Auberge du Clos Normand

Food You just want to eat all of the selections on the menu ! Cannot wait to return to relive the gastronomic experience.

I wish we could stay longer... very comfortable beds, spacious rooms, lovely garden with a chill out space by the river, very good restaurant, excellent service. The staff is very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommended! We intend to come back.

Why is our experience so different than others more valued? I can only speak as we have found, and that is that the cooking art has not reported anywhere near the standard others. it's not terrible. only so much under the standard of the...auberge itself, a beautiful building in excellent grounds. a shame.

Oh dear, why has our experience been so different to other reviewers? I can only speak as we found and that is that the cooking is nowhere near the standard others have reported. It's not terrible, terrible. Just so much below the standard of the...auberge itself, a lovely building in superb grounds. Such a shame.

We had an excellent meal again hubby and mum in law are carnivores while I am vegetarian. Starters included cod risotto shared (which both loved) and a fantastic mushroom risotto for me. Mains of lamb, fish and a vegetarian selection for me also went...down a treat. The pear clafoutis, fresh fruit tart both competed with the legendary Grand Mariner soufflé for top spot! Service is friendly and efficient. Our coffees and petit fours were brought out to us in the garden. 10/10

Fantastic meal we had the cheaper menu at about 25 euros. It represented tremendous value for money but I think we would have been equally delighted with the more expensive menus at 36 euros. After the tasty mise en bouche, we had oysters, veal...and duck in delicious sauces, neufchatel cheese served on a lightly toasted crouton and wrapped in filo pastry topped with rocket and to finish, perfect crepes suzettes with grandmarnier ice cream. All to die for. Our only difficulty was in deciding what to choose all the options were wonderful. We can't wait to return to try the scallops !

The food here is fantastic and exceptional value for money. We had the four course set menu for 26.50euros, there is also a more expensive set menu and also an a la carte. My husband chose the a la carte on two evening just because...there was so much food on the set menu. They also gave us canapés and amuse bouche before our meal. The staff are absolutely charming and nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant is very busy and was full every night of our stay. Although we stayed at the hotel we had to say if we wanted to eat in the restaurant when we went for breakfast as they could have filled the dinning room twice over. I would advise booking or you may be disappointed. Highly recommend...

Our friends treated us to dinner at this wonderful place! We were glad we had reservations as place got full as evening went on. We were welcomed warmly. When I mentioned I was vegetarian, was told it was not a problem. The rest of the...group had plenty of choice. We were given amuse bouche (a special beetroot one for me , mini quiches (again I had fresh radishes to the meat for the rest so thoughtful! Starters for the group were salad, oysters, foie gras and salmon. Great portions and extremely fresh. We then had calvados over mango sorbet (to die for as a palate cleanser. Mains of monkfish, lamb, vegetarian assortment, accompanied by excellent wines. The chef has an intrinsic knowledge of...
