Prestige Restaurant
When you're lucky enough to visit this house on a sunny day and enjoy an iodized aperitif with your feet up in the garden grass, the sun and the extraordinary view as far as the Channel coast and Mont-Saint-Michel, whose almost ghostly silhouette invites contemplation, you immediately settle into a more than favorable state of mind. Roellinger, a name that evokes the sea, spices, noble fish, inspiration, the seasons and absolute freshness. Once at the table, comfortably seated facing the sea of course, the first thing you notice is the menu's poetic and mysterious titles: "Angélique", "Refuge des Îles", "Ombre", "Là où la Lumière ne passe plus", which in fact conceal a magical tartelette with translucent langoustines, langoustine jelly and morel purée, sorrel and chopped spinach, mead mousseline and ombre powder (made with black tea, cinnamon and mace) or, for "Là où la lumière ne passe plus", a bewitching full-bodied juice made with tentacles and mandarin nasnaran, grilled cuttlefish strips, cuttlefish ink condiment, nasturtium and lemongrass, garden oxalys and tetragone... The dozen or so dishes that follow are often dazzling, incarnate and inspired, right down to the desserts, which also play on balance and lightness. For good measure, the staff play the game with passion and the cellar, while not huge, can meet virtually any request.
