L'abri Cotier sur Lion-Sur-Mer

Food served 12 - 2 in May. Lovely spot by the beach for a chilled beer and a cidre or two.

If, like me, you're a fan of Normandy's beaches and authentic experiences, you'll definitely love L'Abri Côtier, an institution dedicated to relaxation and the art of living well. Anthony will make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive, and Gégé will ensure your comfort. Here, everything is homemade with fresh ingredients, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is perfect for unwinding. Plus, both inside and out, you'll have a view of the beach ☀️. I recommend the homemade mussels and the gourmet coffee 😋. The Normandy beaches, their local produce, and their towns, whose character reflects their businesses, are a testament to the charm of Lion-sur-Mer, a haven of peace and relaxation, just like L'Abri Côtier. Open almost all year round (ten months a year, closed only on Tuesdays).

Absolutely fantastic! Unbeatable! Super delicious and thank you for the orgeat syrup!

Thank you Anthony for the outstanding welcome 👌 everything was perfect

A wonderful lunch break right by the sea with the best mussels! We've been coming to Normandy for a long time, but the mussels in the creamy vegetable broth here were perfect. Friendly service, everything freshly prepared, and absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for a café gourmand. But we'll definitely be back!

Typical French cafe, with good beer right by the sea 🙏

A small, authentic restaurant with a small menu, but everything on it is highly recommended. I tried everything myself. The dessert... café gourmand... always the perfect finishing touch. The service is very friendly and attentive. If you're ever in the area, go there; it's a lovely place.

It's a surprising and pleasant place, and an experience we all wish we could find again. Don't hesitate. The mussels and fries are worth their weight in gold.

A charming beach bar with a sea view, whether you're inside or on the terrace. Dogs are welcome, except in the dining room, simply for hygiene reasons, which makes sense. They have a mussels and fries recipe you won't find anywhere else. Other homemade dishes are also available, all prepared fresh to order. The same goes for the desserts. I highly recommend stopping by.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the service was impeccable, the restaurant was very chic, and the Maxi croquettes were delicious! I highly recommend going back! Thanks again to them!
