Gault&Millau's review 2026

In a region where top-tier restaurants are few and far between, Arnaud Viel’s establishment is a breath of fresh air, emerging as the local leader in the fine Norman cuisine that is all too rarely represented. His establishment embodies excellence at every level: the La Renaissance hotel, the spa, and the gourmet restaurant, where local ingredients are showcased with true sensitivity. The five-course menu is a true journey through the region, featuring wild-caught langoustine served as tartare and roasted, foamy citrus butter, tagetes, and carcass jus; Chanteloup Mill trout served on toasted brioche, raw cream, and oscietra caviar; Carteret lobster prepared as a carpaccio, with seared pointed cabbage, ginger, and head extract; a young pigeon with pistachios, olives, and lemon, charred pointed cabbage and ginger, yuzu, and lightly peated juice; or a crispy, glazed veal sweetbread with cider, honey, and buckwheat. Cécilia Viel oversees management and wine service with widely acclaimed expertise, tending to a remarkable wine cellar.
