Take advantage of your stay in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel to taste the best culinary specialties of Normandy
Seafood, tasty dishes, sweet desserts... Normandy is a region where we love to stroll, to relax and to enjoy the beautiful landscapes, but it is also a place where we like to suspend our taste buds!
Our team proposes you today to discover the culinary specialities that you can taste around the Mont-Saint-Michel.
The lobster
Served in many restaurants, deliciously accompanied by a homemade mayonnaise, the lobster is one of the most appreciated seafood and fine dishes in Normandy.
The mussels of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel
What could be better than taking a break in one of the restaurants of the Bay to taste the famous Bouchot mussel? Cooked in different ways, such as with white wine, shallots, curry or cream, you will certainly find the recipe that best suits your desires!
Oysters
With their delicious iodine taste, oysters can be served with a shallot sauce, with lemon or simply plain.
Salt-meadow lamb
A culinary speciality of the region which benefits from an AOC, the salt-meadow lamb is particularly iodized and is very appreciated for its subtle marbled and salty flavours. The inimitable taste of this lamb comes from the pasture on which it feeds.
Indeed, the salt meadows surrounding the Mont-Saint-Michel are actually polders (vast enclosed spaces won by the waters during the high tides) which gives the grass its salty taste.
The Teurgoule
Traditional dessert of Normandy, the Teurgoule is composed of rice, milk and a touch of cinnamon. Its very soft cooking makes it intensely soft.
You can easily be tempted by this dessert during a trip to one of the local markets in the region!
Milk jam
Delicious culinary product typical of Norman gastronomy, you can find milk jam in many grocery stores.
A sweet product that can be flavored with vanilla, hazelnut or coconut, milk jam is a mixture of farm milk and sugar, with a natural caramel taste.
The omelette of the Poulard mother
Last culinary specialty of the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay area that we present to you but not the least... The omelet of the mother Poulard is one of the inescapable specialities of the Norman gastronomy!
Born in the 19th century, Annette Poulard's omelette was originally a dish served in her inn when the guests arrived, allowing them to wait until the main course.
This omelette has become a must, you will have the opportunity to taste it at the
Mère Poulard.
