Ferme Saint Christophe

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.
