"Proud Normandy chef Ivan Vautier, the former second-in-command to Michel Bruneau at La Bourride, and who also made his name at Les Crayères in Reims and at Le Divellec, the Parisian temple of fish and seafood, has now taken over this property away from the town centre and converted it into a space with a restrained contemporary feel. Proud of his terroir, this chef aims to showcase Normandy’s very best ingredients through each of his recipes: salmon from Cherbourg; Normandy asparagus; cereal-fed Normandy pork etc. Guests can extend their visit with a stay in the hotel, where they can also enjoy its spa facilities." - Michelin Inspector

Fantastic restaurant! It's magic on plates, see for yourself in our chosen (lobster) menu. Very kind staff, they do not make you wait like some other michelin restaurants do. Did not speak much English, but they did their absolute best to understand and help us when we needed it. Very much recommend to visit. **If you do not like crowds, go midweek, we were there on a Thursday evening, and at their busiest, there were 6 tables. We started out alone. **And watch it with the bread...it's criminally good!

The service was outstanding, but specially the young brunette waitress who really did an effort to explain to me every dishes she served in English (I don't know French). We had de "I trust the cheff menu" and it was delicious; however, what we enjoyed the most was the dessert, a litchi fruit served on a spoon that melted in your mouth with an explosion of flavors. The rest of the menu was good, even risky at some points, but not so surprising. It has to be said that we left completely full. Overall, it was a great experience: good food and excellent service.

Good food and great service. Unfortunately that day I was in a hurry and was only able to stay for 1 hour, but the staff was very flexible, understandable, and was able to serve my lunch within that time range.

This hotel makes a big thing about the restaurant. We placed a booking for two nights only to be told on arrival that the restaurant was closed for both nights. OK one night was Sunday. The hotel was deserted and although the room was a decent size it was painted in dark colours and had very poor lighting. Hotel deserted says everything.

We did the chef's menu. It was creative and delightful. The mackerel was delectable. All other dishes were well prepared and exceptionally plated.

Beautiful meal- had the chefs choice and it did not disappoint. The Salmon with red fruit was outstanding. Great service, sat in lovely garden. I was alone but everyone else there looked like they were on date night.

My husband and I are staying at this hotel and had dinner in the restaurant tonight. It is fantastic! The room is very clean and yo can tell well Thomas got out- including robes. The restaurant is the best food we have had since being in France. Mind you, we've spent plenty of time in Paris as well. We ended up trusting the chefs selection for our meal and were very satisfied! Some items I likely wouldn't have ordered a la carte, but I tried everything and loved everything. The quality was exceptional and the staff did a great job too! Highly recommend.

I don't hand out many 5 stars. We did the chef's selection tasting menu with 5 dishes, and it was everything you expect from a Michelin Star restaurant, but the service was more deserving of a 2-3 star restaurant. Extremely professional, detailed, and committed to the highest level of service. The wine pairings were great, and we were introduced to an outstanding new champagne.
