The service was perfect and each bite we put in our mouths was perfection. We also did the wine pairing which I would highly recommend. Everything exceeded our expectations! Also, the village is very beautiful. It was quiet the days we were there at the beginning of July, but still lovely! We stayed at the BnB down the road, which was also a lovely surprise!

An excellent meal in a beautiful space within the heart of a gorgeous small town that thankfully…read moredidn't get bombed during the war. I probably ordered the wrong tasting menu starting with veal sweetbreads & trotter (though I love good sweetbreads), but the experience was still excellent from the service to the food. Surprisingly, portions were very large and I had to leave part of my entree and main course (rabbit) on the plate to save room for what's to come. I thankfully ordered a souffle for dessert which was phenomenal but also not terribly filling. My wife enjoyed her meal of gazpacho (clearly it was tomato season across Normandy) followed by a well-cooked local fish, and our wine pairings were very reasonably priced and incredibly well chosen to match our food. Just about everything about this restaurant lived up to its Michelin star designation, though surprisingly there were 2 tables (at lunch) with young children and one across from us where an older woman actually brought her dog in with her. The children for the most part and even the dog were very well behaved though and I like that they're open to both dining at a Michelin starred restaurant. I think my dog may need to take French lessons.

Found this restaurant (located in a Spa-Hotel) in nearby Cabourg online - had good feedback. So we made a reservation. There's a big parking lot in front for customers and hotel guests, so that's very convenient. We got a table inside. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. It wasn't really busy on that weekday. Quite a surprise actually, because the lunch was nothing short of amazing! Service was excellent. We got taken care of very well and we felt welcome and at home. Had the mi-cuit Foie Gras for starter. A great item, flavourful, tender and really melts in your mouth. Did have some apples slices inside, that went very well together. For the mains the Beef Tartare and the seafood platter. There were shrimp, langoustines, 1/2 crab, whelks, winkles and of course oysters. Every single piece of seafood was amazing and amazingly fresh. Whelks and winkles are often the weakest part of a seafood platter. But here the quality was excellent. And the oysters some of the best we've ever had. For 52 Euros this was an amazing deal. The Tartare was really nicely done as well. Homemade Tartare, nice cuts - you could tell it was knife-cut and not just store bought. It was very enjoyable to eat the fresh and tasty chunks of meat. The excellent bottle of white wine went well with all the dishes. We did really have an amazing lunch here. Quality, service, presentation. All the very best. Highly recommended. Next time when we're back in the North of France we will definitely be back here.
