La Malposte

Slightly set back from the D-Day landing beaches on the Côte de Nacre, here we are in the very pleasant restaurant of Anthony Vallette, an energetic chef from Normandy, born in Condé-sur-Vire. Over the course of the seasons, he draws on the flavours of the local terroir – fish from the Channel, andouille de Vire, De Bayeux pork – and composes meticulous dishes with just the right amount of daring! His modern cuisine takes its cue from the market and follows his heart… and his personal favourites are reflected in the menu!

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.
