Chef's Restaurant

A true classic in the prefecture, serving as both a 3-star hotel and a gourmet restaurant. Stéphane Pugnat’s establishment is designed to be the perfect Norman retreat, offering a spa and a very central location. In the kitchen, seasonal creations inspired by regional themes are executed with impeccable technique: blue lobster and a variety of leeks from the gardens of Créances, flat-leaf parsley emulsion; a thick turbot from Grandcamp with anise-infused cherry tomato coulis, green bean vinaigrette, and langoustines with almonds; Cotentin lamb, honey and rosemary reduction, early-season artichokes, fresh goat cheese, and classic crêpes suzette flambéed with Grand Marnier.
