Formerly the canteen of the local iron ore mine (closed in April 1970), this inn has been the haunt of the same chef for over 40 years. Trained classically, his watchword is simplicity and his cooking is the epitome of straightforward authenticity, albeit with flawless technique and inspired creativity. Examples include calf’s sweetbread flanked by Vire andouille and braised in hay – culinary bliss! This enticing seasonal score is served in two stylishly sleek dining rooms that manage to avoid the starched formality that can be characteristic of such places… What a treat to go down the mine!
WebsiteDeep in the Normandy countryside, the huge forest of Andaine seems to have put down roots in this wood-rich restaurant as it nurtures and nourishes Franck Quinton’s forest-inspired cooking. His way with mushrooms is second to none: tricholoma, bearded hedgehog, blue foot or grey and yellow oyster mushrooms make guest appearances in his famous “mushroom toastie”. The surrounding woodland plays a prominent role in his cooking, as the Douglas pine used in herbal tea illustrates. A committed champion of local produce, the chef cherry-picks his ducklings, veg from down the road and creamy Gillot AO
WebsiteThis restaurant with a bright, contemporary decor delivers the goods when it promises a warm welcome. Chef Gaëtan Crespin works with excellent seasonal produce, most sourced locally, to craft creative and technically on-point cuisine. A shining example comes in the form of his scallops, endive and clementine, or roast veal, parsnips and shiitake… And with excellent value for money guaranteed, it was love at first bite!
WebsiteThis 18C building, whose conservatory overlooks wooded grounds planted with hundred-year-old trees, is run by a Franco-Japanese couple who continues to knock the socks off our tastebuds. While Masako pours her talents into pastries, Julien finetunes his exquisite, flawlessly balanced culinary score: roast monkfish, girolles, mussels and hay or lightly seared tuna in spices, aubergine and cucumber. Regional ingredients invariably take the limelight (Normandy beef, Cahagnes poultry, cheese from local farms and locally grown veggies) and the chef often waxes lyrical about his suppliers when he po
WebsiteIn the upper reaches of Vire, this contemporary bistro stems from a friendship between two chefs, Jordan Lebascle (ex-second chef of Ivan Vautier) and Clément Gosselet (ex-second chef at Manoir de la Pommeraie). They craft modern country cuisine, drawing on the cornucopia of ingredients from Normandy and local producers – think translucent cod paired with a medley of golden turnips and a passion fruit stock.
WebsiteMake your way upstairs from the Capucines Brasserie, overlooking the castle of Saint Lô, to this understated, plush establishment. Back in his hometown, Mickaël Marion unveils his keen grasp of inventive cuisine. A steadfast champion of local produce, he frequently forages wild plants and herbs and grows his own veg. His deft score delicately showcases the region’s ingredients: scallops roasted in butter, monkfish served with garden leeks and curly kale. Start the meal with brioche smoked in apple wood and butter laced in the scent of woodruff. Sensitive, distinctive cooking throbbing with fla
WebsiteJust a stone's throw from the romantic ruins of Hambye Abbey, this welcoming hotel-restaurant run by an endearing couple is a hit with the locals. The tastefully restored interior sports a colourful vibe with a fireplace in winter and a large terrace overlooking the Sienne come summertime. The chef, who learned the trade here before moving on to other prestigious establishments, has returned to his roots, producing tasty, no-frills cuisine that draws upon his solid classical background, illustrated by risotto of Pont l'Évêque cheese, andouille sausage, a hint of cider vinegar and a crunchy cra
WebsiteBehind 19C bow windows, a town centre hotel is home to a bustling bistro which sports a stylish herringbone parquet floor. The unpretentious score is vibrant, well crafted and stars top-drawer produce. The emphasis is on fresh ingredients, illustrated by a ceviche of wild shrimp and seabream with citrus fruits or hanger steak with melt-in-the-mouth shallots. It is always a pleasure to watch the meat roasting on the spit visible from the dining room. A welcoming establishment, popular with a regular crowd of locals, and just the ticket to sample expertly crafted bistro classics.
