L’Alcôve

Typical Norman dishes with a touch of pizazz is what you get in this cozy bistro by the cathedral. The menu changes with the seasons, but it might include delights like lobster ravioli in a coconut and granny smith apple broth, fall-off-your-fork rabbit with celeriac and tonka beans, and peaches poached in verbena - and don’t get me started on the cheese! It’s a small restaurant, and has a faithful following, so you might want to book ahead.
