Make your way upstairs from the Capucines Brasserie, overlooking the castle of Saint Lô, to this understated, plush establishment. Back in his hometown, Mickaël Marion unveils his keen grasp of inventive cuisine. A steadfast champion of local produce, he frequently forages wild plants and herbs and grows his own veg. His deft score delicately showcases the region’s ingredients: scallops roasted in butter, monkfish served with garden leeks and curly kale. Start the meal with brioche smoked in apple wood and butter laced in the scent of woodruff. Sensitive, distinctive cooking throbbing with fla

L'Alcôve

Modern Cuisine · Bib

€€

This restaurant just behind the cathedral is known for its market-fresh cuisine that is full of flavour, flawlessly prepared and delivers on its promises. Examples include house-made ravioli with ricotta, spinach and mandarin beurre blanc; cacio e pepe-style celeriac "tagliatelle" with pecorino espuma and breaded egg. Ever popular, not least thanks to its eater-friendly prices.

L'Angle Saint-Laurent

€€

On the corner of Rue Saint Laurent and Rue des Bouchers, Luc Catherine in the kitchen and Stéphanie Amy in the dining room have brilliantly preserved the soul of this establishment, following a warm, fashionable makeover featuring bare stones and beams. Top-notch ingredients, indulgent, nostalgic recipes and artful plating are the name of the game: gazpacho of green peas with an organic poached egg; smoked pork cutlet with saté-laced risotto of noodles and a cheesecake version of Breton shortbread. Slick service and sensible prices: what’s not to like?

La Rapière

Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

This restaurant in a 15C building, tucked away in a picturesque side street, is the lair of a cheerful couple, Simon and Linda Boudet. He crafts flavoursome seasonal nosh that celebrates Gallic culinary traditions. Good country cooking with the odd more contemporary touch: salmon gravlax, dill, beetroot and wasabi; chicken breast, roast apricot, polenta fries and rosemary-flavoured poultry gravy. The 100% homemade profiterole is an exquisite blend of fluffy and crunchy – to die for!

Ivan Vautier

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

Purebred Normandy chef Ivan Vautier has been honing his talents for over thirty years in this property, done up in tasteful contemporary vein outside the town centre. Fiercely proud of his region, the chef aims to showcase the very best of Normandy’s ingredients in soul-warming recipes: green asparagus from Bellengreville; wild morels from a local picker; double cream from Isigny Sainte Mère; Normandy raised pork etc, without forgetting the local catch. Those with a sweet tooth will be entranced by the vision of a millefeuille “as high as a skyscraper”!

Le Mascaret

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

A steadfast champion of his native Manche, intrepid chef, Philippe Hardy, boasts stints in prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants and in the kitchen of the French ambassador in Sofia. It was there that he met his wife, Nadia, a former prima ballerina. Together they have transformed this girls' boarding school into a peaceful boutique hotel-restaurant surrounded by a flower and cottage garden planted with farmer seeds. The delicately crafted, seafood-led menu of wild fish and shellfish can be matched with tea-wine-food or tea-sake-food pairings, even a Gong fu cha tea ceremony.

Chef Frédéric Michel opened this delightful restaurant in his home town with his wife Manuella. He cooks up fresh and bold dishes, precisely cooked and with well-defined flavours, relying as much as possible on short supply chains (local fish and market gardening, Normandy beef).

Auberge de l'Abbaye

Just a stone's throw from the romantic ruins of Hambye Abbey, this welcoming hotel-restaurant run by an endearing couple is a hit with the locals. The tastefully restored interior sports a colourful vibe with a fireplace in winter and a large terrace overlooking the Sienne come summertime. The chef, who learned the trade here before moving on to other prestigious establishments, has returned to his roots, producing tasty, no-frills cuisine that draws upon his solid classical background, illustrated by risotto of Pont l'Évêque cheese, andouille sausage, a hint of cider vinegar and a crunchy cra
