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.

You cannot miss this hotel-restaurant, situated as it is on the sea front in the pretty seaside town of Le Crotoy, overlooking the Baie de Somme and the town of St. Valery on the far side. If you should chose to eat or stay here (and we would recommend both) be aware that while navigating through the narrow streets of Le Crotoy is a bit tricky, you won’t get lost provided you keep in your sights the twin turrets and bold red façade of Les Tourelles – your destination.

For those staying, the hotel and its bedrooms have a simple, nautical themed elegance with low season prices for a double starting from €61. If you choose to dine, sea-food naturally is fresh and superb, although there are also plenty of options for non fish eaters!! In the summer there is a glorious terrace for outdoor eating with superb views out across the bay. Otherwise the 2 dining rooms face the town, although coffee in the lounge in the winter months allows you to see the views in comfort from inside. Children have their own menu at €9 – Les Tourelles is particularly child friendly.

After lunch stroll along the beach or even better visit Les Tourelles as part of a day or weekend trip to the area so you can fully appreciate what the region has to offer.
