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.

Quick glance: + great French food…read more+ bread with butter and homemade pate + friendly and energetic French staff + locally sourced ingredients + lunch set menu available + reservation recommended Full review: I visited Le Petit Bistro with family for lunch in December, after the merriment of Christmas. Even on the Saturday after most people have most likely over-indulged over Christmas and Boxing Day, the venue was full - a testament to how great their food is. Le Petit Bistro serves classic French dishes, including escargot, tartare de boeuf, and moules marinière, To start with, you get bread served with not only Guernsey butter but also homemade pate. Be warned, resist the temptation to fill yourself up with the bread ahead of your starter and main! For my starter, I had the seared scallops served with butternut cream, bacon crust and chestnut cappucino, beautifully served in a bowl and cooked just right. My main of steamed mussels came in a generous portion and pleased my taste buds. By the time we ordered dessert, the three of us split an order of five "mignardises," or assorted small desserts, to round out the delectable meal. Le Petit Bistro is staffed by friendly French waiters and waitresses scurrying around to take and fulfil orders. The decor is charming and while its menu is printed on a large cardboard, the wine list is delivered on an iPad - why not, eh? The menu explains that Le Petit Bistro tries and source as many ingredients locally as possible. The restaurant also offers a quick lunch menu if you are working nearby or just need a quick meal, perhaps on a short visit to the island from a cruise ship, with the promise to deliver your food within 30 minutes.
