Top 10 European food in Mont-Saint-Michel, Normandy, France
Find out what European restaurants to try in Mont-Saint-Michel. This island, with its fast and fickle tides, was a notorious prison during the French Revolution. Today, visitors arrive by choice, seeking to explore the 11th-century abbey, dine in fine restaurants and take in the impressive evening illuminations. Only a narrow causeway built in 1880 links the island to the mainland, although a bridge is due to be completed in 2012.

During a week's stay at a Gites in Roz sur Couesnon we ventured out 6 km to this Hotel/Restaurant and reserved a table for 9 one evening. Two were disappointed with their rabbit, I enjoyed my 9 oysters, entrecote steak and excellent cheese. The most disappointing part were the very soggy chips! The bill came to 178 euros close to £160 for 9 (3 children). My wife did not like the cheap white house wine but I did enjoy the local beer and cider. A mixed review but I must say how much the waitress gave EXCELLENT service throughout the meal. Thank you so much!

Restaurant - Inn Menu choice, low choice for kitchen the day and very fraiche.Agneau pre sale, prime rib, hamburger house are the dishes you have the chance to find souvent.Un large garden you have proposed to lunch or dinner.

This quirky little restaurant was recommended and it certainly delivered. Just the right amount of choice gave the chef his chance to demonstrate gourmet fare. Just fabulous food beatifully prepared and presented. As it got busier and became completely full the staff had to work even harder and service slipped a bit. This is a bohemian shabby chic place with huge character which fits perfectly with expectation. Its a bit pricey but what treat isn't ?

We arrived on Saturday night without a reservation and were fortunate to get the last table. My wife had a vegetarian gallette and I had fish soup and a four cheese pizza. Both or parent nicely. We have a small picture of wine and two desserts. The price was very reasonable and the service was excellent.

After visiting Chez Francois several times, we've learned a thing or two.Come here if: you appreciate a no-nonsense professional approach to dining, an expertly, simply cooked meal, an intimate, elemental environment, a memorable, local experience. Don't come here if: you expect haute cuisine, overtly friendly waitstaff catering to your every whim, you are vegetarian, you are claustrophobic, you don't eat pork, you plan on bringing the kids. That said, we love this restaurant. We grill almost everything we eat at home, so finding a place that not only grills locally sourced meat over a wood fire but perfectly prepares the entrees in a simple manner is a refreshing approach. Entrees are served with hand cut fries and a delicious salad. The portions are perfectly sized and the prices are fair. Always go with the suggested wine pairing as it has been thoughtfully selected. Monsieur Francois takes his job of host, waiter and chef very seriously and executes his duties perfectly. That doesn't leave much time for small talk, so don't expect it nor hold it against him. Reservations are a must as the hours and seatings are limited. Thank goodness for trains. We intend to return each time we visit France, no matter how far away we are.

We were sent to this restaurant by a local. Everything was great. We both had seafood which appears to be their specialty. Everything was very reasonably priced. The wind as well. A whole bottle for less than â¬20. The desserts were fantastic. We also had the local drink the cavaldos. It is similar to a cognac but is made with apples. Really good. I personally think this restaurant should be rated number one in Beauvoir.

Surprised to find such a good quality restaurant attached to a 2 star hotel ( albeit a good hotel) The food was tasty and well prepared and reflected local produce. It was relatively expensive but worth every euro. Certainly worth seeking out if you want a special meal on your visit to the area. The waiter was not a ball of fire but the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful. It was full when we visited, so probably a good idea to book.

This was the busiest place during pre-season so we decided to have dinner there as well. It is very nice with the evening sun, and they have plenty of tables outside. The menu is quite big and offers many choices. The portion sizes are quite big, the food is very tasty. We especially enjoyed the antipasto platter and the pot with little mussels in cream sauce. We ordered more bread, so that nothing got left behind in this pot. For the prime location of this place, we were positively surprise how affordable the dinner was. Would go there any time again.

The setting of this restaurant was the reason we decided to stay late and dine onsite before driving back to our hotel.Beautiful food, wine and a little bit pricier than other restaurants we stopped off at but in comparison with Irish restaurants very reasonable.Just a note, the French omelette which is very popular here is very different to what we are used to. Itâs very soft and a little too undercooked for my taste but thatâs just a heads up as this is how it is presented

Chose this restaurant after our visit to Mont Saint Michel as it stated it was vegetarian friendly - this is not accurate at all.Out of the entire menu there are only 4 vegetarian choices: one starter (plain omelette) and 3 vegetable side dishes. Being vegetarian. I was very disappointed with the restaurant description. However the staff were happy to combine the omelette start with one of the vegetable side dishes (Kumbawa crispies: a whole grain couscous thingy with cherry tomatoes and a little more salad). Both were freshly prepared. Their combined price was similar to the meat main dishes.The meat-eaters in the rest of my group were very impressed with the meat options and quality of food provided. Their response has pushed my rating up from3/5 to 4/5.The restaurant was clean and tidy. The staff were polite and spoke English relatively well. There was plenty of tables and we didnât need to reserve a table in advance.

Despite as slight misunderstanding over if lunch was available or not we were quickly shown to a delightful little upstairs restaurant and selected the special menu of galette, then crepe and cidre. Delicious and just what was needed for a late lunch after a morning on the Mont and Abbey visit. Good value and very tasty.
