"From Paris to Lausanne, chef Philippe Hardy has worked in some of Europe's most prestigious kitchens, including the French Embassy in Bulgaria, where he became head chef. However, it was on his home turf, in Normandy, that he set up his first restaurant in 1995. Twelve years later, he moved the establishment to Blainville-sur-Mer and turned it into an inviting hotel-restaurant. In his perfectly executed dishes, he gives pride of place to local farm produce, which he serves alongside vegetables and aromatic herbs from his garden." - MICHELIN Guide
