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.
