Choosing the restaurant where you are going to eat during your visit to Mont-Saint-Michel is not easy<\/strong>. What makes the incredible beauty <\/strong>of the Mount also has its downside: the houses are cramped and not very suitable for catering, the visitors are numerous and the offer is necessarily limited.<\/p>\n\n

But don’t worry, we propose you in this article some solutions<\/strong> and a selection of our best restaurants to eat well<\/strong> during your visit of the Mont-Saint-Michel. <\/p>\n\n

This selection is completely independent<\/strong>, we ate anonymously and paid our bill in full.<\/p>\n\n

Initially, we searched the Mont-Saint-Michel intramuros<\/strong> before exploring the restaurants of La Caserne<\/strong> and the village of Beauvoir, and gradually branching out to find the best restaurants in the region<\/strong> (and there’s plenty to choose from!).<\/p>\n\n

Best atypical restaurant in Mont-Saint-Michel<\/h2>\n\n

1. Restaurant La m\u00e8re Poulard<\/h3>\n\n

A true institution at Mont-Saint-Michel, the “M\u00e8re Poulard” is the oldest restaurant at Mont-Saint-Michel, opened in 1888! Installed at the entrance of the Mount, it is a must for your visit.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n

The Poulard mother is Anne Boutiaut<\/strong>, a maid who married a baker from Mont-Saint-Michel, Victor Poulard and opened in 1888, “A l’omelette renomm\u00e9e de la m\u00e8re Poulard”. The legend was born! <\/p>\n

The omelette de la m\u00e8re Poulard, is a souffl\u00e9 omelette <\/strong>with fresh eggs and salted butter from Normandy cooked over a wood fire<\/strong>. The “secret” of this dish lies in its uniform cooking obtained with the help of a pan with a long handle<\/strong>. The omelet can then be placed in the middle of the fire and removed just in time to keep it drooling<\/strong> and airy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

You can eat it with bacon<\/strong>, salmon<\/strong>, scallops <\/strong>or just vegetables<\/strong>. The rest of the menu offers more traditional dishes with some specialties from Normandy, but it would be a shame not to take advantage of this historic monument of French gastronomic culture.<\/p>\n\n

Between the simple culinary pleasure<\/strong> of an omelette and the experience<\/strong> of seeing a wood-fired cooking whose recipe is mythical, this is for us the best restaurant<\/strong> in Mont-Saint-Michel intra-muros. <\/p>\n\n
