reputation. Happily, this new restaurant, housed in the former fire station at the foot of the abbey, is now atoning for many past culinary transgressions. The seafood-focused menu celebrates seasonal, predominantly local ingredients (fish, shellfish, crustaceans) – with some meat for good measure. Beyond the expansive terrace with its breathtaking views over the bay, you come to an interior done out in wood, stone and copper.

Good restaurants are hard to find around Mont-Saint-Michel – casualties of the tourist frenzy that surrounds the fourth most visited monument in France. That makes it all the more of a pleasure to come across this establishment, where at every service they roll out the red carpet for a limited number of diners. The traditional cuisine is made with local produce: sole meunière, blue lobster and rack of salt marsh lamb. A surefire sign of quality – a page of the menu is devoted to their suppliers.

A thoroughly charming young couple, Colleen Besseau and Corentin Augère, have set up shop in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. In a pleasant interior, Colleen provides delightful service. The chef's generous, well-executed dishes exude all the flavour of the quality ingredients with which they are made. Shining examples include gravlax trout with a rye foam, beautifully glazed with honey and vinegar, and wheat risotto with tahini and purslane. They come in the format of a small menu-carte and the bill is more than reasonable.

Auberge les filles en bottes

Modern Cuisine

At a remove from the village, this lovely country restaurant is housed in a secluded stone building. The bucolic and refined atmosphere calls to mind an old-fashioned inn in which time has stood still: exposed beams and stonework, antique silverware, copper moulds and dried flowers. At the helm, Lénaïck Geffroy in the kitchen and Louise Lefebvre front of house celebrate a simple and authentic way of life, inspired by nature and the seasons. Their single set menu, identical for lunch and dinner and regularly updated, offers a choice between meat and vegetarian. The aromatic cuisine uses plenty
