Valmont 最佳餐厅

Maison Caillet

★ Michelin€€€€Creative

Pierre Caillet, "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" in 2011, not only boasts flawless culinary technique, but also reveals a sensitive grasp of the ingredient and infectious enthusiasm. Unusual recipes (like skate wing rolled in a watercress mousse, dotted with kalamansi and coated with a velvety sea urchin sauce), interwoven textures and flavours, premium Normandy produce… and let's not forget the savvy use of herbs and veg from the extensive kitchen garden: it ticks all the boxes. Last but not least, this 19C hostelry also boasts snug, inviting guestrooms with private terraces overlooking the pond.

G.a. au Manoir de Rétival

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Creative

This 19C, half-timbered brick manor house overlooking the Seine is the HQ of David Goerne, who conjures up indulgent, fiendishly spot-on fare. He invites diners to sample an immersive experience in his vintage kitchen, whose walls gleam with copper utensils, as he rolls out a creative, drool-worthy banquet: terrine of foie gras and eel, caramelised apple and foie gras-spiked ice cream. Goerne’s score reveals a distinct weakness for top-notch, local produce, including Arctic char and caviar, which he assembles with almost disconcerting ease. The offbeat interior is flanked by a panoramic terrac

Les Voiles d'Or

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine, Seafood

Thanks to his wealth of experience, Tristan Arhan's restaurant perched atop the cliffs of Le Pollet (looking out over Dieppe) hits all the right notes. For this chef who is passionate about seafood (and works alone in his kitchen!), it is the catch of the day that sets the agenda. Diners can look forward to exceptionally fresh produce showcased with understated finesse. The sleek and pared-down decor is perfectly in sync with the chef's approach. There are a small terrace for sunny days.

L'Essentiel

★ Michelin€€€french

This bright modern bistro is the HQ of Frenchman Charles Thuillant and Korean Mi-Ra, a globetrotting couple who met in Ze Kitchen Gallery, a mecca of French-Asian cuisine. But it was ultimately in Deauville, where Charles spent his holidays as a child, that they opened their own restaurant. Together, they conjure up vibrant, lively dishes in which Normandy country produce is melded with perfectly judged Asian influences, for example marinated fish in a mango-passion fruit seasoning; wagyu beef, smoked jus, samsang; nodi marini pasta, oyster, wakame, crunchy veggies… Spot-on service and a moder

Maximin Hellio

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine

Located in the heart of the swanky seaside resort of Deauville, this restaurant with a sleek, modern frontage had the great idea of glazing part of the façade so passers-by can watch the chefs at work. Chef Maximin Hellio offers several tasting menus (that you can choose when you book on line), which pay tribute to Normandy’s produce, courtesy of spot-on, creative craftsmanship. Examples include his “Immersion in the Calvados region” or “Journey between the Auge pasturelands and the sea off the flowery coast”. Intriguing food and wine pairings.

L'Odas

★ Michelin€€€Creative

In an ideal location in the heart of the old town, this restaurant has three areas: the main dining room with a view into the kitchen, a pleasantly secluded terrace and Le Balcon de l'Odas, a private lounge with a view of the cathedral. Chef Suzanne Da Silva's resolutely seasonal cuisine boldly draws on her origins in the north of France and ingredients from Normandy's terroir: vegetables from a market gardener in the Eure, farmhouse cream, organic mushrooms from a local mushroom farm, bread made by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France in Rouen, and fish from nearby fish markets. She puts it all to go

Auberge de La Mère Duval

必比登€€Modern Cuisine

Alexandre and Mélanie Baranzelli are thriving here on this estate oozing country charm – picture a pretty river spanned by two bridges and a watermill on its bank. Having honed his skills in top establishments, the chef puts his own distinctive spin on traditional recipes from his native Normandy: foie gras served with courgette jam, plaice with a creamy cauliflower purée, vanilla oil and citrus segments. Herbs and flowers from the garden often adorn his dishes.

Le Margote

必比登€€Modern Cuisine, Creative

In his restaurant overlooking the Bassin du Roi, chef Gauthier Teissere is assisted by Marguerite (his wife) front of house. His contemporary, creative cuisine is occasionally elevated by Asian influences. The elegant and cosy interior is in keeping with a menu that is seamlessly in step with the seasons. Dishes never fail to impress, whether it's roasted salsify with cashew nuts and black garlic condiment, or pork belly with Cajun spices, carrot cream and pak choi.

Le Bouche à Oreille

必比登€€Modern Cuisine, Traditional Cuisine

This top-notch establishment is laid out behind a tasteful glazed façade. The chef adheres to tradition when crafting his bold, generous and flavourful cuisine but puts his own stamp on dishes with flashes of originality – think tonkatsu-style breaded pork pluma, parsnip mousseline, trapper's spice blend and sweet and sour meat jus. His friendly and efficient wife takes care of things front of house, dispensing insightful wine recommendations along the way.

La Fleur de Sel

必比登€€french

In Honfleur's historical quarter, Vincent Guyon is doing an admirable job. On the menu: sea bass marinated in citrus fruits, fresh mango, coriander and ginger; chocolate espuma, herb sorbet, cacao tuile and chocolate fleur de sel crunch… but the great classics of the house also feature: beef tartare with oysters, accompanied by mizuna, caviar vinaigrette and grilled rice. Inspired cuisine, perfectly executed.

SaQuaNa

必比登€€french

Alexandre Bourdas has turned his SaQuaNa into a real social hub, open from morning to night, the idea being to make good food accessible to as many people as possible. The menu is varied, with influences from near and far (including a Japanese section), and, as ever, it boasts a number of must-tries, such as his monkfish in coconut broth and combawa oil, "our house bouillabaisse" or his emblematic pascade (oven-puffed pancake): a talented, confident and inspiring culinary showing featuring a wealth of dishes that are designed "for sharing". Depending on the time of day, SaQuaNa is also a patis

Bistrot du Pollet

必比登€€Seafood, Traditional Cuisine

In Dieppe’s historic fishermen’s quarter (Le Pollet), this bistro in the zeitgeist pays tribute to the local catch, which naturally dictates the menu: scallops, monkfish, John Dory, squid… Everything is flawlessly fresh, of the finest quality and generously served. A few meat dishes are also available à la carte (like ravioles of poultry with foie gras, sweetbreads or fillet of duckling). Buzzy, casual vibe.

Paul-Arthur

必比登€€Modern Cuisine

A former Top Chef contestant, who hails from the South of France, has set up shop in this half-timbered house on Place de la Pucelle. In a contemporary bistro, which still boasts its period beams, the chef orchestrates an enticing lineup: squid tagliatelle, carbonara with guanciale; flame-licked horse mackerel, confit aubergines and pesto rosso; dark chocolate and praliné mousse, smoked fleur de sel, Espelette pepper and peanut ice cream. A savvy modern spin, seasonal ingredients and a more ambitious evening lineup set the scene.

Wine tasting and sales take place in a small wine c

Skáli

€€Modern Cuisine

Skáli – more than just a name, a guarantee of Normandy-style hospitality! A word that harks back to Viking culture, skáli refers to the chef's house, where banquets were held. Today, a pair who have a passion for Normandy's terroir invite guests to feast in a decidedly cosy atmosphere dominated by wood and green tones. The dishes are based on carefully sourced ingredients (trout and escargots from Saint-Wandrille, local market gardeners etc); their bold flavours are on point, eg mushroom with buckwheat crumble and garlic vinaigrette. Pleasant terrace.

Entre Terre et Mer

€€Modern Cuisine

On Place Hamelin, in Honfleur's historical quarter, this restaurant is accommodated in the house that is said to be the 1768 birthplace of JFE Hamelin, a rear admiral in Napoleon Bonaparte's navy. The space – typical of Normandy, with its half-timbered walls and exposed stonework – is the perfect place in which to sample seasonal dishes that embrace both meat and fish (as the name suggests). The roast sea bream, herb jus, beans and redcurrants are steamed to perfection and beautifully presented. Small terrace for fine weather.

Le Lingot

€€€Modern Cuisine

Far from the bustle of the port, this restaurant nestling on rue des Lingots is set against a medieval backdrop of cobbled streets, a stone's throw from an imposing church, Église Sainte-Catherine, a gem of timber architecture. Le Lingot's interior decoration is the picture of French elegance: paintings adorn the exposed-brick walls, candles flicker on tables set with antique china, and chandeliers glint on the ceiling. The chef delves deep into the heart of Calvados, serving a frequently updated set menu and refined cuisine that fetes Normandy's terroir: oysters, local fish and beef.

Les Impressionnistes - La Ferme Saint-Siméon

€€€€Modern Cuisine

Established in the luxury Ferme Saint Siméon Hotel, a historic hamlet in the upper reaches of Honfleur, this property is the quintessence of stylish. The plush elegant Normandy-style interior, the wooded grounds and the terrace with a superb view of the Seine Estuary may be absolutely enchanting, but not enough to distract us from the matter at hand! The chef creates seasonal contemporary cuisine that draws on top-notch Normandy produce. The estate is also home to the half-timbered, thatched roof La Boucane bistro, which serves equally tasty, but more traditional cuisine.

Huître Brûlée

€€Modern Cuisine, Creative

Don’t worry, the oysters aren’t burnt - despite the name! Updated recipes, quality ingredients, locally sourced whenever possible (organic veg, fish from small boats) and a concise, seasonal menu.

Solidly anchored in purebred Gallic technique, this fine dining score is enhanced by the odd exotic note: fish of the day with a dashi-spiked butter and local seaweed or fillet of beef in

Everything comes from Normandy, not least the fruit and vegetables picked in the restaurant's kitchen garden – the chef does his own planting. With the greens and pastures of Normandy on his doorstep, he composes the magnificent cheese trolley using produce from neighbouring farms. Savour in an inviting an

Le Capucine

€€Modern Cuisine

In the heart of Normandy, a 17C manor house has been transformed into an exceptional hotel nestling in vast grounds. Behind a beautiful carved door, you come to an intimate bar with a period fireplace and an apple tree evoking the surrounding orchard, then a dining area bathed in light overlooking the garden, with an open kitchen as a backdrop. The short, inspired seasonal menu is an invitation to take to the sea: fresh, tasty creations draw on subtle influences from far and wide, such as celery cooked in bay leaf milk, accompanied by razor clams au naturel and kalamansi mayonnaise.
