Maximin Hellio

Located in the heart of the seaside resort of Deauville, this restaurant with a sleek, modern frontage had the great idea of leaving part of the façade glass-fronted so as to enable passers-by to watch the chefs at work. Inside, seasoned chef Maximin Hellio offers up three tasting menus, including one that homes in on ingredients from the land and another ingredients from the sea (choose during the online booking process). In the latter, he pays tribute to the full bounty of Normandy, in refined and creative dishes, for example showcasing a new – seafood-based – take on a pithiviers. Interesting food and wine pairings presented on a tablet. The establishment is very popular with locals.
