Belle Île-sur-Risle, Pont-Audemer

A romantic private island provides the setting for Mme Yazbeck’s elegant mansion hotel and restaurant. The pastilla de lapin (in filo) is wonderful.
Bistrot de Pollet, Dieppe

Slightly out of the way – and all the better for it – this small, pretty bistro can put fish on your table within minutes of its being landed.
Boudin noir

Black pudding is the speciality of Mortagne-au-Perche (see Foire au Boudin, Mortagne-au-Perche).
Château de Sully, Bayeux

This handsome château hotel has the finest restaurant in the area. In the grand dining room, with its chandeliers and panelled walls, the freshest local produce is served in elegant and tempting ways.
Cheese

Four great soft cheeses – Camembert, Pont l’Evêque, Neufchâtel and Livarot – star on the Norman cheese board.
Dairy Products

The rich milk produced by Norman cattle makes velvety cream, butter (beurre d’Isigny is highly prized), and products ranging from Petit-Suisse cream cheese to confiture de lait , literally, “milk jam”.
Ferme de Malte, Villedieu-les-Poêles

Owned by the Knights of Malta, who have a long connection with the town, this former farmhouse is now a smart restaurant, with two welcoming dining rooms, one contemporary, the other rustic.
Fish

The Atlantic waters yield superb fish, supreme among which is the Dover sole.
France et des Fuchsias, StVaast-la-Hougue

If you like seafood, you’ll love France et des Fuchsias.
Gill, Rouen

With two Michelin stars, Gill is Normandy’s foremost gourmet establishment. In the elegant quayside dining room, the best of Norman produce is transformed into concoctions such as pigeon à la rouennaise avec ses raviolis de foie gras .
