Five stars on the price/quality scale. Granville lives off tourism, as reflected by the usual strip of same-same restaurants with virtually the same menus at the same price. La Citadelle is a cut above : clean, friendly, popular, oysters and other standards a bit pricier but quality way above the norm, a number of non-usual choices. After a couple nice, on the house amuse bouches, two of us shared a dozen oysters, and two bowls of rich, velvety rockfish soup made even better with croutons, grated cheese and a great mashed potato/ horseradish rouille. House white: a 50 cl pichet of Viognier, quite good at 13 euros. We left, quite filled and only 55 euros poorer. read more

The food in La Citadelle is great. The menus are creative and have a good price point. The only significant issue with this restaurant is the FRONT OF HOUSE. It is a shame that a restaurant that (according to TripAdvisor and Yelp) is standing out lacks in a proper front of house management. I had the feeling that all waitresses including the hostess are 16 year old brats wearing (way too) short black skirts and trying to earn some money during their summer break from school. Far from a professional service experience. They were chatting and (I guess) gossiping whenever they were waiting for food coming out of the kitchen ... the service just lacked a professional management. It is a shame when that happens to a restaurant with a good chef. It once again shows that a great Back of House isn't everything, or in other words that a bad Front of House can ruin the entire dining experience. read more

Amazing service, and even better food! The seafood here is the freshest I've tasted in a while. Sitting with the view of the bay, you couldn't help but imagine fisherman casting nets to have caught your meal moments before cooking. Best pitstop en route to Omaha Beach from Paris!! read more
