Booking essential on TheFork · the website does not publish opening days

The fine-dining restaurant of the Le Donjon hotel occupies a dining room with painted walls and arched windows in the tower house, above the village. It is run by four hands, Killian Allain, who created the identity of this table, and Yannic Stockhausen, who has joined him. It is the special meal of the trip: several courses, produce from the sea and farms of Normandy and the bay on the other side of the window.

The menus

There are three menus, plus a blind experience in which you do not see the menu. Le Jardin, vegetarian, has three courses and costs €69. Les Galets, five courses, €109. L'Aiguille, seven courses, €149. The menu in force in November 2026 begins with sourdough bread, cabbage, bacon and buckwheat butter, and continues with small vegetables and herbs, a langoustine inspired by teurgoule (Norman rice pudding with cinnamon), a Normandy oyster with Bénédictine, mojito and verbena, scallop with XO sauce and pear, and pigeon with beeswax, porcini and blackcurrant. The dessert plays with pumpkin, quince and vanilla. For €22 more they serve you a camembert in three textures with honey, pollen and watercress.

The menu changes with the seasons, so these dishes are the autumn ones. The restaurant has held the Maître Restaurateur title since 2011, 14 out of 20 and two toques in the Gault & Millau guide, and appears in the Michelin Guide, without a star, in the highest price band.
