Residence Le Chant des Oiseaux in Courseulles-sur-mer-formerly TUI Ferienhaus

Run by an oyster-farming family since 1955, this fashionable restaurant celebrates the sea and all its produce with flair. Spot-on, legible recipes showcase the quality of the local fish and a knockout cast of shellfish. Poached oysters are one of the house signatures. The artful plating is fully the equal of the delicious sauces, further enhanced by sensible prices. Premium, ultra-fresh local produce is the strong suit of this esteemed establishment. Meals are served in a room whose picture windows overlook a peaceful pond and mill.
