Description

Far from the bustle of the port, this restaurant nestling on rue des Lingots is set against a medieval backdrop of cobbled streets, a stone's throw from an imposing church, Église Sainte-Catherine, a gem of timber architecture. Le Lingot's interior decoration is the picture of French elegance: paintings adorn the exposed-brick walls, candles flicker on tables set with antique china, and chandeliers glint on the ceiling. The chef delves deep into the heart of Calvados, serving a frequently updated set menu and refined cuisine that fetes Normandy's terroir: oysters, local fish and beef.
