Dinner in Mont Saint-Michel, France…read more.. We tried to dine at La Ferme Saint-Michel on the evening that we arrived, but we didn't have a reservation. My assignment from my friends was to get a reservation for 7:30pm for a party of 4 for the next day. I emailed the restaurant, then booked online. Everything was in French, so I guessed at how to answer the usual questions: How many in the party, time, and date requested. We parked for free in the gravel lot and walked in to a busy environment. Our table was in a connecting room where it seemed brighter and calmer. I chose the set meal for 45€. My starter was the duck salad which was nice and refreshing. The main entrée was the Salt Marsh Lamb Shoulder. It seemed like a patty made from shredded meat. Strange, but tender and moist! The dessert was Pont D'Orson. The cookie between the baked apple and scoop of ice cream was like the bridge between Mont Saint-Michel and the mainland. This restaurant was large and on the noisy side. It was an interesting foodie experience!

Went for Dinner Food…read more- 5/5. They truly showcase the quality of local Normandy products in an excellent farm-to-table concept. Bread had an amazing chew and the butter was rich and creamy. The bisque was clear broth, and the lack of cream made it easier to taste the natural sweetness of shrimp. Arugula gave it a peppery kick and the fried onions added crunch. We tried both styles of their specialty, the salt marsh lamb, and it was phenomenal. Lamb chops were grilled just slightly to create a sear, resulting in a perfect rare doneness. This allowed us to taste the unique texture of the lamb, which was very tender, being easy to cut with just your teeth. It had a very rich lamb flavor with no gaminess. While the lamb chops focused on the natural flavor of the lamb, the confit showed the culinary fineness of the restaurant. Confit was fork tender, aromatic with thyme, and the jus served as a sauce that reinforced the confit's flavor. Their vegetables were fantastic bringing out the natural flavors of each with excellent texture. Carrots were my favorite as they were roasted perfectly, creating a soft bite and emphasizing their natural sweetness. Potato mille feuille had a soft crunch, creamy interior, and the layers made for a fun texture. You could really taste the earthy flavors of the potato, which was even better when soaked with the confit jus. The cheeses were very strong with a sharp flavor. I could tell that they were of good quality, but I personally prefer milder cheeses. The farmhouse ice cream was absolutely amazing being rich, but not overpoweringly sweet. It was semi-hard, being able to hold its own shape, which resulted in a dense texture that melts in your mouth. It was a perfect pairing with the profiterole, which added a crunchy texture. Service - 4/5. Courteous and friendly service. They spoke fluent English, were readily available and the speed of service was fitting for the French dining culture. I made reservations via email and they provided a code to get past the gate. The code also provided a discount for the gate fees. Value - 5/5. Being a huge tourist destination, there are many touristy options in the area. Many of them state they offer the local specialty, agneau de pre-sale, but only have one option on their menu. La Ferme Saint-Michel is the only location I saw that has more than just a confit, offering the lamb chops that most tourists think of when it comes to lamb. They have a 45€ prix fixe of appetizer, entree, and dessert that includes the lamb confit but the lamb chops are a la carte, priced between 32-42€. Everything was sourced locally, tasted amazing, and the portions were great. An absolute must-visit restaurant to experience the local cuisine of Mont Saint-Michel. Parking - Private Lot (Free)

Didn't expect too much and thought it was expensive (given the fact it is in St Helier and this particular neighbourhood), but nope - decent prices that can beat any London Starbucks!

So, well done to you!! Plus we loved the quirky pictures that decorate the walls! Would come again, if ever we are back visiting Kingsbridge. :)

They have both indoor and outdoor seating and no matter how busy they are will always manage to offer a friendly smile. The English breakfasts are one of the best especially the way the eggs are cooked. They do an amazing range of the most delicious homemade cakes which are to die for. If you are in the area you should pop in and see for yourself.

We booked this Ferry pretty last minute as we had an emergency come up. I had no clue what a Stena…read moreLine Ferry was going to be like and was quite nervous for my first overnight ferry. We checked in through customs and the ticket booth and waited with the other guests. My nerves were getting to me as I had no clue if I would get sea sick or what. But the second we drove up on deck and loaded our gear into our shared cabin all of those nerves went away! This was not a ferry... it was a miniature cruise!! The two of us thirty-year-old men wandered the deck like a couple of kids in a Chucky Cheese! There were several restaurants, shops, bars, an entertainer and a movie theater. All of my anxiety was immediately gone the second we were able to explore this ship! The food was amazing, we, of course, had the fish and chips for dinner and an Irish breakfast in the morning. The entertainer was awesome and I loved the Irish atmosphere that carried on in the bars. The ship did eventually start to sway, but you only felt it when walking as you started to swerve on your feet. When I got restless I would get on the deck and sit by the helipad. this was close to the center for the ship and I felt just fine afterward. Sleeping in the shared cabin went pretty well. There were about 20 people in the 50 seated cabin and most of us slept on the floor instead of the reclining chairs. I bought noise canceling headphones which were very helpful. Overall this was a fantastic journey that I would recommend over and over again. If you are traveling by car in Europe and need to take a ferry, Stena is the line for you!!

Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering at the bar - we all appreciated that as we were ravenous! Good choices for veggies or seafood lovers as well as carnivores, and the prices are very reasonable too - the veggie nasi goreng was only £7.75 for a decent-sized portion. You can't argue with that. Although it is the front-of-house bar area, it feels more like a hipster cafe; indeed I wasn't actually aware that there was a show going on elsewhere in the centre. Great value food, trendy atmosphere, fast service. Thumbs up on all fronts.
