白羊酒店

This charming, rustic16C presbytery in the heart of a photogenic country village on the road to Mont Saint Michel is home to a restaurant flanked by a cottage garden. The latter provides chef Thomas Benady with plenty of produce (veg, fruit, aromatic herbs, flowers…) and inspiration for his single set surprise menu. Benady also works with small local producers and independent fishermen. You can expect a veggie-led, seafood slant presented and plated in a modern, minimalist manner and steeped in the distinctive personality and character of its author. Examples: roast Jerusalem artichoke served

Good restaurants are hard to find around Mont-Saint-Michel – casualties of the tourist frenzy that surrounds the fourth most visited monument in France. That makes it all the more of a pleasure to come across this establishment, where at every service they roll out the red carpet for a limited number of diners. The traditional cuisine is made with local produce: sole meunière, blue lobster and rack of salt marsh lamb. A surefire sign of quality – a page of the menu is devoted to their suppliers.
