About
Outfitted "in the Norman style" with heavy beams and lots of exposed brick, the gourmet citadel of Honfleur attracts an upscale international clientele. Owner Gérard Bonnefoy churns out dishes that include crayfish with sautéed vermicelli and truffles, an omelet studded with chunks of lobster, unctuous fried foie gras served with lentils, and braised scallops with a purée of Brussels sprouts and smoked-ham sauce. Leave room for petit gateau moelleux au chocolat (very moist chocolate-fudge cake). In summer, if the weather is clement, ask for a table on the outdoor terrace, overlooking the historic Eglise Ste-Catherine.
