LANN-BIHOUE sur Etretat

25/04/2026: Passing through Étretat, we booked a table at this restaurant a few weeks ago. We were returning from vacation, and it was the only restaurant we wanted to try. It's best to book in advance, as the restaurant is very popular. We received a very warm welcome. We were served promptly. I really appreciated being offered still or sparkling water, either by the carafe or in a bottle of Evian. Very few restaurants do this; usually, it's just bottled water. The Chablis was excellent. We were with our child, who thoroughly enjoyed everything from the main course to dessert. We ordered fish (sea bass fillet and trout), and it was superb, as were the vegetables. The desserts were very good. Special mention goes to the French toast-style brioche with salted caramel. I understand the coffee was also excellent. The restrooms are clean, which is important. If you're visiting Étretat, I highly recommend Le Bistretatais. You'll receive a very warm welcome and enjoy a delicious meal. We prefer this type of restaurant and always avoid those located directly on the seafront, which are mostly tourist traps that rely solely on their location. Special mention for the ride ticket. We appreciated this thoughtful touch.

23/04/2026: A quiet street away from the tourist crowds, a cozy atmosphere, a staff that seems genuinely happy to be there, and the signature Bénérhina cocktail on the menu: the Palais Bénédictine. Smooth, complex, with aromas of herbs and spices that make you want to linger. The fish comes from the port of Fécamp, and everything is homemade. What few people know: the Palais Bénédictine is just twenty minutes away. A tour of the cellars, a working distillery, a tasting at the end, and you'll find that exact same taste in your glass. A perfect loop. Don't visit Normandy without experiencing both.
