In this small town, the angular modern façade of La Renaissance – a contemporary, coffee-coloured extension to the large main building – doesn't go unnoticed. A native of the region, Arnaud Viel is at home here, as is his neighbour, philosopher Michel Onfray, who prefaces the restaurant's menus. Normandy takes pride of place, with fish and seafood ingredients at their freshest, from Carteret lobster to Veules-les-Roses oysters, monkfish from Port-en-Bessin, sand carrots from Créances and foie gras from the Pays d'Auge. This delicate, modern cuisine is skilfully accomplished and harmoniously balanced.
