6 stars. The best, freshest, home made fine cuisine you'll find in Courseulle sur Mer…read more The menu is very restricted (3 choices for main dishes, 2 local catches and one meat) as they use only fresh local products. The cook will go to the port in the morning to get his fresh fish. The menu can change on a daily basis. It's a small place that can accommodate probably 16 guests maximum. Nothing special about the place itself, it's located on the ground floor of an apartment building. Make sure you book (they ain't opened every day) a table because it's always full. You'll get complimentary charcuterie plate after ordering your food. Dishes are all amazing, well worked, prepared. The sauces are perfectly seasoned, tasty and light. All products are fresh. I cannot specifically comment on the dishes I had as they change regularly but... I can highlight 2 plates: - Blood sausage (boudin noir) starter, served on a sizzling salt block (see my photo) was superb. The use of sisho and pan sauteed veggies highlighted the sausage perfectly. - Cod: perfectly cooked with a light foamy cream sauce and local veggies. The aroma of the sauce blended with the fish was succulent. Deserts are so delicate, fine, light, tasty and the presentation is fantastic! 1 starter and 1 entree OR entree + desert for about US$32. Full set (starter, entree and desert) for US$ 37. It was so great that I went there 2 evening in a row to try pretty much everything on their menu! Highly recommended.

Delicious cuisine, what a view of the ocean, right on the beach, lively atmosphere and a decent wine list.

La cuisine n'est pas très originale, mais elle est bien maîtrisée. La déco est un peu ringarde, tout comme le fait d'avoir des menus sans les prix pour les femmes et des menus avec les prix pour les hommes... Si, si, je vous jure que ça existe encore... Mais bon, c'est le côté gastronomique old school qui veut ça... Au moins, on est assuré de bien manger ! Evidemment, ce n'est pas qu'un resto de poisson, mais il est quand même face à la mer... Je recommande donc les poissons et fruits de mer locaux : le bar, le saint-pierre, la sole, les coquilles saint-jacques, etc... Et après le repas, promenade digestive sur le bord de mer pour tout le monde !

After a full day touring the D-Day sites, we were ready for a memorable dinner. The location was easy to find and the exterior was inviting. Staff were attentive, fluent in English, and great at walking us through the menu. On that note, so was every other guest in the restaurant. Literally every table appeared to be American, including a fairly boisterous group seated right next to us. It was a jarring contrast to the quieter, more intimate French restaurants we'd visited earlier in the trip. The food was a mixed bag. The turbot fillet was outstanding, easily among the best fish I've ever had, and the mango and passion fruit rice pudding was a wonderful finish. The rest of the meal, though, didn't leave much of an impression for the price. Speaking of price, come prepared for a steep bill. And if the Michelin star draws you in hoping for an authentic French atmosphere, you may leave a little underwhelmed. On our walk home we passed a charming local spot and all quietly wished we'd eaten there instead.

There were a few recognizable recommendations including Michelin so we popped in and were surprised that we were cheerfully seated, though we had no reservation. After ordering a nice bottle of wine, we ordered from the prefix menus. Prior to being served our starters, we were given a sampling of arancini. It looked similar to what we have had in Italy only here instead of Mazzarella cheese it was made with a local cheese. And boy was it really good! The fish soup was very tasty and the turbot entree was among the best fish dishes I've ever had. The fish was served over leeks in a white lightly creamy sauce with a delicious cheese flavor. The cod entree was also quite good. Our deserts, the apple tart with ice cream and the cheese board were well worth the calories. The local cheeses were amazing and even the crackers were special with lots of grains and flavor. The one issue I frequently have doing yelp reviews is that you are limited to whole stars. In this particular instance, given the excellent food, friendly and prompt service in the nicely restored old structure that made for a comfortable dining experience, I would give five stars. However, one of the soups and one of the entrées had to be sent back because they arrived lukewarm. Thus, I would offer up 4 1/2 stars. Given my dilemma, and the fact that the dishes temperature were easy to rectify, five stars it is.
