Gault&Millau's review 2026

This beautiful stone-and-brick house, in the typical Norman style, has regained its vitality and traditional charm. The kitchen has been entrusted to an experienced chef, John Fouque, who showcases the restaurant’s charm through classic techniques and a varied menu that appeals to British tourists and locals alike: a delicious veal sweetbread charlotte with a thyme-infused sauce, though the sides for the turbot are a bit modest (sweet potatoes, boiled carrots—even the mashed potatoes are bland), but a thin, perfectly cooked fillet of fish served with a creamy turmeric-infused cooking sauce, and a simple dessert of small seasonal Bavarian creams—raspberry, peach, and basil—on a shortbread cookie. Pleasant, professional service overseen by a female owner who keeps a close eye on everything; the wine list is limited but undoubtedly sufficient.
