Le Noroit sur Barneville-Carteret

07/07/2026: My wife and I have made it a tradition to go to Barneville-Carteret once a year. We know the restaurant Le Cap and have enjoyed coming there every year. For the first time, we were very disappointed by the quality of the food. My wife's beef was too salty, and I ordered grilled lobster. Of course, there are management and profit margin considerations to respect in a business, but for the price quoted, the lobster was small… and I don't think it was grilled but only baked. (In any case, it didn't look like grilled lobster.) The side dishes (vegetables) were not up to par… the ratatouille was mediocre, even, I would venture, industrial, given the texture of the eggplant, and as for the presentation of the purées… grainy in one case and plain in the other. I don't know if it's the same manager, and/or if management's instructions have changed, but it was disappointing. Fortunately, the front-of-house staff are still as kind and professional as ever, and the setting is just as pleasant. It's a shame about this sour note…

05/07/2026: We had a wonderful lunch together at this establishment where we received a warm welcome. The food was excellent and served in a beautiful dining room. A place to remember for any lover of fine cuisine. We will be back.
