Beyond the name, it’s above all La Mère Poulard’s soufflé omelette that makes its reputation today. An old recipe still kept secret, this flame-cooked soufflé omelette has become an emblem of Mont-Saint-Michel… In addition to its Abbey, of course.

Opinion : ★★★★
The exterior of Ferme Saint-Michel lives up to its name. With its high stone walls, well-kept facade and surrounding greenery, it smells of the countryside. Inside, a vast, soberly decorated room, but above all, a gentle aroma from the kitchens.
Our cuisine is based exclusively on local produce. Meat and fish are grilled over an open fire, for unparalleled authenticity.

6. Le Pré Salé
Price: €€€
Reviews : ★★★
Along the river Couesnon, in the small town of La Caserne, just a few kilometers from Mont-Saint-Michel, the Pré Salé restaurant offers a warm welcome. In a room with a modern and sustained decoration, you’ll find the dishes of the gastronomic brasserie. Served generously, but always with respect for the cuisine, you’ll soon be satisfied.
Le Pré Salé offers a light menu, with lamb from the Pré Salé (a local specialty), fish and meats. It’s the ideal place to recharge your batteries in a warm, cosy atmosphere, after a day of hiking on the mountain!
