阿琳之家 - 奥恩弗勒尔 - 诺曼底魅力民宿

Alexandre Bourdas has turned his SaQuaNa into a real social hub, open from morning to night, the idea being to make good food accessible to as many people as possible. The menu is varied, with influences from near and far (including a Japanese section), and, as ever, it boasts a number of must-tries, such as his monkfish in coconut broth and combawa oil, "our house bouillabaisse" or his emblematic pascade (oven-puffed pancake): a talented, confident and inspiring culinary showing featuring a wealth of dishes that are designed "for sharing". Depending on the time of day, SaQuaNa is also a patis

In the heart of Normandy, a 17C manor house has been transformed into an exceptional hotel nestling in vast grounds. Behind a beautiful carved door, you come to an intimate bar with a period fireplace and an apple tree evoking the surrounding orchard, then a dining area bathed in light overlooking the garden, with an open kitchen as a backdrop. The short, inspired seasonal menu is an invitation to take to the sea: fresh, tasty creations draw on subtle influences from far and wide, such as celery cooked in bay leaf milk, accompanied by razor clams au naturel and kalamansi mayonnaise.

Settle in at your table, in the bright dining room or on sunny days head for the terrace to enjoy the lovely view of the estuary. Savour the modern cuisine, centred on a short and appetising seasonal menu that gives top billing to Normandy's produce from land and sea.

This bright modern bistro is the HQ of Frenchman Charles Thuillant and Korean Mi-Ra, a globetrotting couple who met in Ze Kitchen Gallery, a mecca of French-Asian cuisine. But it was ultimately in Deauville, where Charles spent his holidays as a child, that they opened their own restaurant. Together, they conjure up vibrant, lively dishes in which Normandy country produce is melded with perfectly judged Asian influences, for example marinated fish in a mango-passion fruit seasoning; wagyu beef, smoked jus, samsang; nodi marini pasta, oyster, wakame, crunchy veggies… Spot-on service and a moder

Located in the heart of the swanky seaside resort of Deauville, this restaurant with a sleek, modern frontage had the great idea of glazing part of the façade so passers-by can watch the chefs at work. Chef Maximin Hellio offers several tasting menus (that you can choose when you book on line), which pay tribute to Normandy’s produce, courtesy of spot-on, creative craftsmanship. Examples include his “Immersion in the Calvados region” or “Journey between the Auge pasturelands and the sea off the flowery coast”. Intriguing food and wine pairings.

Established in the luxury Ferme Saint Siméon Hotel, a historic hamlet in the upper reaches of Honfleur, this property is the quintessence of stylish. The plush elegant Normandy-style interior, the wooded grounds and the terrace with a superb view of the Seine Estuary may be absolutely enchanting, but not enough to distract us from the matter at hand! The chef creates seasonal contemporary cuisine that draws on top-notch Normandy produce. The estate is also home to the half-timbered, thatched roof La Boucane bistro, which serves equally tasty, but more traditional cuisine.

Don’t worry, the oysters aren’t burnt - despite the name! Updated recipes, quality ingredients, locally sourced whenever possible (organic veg, fish from small boats) and a concise, seasonal menu. This friendly bolthole is run by an enthusiastic couple: local lad Paul Lacheray, in the kitchen, and his partner, Chloé Woestelandt, who runs the dining room.
