The name of this restaurant may refer to the close bond between the chef and the sommelière (who are partners in life), or the association of food and wine – the couple’s respective passions, or to the two set menus served in two separate dining spaces. The first is a “tasting bar”, which rolls out dishes to share that tap into influences from far and wide (ceviche of croaker, ceviche juice and guacamole); the second is dedicated to fine dining with two tasting menus (and a third more concise score at lunchtime). The chef, who finds his inspiration in Normandy’s first-class fare and culinary h

Not far from the seaside resort, this family restaurant is the stomping ground of a couple who have experience working in some fine establishments. Yoann Lavalley has bought the stove which he used during his apprenticeship and uses it to create seasonal cuisine that is both flavourful and indulgent. The sommelier, his wife, has curated a nice wine list that represents excellent value for money. Fish of the day, local meat, Normandy cheeses… A pleasant place.

This old building in the centre of the village has been treated to a tasteful contemporary makeover to showcase the talents of Clémence Goupil and Alex Néel. Both are fountains of knowledge about their profession and its history and their establishment’s name refers to the inventor of the modern restaurant concept, Mathurin Roze de Chantoiseau. Your hosts sing an ode to fresh seasonal produce with touching sincerity teamed with bold flourishes: a seafood-tinged tartare of veal, ponzu seasoning and smoked John Dory; poultry breast poached in tarragon butter, green pea cream and black garlic.

Treat yourself to a gourmet country getaway a stone's throw from Caen, in Stéphane Carbone's ruddy terracotta-coloured establishment. The chef, something of a local celebrity, rustles up traditional dishes with a modern twist. A case in point: lightly seared scallops, veg, a spicy cracker and a beetroot and ginger emulsion. Each table commands a fine view of the canal.

Anthony Caillot's waterfront restaurant on the Presqu’île of Caen, overlooking the Bassin Saint-Pierre marina, is depicted by a stylish, trendy decor. The chef signs a several-course set menu starring Normandy produce courtesy of inventive, bold recipes: raviole of duck foie gras in a strawberry-spiked stock; red mullet with a crispy skin, cauliflower mousseline and yuzu-laced sabayon; barbecued lamb, carrots in orange blossom water and a spicy seasoning.

Chef Antoine Triquet may have an unusual career path (which led him from insurance to cooking), but the culinary fundamentals are present and correct! Ingredients are carefully selected to put the spotlight on local producers, nature and the seasons, and the cooking is always on point... This is modern, clear and uncluttered cuisine with a sincere, even generous approach! At dinnertime, the set menu is divided into three sequences, each featuring a given ingredient prepared in three different ways, which allows them to use the ingredient in its entirety. For example, veal: veal croquette, vite

Just a stone's throw from the marina, in the bustling hub of Caen life, chef Stéphane Carbone explores France's terroirs, from Normandy and the Lyonnais to Bresse (where he grew up and learned to cook) to his parents' and grandparents' native Calabria. Using the freshest ingredients, he serves modern cuisine with a dash of creativity, proceeding according to the mood on any given day. Signature dishes are available à la carte, including the heart sweetbread cooked in a sauté pan or the Caribbean chocolate shell with a hot chocolate velouté… To be enjoyed in the contemporary dining area, from w
