Review summary

Le Bel Ami offers modern cuisine in Étretat with an average rating of 4.4/5. Food quality is generally praised, with specific mentions of delicious pea gazpacho, excellent mussels and fries, and flavorful spice blends. However, isolated reviews cite issues with ingredient freshness or undercooked items.
