- Full of eyes and taste buds
On the way to a taste epic with captivating flavors and surprising places!
Le Pavé d’Auge
Beuvron-en-Auge
A modern kitchen in one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France.
To begin this culinary experience, we take you, through the Pays d’Auge, to a restaurant with an almost eponymous name, the Pavé d'Auge. Located in the old halls, in the heart of Beuvron-en-Auge, this gourmet restaurant offers modern dishes based on local and seasonal products. In terms of decoration, beams and a traditional fireplace bring this Norman authenticity at first glance.
Le Pavé d’Auge is a restaurant that makes you feel as close as possible to the region.





How much for the wallet?
After your meal, take advantage of your presence in the village to stroll and stroll through the shops or simply treat yourself to a digestive walk in the surroundings of the Augeron countryside.
La Colomb'Auge
Beuvron-en-Auge
Authenticity at the heart of a traditional Norman house
The next culinary step takes you to the Colomb'Auge, the Place Vermughen creperie which was selected by Gault & Millau. Recognizable by its brand, the restaurant is located in a typical Norman half-timbered house with a period fireplace. Once seated in the large room, you will enjoy tasting tasty pancakes and crepes garnished with good Normandy products.
At an authentic place, a must-have recipe: if you decide to stop at the Colomb’Auge, try the scallop galette, a house recipe.

The Péché Iodé Reserve
Merville-Franceville-Plage
A treat as much for the eyes as for the taste buds!
Here, everything comes together to make you enjoy a colorful meal. Coming from short circuits, the ingredients used in the preparation of the restaurant's dishes are likely to make you salivate with envy. Seafood, Norman lobsters or meats grilled in the brazier, the meal is a ceremony that takes place from aperitif to dessert. The Péché Iodé Reserve, it is a place where the ballet of estuary birds mixes with that of waiters and chefs.

Here you dive into the sea, but without getting wet! It's all in the decor and... on the plate where fish and seafood from the Channel mingle with the flagship products of our region.

The Balbec
Cabourg
The charm of the Belle Époque
We couldn't dream of a better setting to end our Cabourge journey! Direction The Balbec, the gourmet restaurant of the Grand Hôtel de Cabourg, which combines old-world charm and modernity, all facing the sea.
It is here, more than a century after the passage of Marcel Proust, whom Chef Cano invites on the trip. It will surprise you with unexpected combinations, like chocolate and mushrooms. But its signature dishes, such as red mullet with southern flavors or traditional Grand Hôtel sole, will satisfy more… traditional palates just as well!

Now it's time to take the Marcel Proust Promenade and head off in the direction Houlgate, the Pearl of the Côte Fleurie, which has nothing to lose in terms of its gastronomic offerings.
L'Eden
Houlgate
The Michelin-awarded
This journey will therefore end in the surroundings of Houlgate. In this final stretch, we take you, first of all, to the only restaurant awarded a Bib gourmand (Michelin) in our region: Eden.
This gourmet restaurant, off the beaten track, is located a stone's throw from the shopping street. Here, chef Tougard celebrates the sea and local products through a menu accompanied by the vegetables and herbs that grow in his garden. If you only taste one dish, we recommend the chef's specialty: lobster ravioli.


How much does the entrance (to the garden) of Eden cost?
We suggest you complete this culinary discovery with a cultural curiosity! If your back is to the sea and you go up rue du Général Leclerc, you will come across a little-known square, Place d'Hastings. On the ground there is a paving dedicated to William the Conqueror with: a helm, a boat, a pennant and 1066, the year of the conquest of England. Read on to find out more.
La Terrasse
Houlgate
The traditional restaurant worthy of a bistronomic
A little closer to the beach is a chic, relaxed traditional nugget noticed by Gault & Millau: La Terrasse. This restaurant with traditional cuisine invites you to taste freshly caught fish and seafood enhanced by seasonal vegetables.
In fine weather, these dishes are, of course, to be enjoyed on said sunny terrace!



Take advantage of the place and then stroll along the Roland Garros Promenade and take the time to admire the horizon on the benches facing the sea, like the Impressionists. A circuit is also dedicated to them right here.
Les Passantes
Houlgate
We go back and forth over it
Let’s continue our Houlgataise progress with a touch of humor: Les Passantes, it would be a shame not to… pass by! Indeed, the owner of the place, chef Lehoucq, trained in Parisian star establishments. He distills his experience into the dishes of his bistronomic restaurant and it shows on the plate. The products are carefully selected and the dressings are finely executed. Here the fish will always be a guarantee of quality. For what ? Because the chef's brother is a fisherman! The quality meat is not left out and as proof, the pâté en croute is even the restaurant's flagship dish.


A menu that should not be missed
After your visit to the restaurant Les Passantes, take the opportunity to, of course, review the magnificent Belle Époque villas with the villa tour from Houlgate.
Our culinary experience of the territory ends here. Now all you have to do is make one (or more) choices.
