 Best
Normandy Restaurants...
Eating
out is a part of the French way of life. Don’t have a holiday in
France without having a meal in a French restaurant. Although there are
many unusual French foods (frogs legs, snails, tête de veau etc.) you
will find many foods that are a true delight! And Normandy has some
fantastic restaurants.
Which restaurant? Try to find a restaurant that is targeted
at French diners (French menus are a good clue!). Don’t expect to find a fantastic restaurant in
the major tourist destinations - here we would recommend something safe
and straightforward such as pizza, crêpes etc..
Which time? It’s often cheaper to eat at lunchtime and
during the week. Sunday lunch is always busy and it pays to book
ahead. In the evenings, don’t arrive too early - 7.30PM is often the
earliest you can get served.
Which menu? Don’t go for à la carte options. Usually they
have the same options as the menu prix fixe and they cost a lot more!
Avoid Menu Touristique like the plague!
Which wine?
Wine can
be quite expensive if you go for named bottles. But
carafes of house white or red wine have usually been exquisitely
selected by
the restauranteur and are excellent value. Refer to our
wine section
for more advice on wines in France. |
