L'Odas

In an ideal location in the heart of the old town, this restaurant has three areas: the main dining room with a view into the kitchen, a pleasantly secluded terrace and Le Balcon de l'Odas, a private lounge with a view of the cathedral. Suzanne Da Silva's bold seasonal cuisine highlights both her origins in the north of France and ingredients from Normandy's terroir: the vegetables come from a market gardener in the Eure, mussels from Mont-Saint-Michel, saffron from the Pays de Caux... and she puts it all to good use in a cleverly devised surprise set menu.

• Three distinct dining environments, including Le Balcon de L'Odas with cathedral views for private events.
• A surprise-menu format built around seasonal sourcing from Normandy and nearby producers.
• Ingredient provenance is unusually explicit: Eure vegetables, Mont-Saint-Michel mussels and Pays de Caux saffron.
• The open-kitchen main room turns plating and service into part of the show.

• Vegetables from market gardeners in Eure
• Mont-Saint-Michel mussels
