GOURMET FLAVORS
If you dream of a seafood platter to share with your friends on the terrace of a restaurant on the port of Barfleur or Barneville-Carteret or to enjoy a slice of local leg of lamb cooked over a wood fire on the markets of Cherbourg, Valognes or Bricquebec, Cotentin offers you its quality local products!
A rich and subtle cuisine is offered to you by the chefs of our Normandy restaurants in Cherbourg, or just a stone's throw away, such as in Saint Germain-des-Vaux or Jobourg with the sea for panorama.
You will not come to the Cotentin without tasting the salmon raised in the harbor of Cherbourg, the blue lobster from Cotentin, awarded among the products of French excellence, a moussette (young sea spider), the oysters from Saint-Vaast-la -Hougue… Or, to delight your taste buds, the cakes and biscuits made by the biscuit factories located in Cotentin, as well as the good products from the Normandy farm made from butter and cream…
Vegetable lovers are not left out, the temperate climate and the terroir of the peninsula favor, particularly in the Val de Saire, a varied market gardening (leeks, carrots, cauliflowers, etc.) without forgetting the cider of the Cotentin, naturally sparkling, resulting from know-how and authenticity recognized by an AOC since 2016.
Restaurants, inns, creperies will welcome you and help you discover the flavors of Cotentin and the know-how of the chefs!
