We originally booked a table at a restaurant nearby but found it overrun with a tour group. Another…read morewas fully booked. We saw a sign for this place off the main drag and looked about. There were a few recognizable recommendations including Michelin so we popped in and were surprised that we were cheerfully seated, though we had no reservation. After ordering a nice bottle of wine, we ordered from the prefix menus. Prior to being served our starters, we were given a sampling of arancini. It looked similar to what we have had in Italy only here instead of Mazzarella cheese it was made with a local cheese. And boy was it really good! The fish soup was very tasty and the turbot entree was among the best fish dishes I've ever had. The fish was served over leeks in a white lightly creamy sauce with a delicious cheese flavor. The cod entree was also quite good. Our deserts, the apple tart with ice cream and the cheese board were well worth the calories. The local cheeses were amazing and even the crackers were special with lots of grains and flavor. The one issue I frequently have doing yelp reviews is that you are limited to whole stars. In this particular instance, given the excellent food, friendly and prompt service in the nicely restored old structure that made for a comfortable dining experience, I would give five stars. However, one of the soups and one of the entrées had to be sent back because they arrived lukewarm. Thus, I would offer up 4 1/2 stars. Given my dilemma, and the fact that the dishes temperature were easy to rectify, five stars it is.

As the trip planner for our group, I wanted to mark the occasion with something special, so I…read morebooked our first ever Michelin star dining experience. After a full day touring the D-Day sites, we were ready for a memorable dinner. The location was easy to find and the exterior was inviting. Staff were attentive, fluent in English, and great at walking us through the menu. On that note, so was every other guest in the restaurant. Literally every table appeared to be American, including a fairly boisterous group seated right next to us. It was a jarring contrast to the quieter, more intimate French restaurants we'd visited earlier in the trip. The food was a mixed bag. The turbot fillet was outstanding, easily among the best fish I've ever had, and the mango and passion fruit rice pudding was a wonderful finish. The rest of the meal, though, didn't leave much of an impression for the price. Speaking of price, come prepared for a steep bill. And if the Michelin star draws you in hoping for an authentic French atmosphere, you may leave a little underwhelmed. On our walk home we passed a charming local spot and all quietly wished we'd eaten there instead.

This is a small, simple, bustling and quaint little place. We were seated quickly and comfortably with another couple from our tour. The service was friendly and quick and our waiter was gracious enough to explain some of the items on the French menu. L'Envie offered that day a prix fixe lunch with a choice of several appetizers, entrees, and desserts. I chose to have the onion tarte, the boeuf bourguignon, and the passion fruit panna cotta. The onion tarte was divine, the bourguignon was delicious, and the panna cotta exquisite. It was a nice, relaxed, enjoyable experience. Afterwards we walked to Le Vieux Bassin (a small port in this little harbor) and then headed off to Normandy. Superb eating, beautiful weather, relaxed walk! Perfect day for a foodie in France!!

We arrived shortly after they opened and were offered a table for two near the grill. The space is very charming and we appreciated the excellent service we received.

Both grilled options were delicious and I couldn't stop eating the cauliflower. For dessert, I got the Lupin which is a crepe served with homemade chocolate, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and homemade whipped cream. The Mr. claimed he was too full for dessert, so didn't order any. When he saw mine, he was very sorry he didn't indulge, because I wasn't really willing to share more than one bite! Haha.

This place was busy!! We however got lucky and was seated right away. The serve staff was running around like crazy as it was super busy, however, they still were able to be friendly and provide whatever attention you needed. There prices are reasonable considering the location in the center of the town and by the beach. There restaurant is small with outdoor dining also. There is a huge wood burning fire area where the steaks are grilled. So large he chef sticks his head in to tend the meat. This is the source of the smell that drew us to this restaurant. We all had various galettes. Normande - Very Good. The camembert dominated this galette. Sausage - Good. The sausage was tasty. Could have used less mustard. Chicken - Creamy and good flavour combination. Galette Complete - Ham, cheese , egg. Good also, egg done well. For desert: Pie tart with caramel salted toffee - yummy. Not too sweet. Pear with vanilla ice cream was good, a good balance. Perfetto roll: Yummy - the whipping cream was fluffy and fresh. Very light with good presentation. Everything we ate here was excellent.
