Teatime at this charming salon de thé set in a stately 18th-century house could only be topped by teatime in its garden, complete with views of the Seine over the rooftops of the old city. A range of irresistible desserts from the cart are made with organic flour milled in town and can be enjoyed with your choice of tea, coffee, wines by the glass, or the locally made beverages: cider, beer, and apple juice. They're only open at teatime from 2–7.

With two Michelin stars under his toque for his tony gastronomic Restaurant Gill, chef Gilles Tournadre jumped at the chance to open a bistro on Rouen's storied Place du Vieux-Marché. Sleek and modern, it specializes in updated bistro fare, offering a great value fixed-price menu.

Behind a half-timber facade filled with geraniums, the "oldest inn in France," dating from 1345, is crammed with stained leaded glass, sculpted wood beams, marble Norman chimneys, leather-upholstered chairs, and damask curtains. Of its many famous guests over the centuries, perhaps the most celebrated here is Julia Child, who ate her first meal in France—"the most exciting meal of my life"—here. A prix-fixe menu recreates that meal with a green salad, a half-dozen oysters on the half-shell, and sole meunière. Add "a whole bottle of Pouilly-Fumé," as Child did, for maximum authenticity.

On the quay at the heart of Rouen's gastronomic epicenter, Restaurant Gill was Rouen's only Michelin two-star restaurant for decades—until chef Gilles Tournadre famously asked to exit the system in 2020. Stars or no, Tournadre maintains his reputation for culinary rigor, working with the splendors of the Norman woods, fields, and shore: oysters, crab, scallops, lobster, and several types of fish can be found on the menu every day, along with game like hare and piglet. Signature dishes include pigeon à la Rouennaise and veal sweetbread medallions with slow-simmered leeks and potatoes with truffles. When ordering your dinner, remember to request the soufflé made with (what else?) a silky old Norman Calvados. Although the tasting menu is pricey, it's worth the splurge for a primer in one of France's great regional cuisines.

Chef Alexandre Bourdas earned his second Michelin here after putting Honfleur on the gastronomic map with his first over a decade ago. From the ravishing dining room to the impeccable presentation, his restaurant is a study in getting it right down to the smallest detail, with surprising combinations like sea bream with nori and marinated sanshō or cabbage tempura with a truffle crust.

A nice change from the grand, overly formal hotel dining rooms that dominate Deauville, the relaxed atmosphere and sensational, seasonal cuisine at this contemporary eatery have made it extremely popular. Charles Thuillant and Mi-Ra Kim, who met in the kitchen of Paris's Ze Kitchen Galerie, focus on lighter Asian-inspired dishes with European influences, like caramelized salmon with yuzu-flavored daikon or Wagyu beef with grilled vegetables.

Gourmets flock from afar to dine at Les Andelys' gastronomic restaurant, set in a charming, ivy-clad hotel. Two elegant dining rooms and a summer terrace, all overlooking the river, provide just the right atmosphere for sophisticated dishes replete with local delicacies and fresh seafood: turbot risotto topped with shaved white truffles, langoustine, and baby spinach brochettes, tender roast pigeon, and for dessert a flaming apple tarte with salted caramel.

When in Normandy, what could be better than a real Norman crêpe? Set in a typical Norman half-timbered building, this bustling crêperie serves up all the stalwarts to be enjoyed with a fine local cider: savory buckwheat galettes crisped on the edges and filled with fresh ham, cheese, spinach, egg, or seafood, and sweet galettes for dessert. Don't miss the caramel au beurre salé (salted caramel), a regional classic.

Tunnel through a street-level gift shop to find this cheerful, second-floor crêperie, notable for its friendly service and local ingredients. It's a top choice for lunch if you're traveling with kids.

Chef Sylvain Nouin's focus at this sleek little eatery is contemporary bistro fare—and what his monthly changing menu lacks in size (it fits on a small blackboard), it more than makes up for in style. The two-course set menu features dishes like a veal tagine with a confit of dates and lemon, roasted quail with celery mousseline, or tête de veau (calf's head) with an herb vinaigrette; it's a steal at €21.80.

A low-beamed 16th-century fisherman's house provides the cozy setting for chef Vincent Guyon's locally influenced cuisine. Centered on the daily catch, the ambitious menu usually includes at least five different fish dishes—all presented with artistic panache—along with plenty of grilled meats, like salt-marsh lamb or duck. Three fixed-price menus assure a splendid meal on any budget. Be sure to save room for one of the masterful desserts or an informed cheese course.

The locals will direct you to this small, welcoming restaurant just off the port that draws rave reviews for its friendly service and well-priced menu of Provençal specialties. Succulent lamb and beef dishes are sourced from local producers, and fruits and vegetables are always market fresh. Specialties like the copious Perigord salad, lamb stew, a fine ratatouille, or pork with mustard sauce are authentic and delicious. Well-priced prix-fixe menus at lunch and diner make this a popular choice, so it's best to reserve ahead.

On one of Caen's oldest streets near the castle, this half-timber 17th-century dining room—complete with stone walls, beam ceilings, and a large fireplace—showcases excellent regional cuisine. Dishes like braised chuck with creamy polenta, or duck breast with grapes and mushrooms are great options.

While not on the Mont itself, Le Pré Sale makes up for this with a tasty menu of Normandy favorites, including a preparation of salt-marsh lamb, presented roasted or grilled, filleted or as a chop. Three set menus also call attention to nonlamb dishes, like locally sourced oysters, steak with Camembert sauce, and a rich gourmet salad with duck, ham, and foie gras.

Smack in the city center, overlooking the river, this convivial cave à manger has everything necessary for a satisfying, affordable dining experience. Opt for small plates of artisanal charcuterie and cheese, or go for a satisfying main course—like chicken breast served with cream and chorizo sauce or house-made foie gras with a confit of red onion.

At the end of a cobbled courtyard in the city's Old Town, this restaurant's half-timber building is a vintage charmer, and the elegant dining room is cozy and hushed. Regional flourishes dominate the menu, such as lobster served in a sweet Sauternes sauce, scallops with creamed cauliflower and quinoa risotto, or panfried beef tenderloin topped with foie gras.

With the port and fish market within netting distance, seafood is guaranteed to be fresh here. Decor-wise, L'Orchidée is a no-frills place—the visual appeal is on your plate: picture homemade fish terrine with smoked salmon and avocado sauce, or scallops with a leek and white truffle fricassee. Meat lovers should note that chef Stéphane Lamotte's excellent set menu also features dishes such as duck breast with foie gras cream sauce. Mouthwatering desserts, like the rice pudding with candied orange peel and Grand Marnier, will make you opt for the extra course.

Market-fresh ingredients grace a daily set menu at this friendly and inexpensive Fécamp favorite. On it, you might find grilled scallops or celeriac rémoulade to start, and a rich dogfish stew or guinea fowl in cider sauce for mains, all followed by cheese, a choice of homemade desserts, and coffee. Popular with locals and visitors alike, the limited space brings guests well within elbow reach to share simple fare, dished up with aplomb and humor by le patron.
