• Le Pily★ Michelin Pierre and Lydie reign over the revolving bridge in a swish, modern edifice whose glazed walls command a matchless view of the harbour. Where better to do justice to the catch from small boats, lobsters and shellfish from Cotentin, so beloved of the chef? The entirely meat-free menu focuses on surgically and delicately prepared seafood, sprinkled with creativity and the odd distinctive Japanese touch: squid and shiitake, mushroom and soy stock; compote of vanilla-laced apples, ice cream with unpasteurised cream and yuzu-spiked caramel.18.0km
• Le Petit Nor’CatBib Théo Hervy, from Cherbourg in Normandy, and Fanny Hervy, an authentic Catalan from the Pyrénées-Orientales, have merged their regions – Nor(mandy) + Cat(alonia) – in the name of their shared passion for good food. The lunch set menu, which is simple but very well executed using quality ingredients from the region and surrounding area, is unbeatable value: cauliflower, herring; whiting, mashed potatoes, vegetables and sorrel cream; raspberry tartlet and strudel. It's not until the more ambitious dinner that the couple combine ingredients from Normandy and Catalonia. In this compact restaurant, 25.6km
• Le Restaurant des IslesBib This charming old seaside villa, now a hotel-restaurant, boasts a prime location a stone's throw from Barneville's expansive beach and views of the Channel Islands in the distance. Diners are well looked after in the spacious dining area that exudes a holiday ambience. The concise menu, which changes daily – freshness guaranteed! – features precise, straightforward dishes. We enjoyed soft-boiled egg and smoked herring, hake in a butter emulsion with smoked herring roe, and a seasonal dessert pairing strawberry and mint. The set menu, available at lunchtime and in the evening, is an absolute st27.7km
• L'Estran In this pretty little marina on the Cotentin Peninsula, a seasoned couple have turned a fish wholesale warehouse into a charming bistro, overflowing in maritime character. Shellfish and fish from a village fishmonger, veg from Val de Saire and lamb from Tatihou jostle for position on a “High Tide” menu that changes fortnightly. Each dish embodies the pleasure the chef takes in cooking and his partner's joy in providing attentive service. Knock-out lunchtime menu.16.4km
• Marnage - Hôtel La Marine With its panoramic view of the sea and the port, this local institution on the Cotentin peninsula faces the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. In a pleasant contemporary interior, you will sample modern, elegant cuisine that shines the limelight on Normandy produce, with a weakness for local seafood, illustrated by pollock, fennel (confit and roasted) and a lemon-flavoured butter emulsion.28.0km
• Le Landemer This fine stone house with a shale roof has an undeniable charm. Inside, the chef cooks up modern cuisine with a dose of creativity, out of which he devises several courses according to his whims. The ingredients are exclusively from Normandy – not least fish, vegetables, wild herbs and flowers. The dishes are precise and on point, as are the food and drink pairings (the drinks, too, are local). The restaurant has a breathtaking view of the sea and coastline, as do the delightful guestrooms – it would be a shame not to book an overnight stay!28.2km
• Le Moulin à Vent By the coastal road leading to the headlands, this old country inn is a lovely refuge from the elements. A short menu showcases inventive cuisine made from local produce (such as pigeon, lamb, fish, abalone) by a chef with a clear interest in Japanese culinary tradition. The interior has a pared-back decor and a view of the sea and the cove, Anse Saint-Martin.38.7km
