One of the few places near the mount that open all seven days and without a break between lunch and dinner.
A farm on the mainland
La Ferme Saint-Michel occupies a former polder farm, on the land reclaimed from the sea south of the mount, on the La Caserne road. It is a country-cooking restaurant, which describes itself as bistronomic: home-made dishes using produce from local suppliers, in a farmhouse dining room with beams and stone. It is on the mainland, level with the hotels and the shuttle stops, so it fits well before going up to the mount or on the way back, without the queues or the prices of the Grande Rue.
Its great advantage is the opening hours: it is open every day of the year, from 11:30 to 21:00, with continuous service. If you come down from the abbey at three or five, they will feed you here.
What to order
The house speciality is pré-salé lamb, raised on the bay's salt marshes, which the house prepares according to the season. At lunchtime, from 11:30 to 14:30, the Menu de la Ferme costs €29 with a choice of starter, main and dessert: low-temperature egg, farm salad or salad with Vire andouille and raw-milk camembert; grilled Janzé chicken with honey and thyme, confit pork belly, fish lasagne or a vegan vegetable dish; and for dessert, Norman apple far, ice creams or a tatin. Menus range from €29 to €45 according to the tourist office, and the Petit Gourmet children's menu costs €12.
They also prepare picnic baskets to take to the bay all year round, ordered at least two days in advance.
Getting there and parking
It is at 4 Route de la Caserne. Dinner bookings give free access through the La Caserne barrier, except in July and August, and the rest of the time there is a reduced rate; ask when booking. If you are coming from the mount, the Le Passeur shuttle stops at La Caserne and from there it is a few minutes on foot. Book on their website, by email or by phone, from 9:00 to 20:30.
