3 Best Restaurants in Normandy, France

Teatime at this charming salon de thé set in a stately 18th-century house could only be topped by teatime in its garden, complete with views of the Seine over the rooftops of the old city. A range of irresistible desserts from the cart are made with organic flour milled in town and can be enjoyed with your choice of tea, coffee, wines by the glass, or the locally made beverages: cider, beer, and apple juice. They're only open at teatime from 2–7.

When in Normandy, what could be better than a real Norman crêpe? Set in a typical Norman half-timbered building, this bustling crêperie serves up all the stalwarts to be enjoyed with a fine local cider: savory buckwheat galettes crisped on the edges and filled with fresh ham, cheese, spinach, egg, or seafood, and sweet galettes for dessert. Don't miss the caramel au beurre salé (salted caramel), a regional classic.

Tunnel through a street-level gift shop to find this cheerful, second-floor crêperie, notable for its friendly service and local ingredients. It's a top choice for lunch if you're traveling with kids.
