La Ferme Des Mares - Piatti

My husband and I were traveling in the area in December Low season for this area It was difficult to find places open at all.

I was privileged to experience two dinners here while a guest of the Inn. The chef/owner knows whatever is local and fresh. The service was thoughtful.

Scallops, scallops, scallops! Tim is in 7th heaven!_We traveled across the Atlantic to eat these babies! Great food, great vino, wonderful! I think we'll be Visualizza piatti

We have really enjoyed this restaurant with its excellent kitchen. Every dish looks like a small painting and a super taste. If you like surprises that taste really good instead of huge portions than this is the place to go. I would gladly return to this restaurant!

This is a hotel and restaurant of the highest standard in out of the way Saint Germain Sur Ay. Everything is a joy from reception through to the end of the meal. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the menu is a delight. The standard is set the owners who are an English chef and his French wife who runs the place. If you find yourself in this rejoin you will not be disappointed if you manage to secure a table for dinner.

We stayed here in our way back to Cherbourg. The hotel is hidden away in a small village close to the sea. The setting is very picturesque. This small hotel is very comfortable, charming and well appointed. Our room was large, clean and everything was in good condition. We stayed half board which came with a three-course fixed menu which was lovely. There is an extensive wine list. Breakfast was equally good although fresh coffee (rather than a thermos) would have been a bonus. Be aware if you are a light sleeper that the church clock chimes every quarter of an hour throughout the night. We would return. Visualizza piatti

The owner recommended the Demi Pension (Half Board) as being good value for residents but we preferred the Carte as we both wanted different dishes and a greater selection. My wife started with the Terrine de Filet de Caille & de Lapin cèpes et noisettes, gros croûtons comme une biscuit, crème légère au Miso, petite garniture de pickles (quail breast and Rabbit Terrine with porcini and hazelnuts and pickles garnished with light cream). I chose the Marinières de coquillages, bouillons de carottes de sables légèrement crémé, amandes farcies (a selection of shellfish in various sauces and stuffings). We had spent 6 weeks enjoying French wines so nostalgically my wife selected a decent Marlborou...

Having spent some considerable time searching for a suitable restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary whilst on holiday in Normandy, it was with great relief that we discovered a real gem in La Ferme des Mares. Whilst it is situated in a quiet countryside location which will test your navigation skills, the journey of discovery was all part of the adventure of trying out a new establishment and what a location it is. Situated behind high gated walls, the arrival at night into the cleverly flood lit courtyard is quite spectacular and sets the tone for the rest of the buildings within and the meal to come. The service was prompt and very welcoming as we were shown to our table. Being fr... Visualizza piatti
