Restaurant
The Vegetarian Restaurant at La Maison du Vert is here to serve you
delicious gourmet vegetarian and Vegan menus with
plenty of choice. Over the past 9 years our restaurant has gained an
excellent reputation with locals and tourists visiting from all over
the world. Our cuisine reflects this, offering flavour sensations from
all corners of the globe, perfectly combined in our completely
vegetarian kitchen.
|
|
Your evening starts
with tasty olives served
with your pre-dinner drinks.
You may find it difficult to decide between our delicious home made
liqueurs, cocktails and french aperitifs! You can enjoy your tipple
outside in our beautiful relaxing gardens or in our comfortable guest
lounge. This is followed by your choice of dishes from our current menu
(see example
below). We always serve our
popular homemade organic bread with garden herb flavoured butters to
accompany your meal.

All our dishes are
home made with the
freshest produce available, the majority being our own home grown
organic vegetables, fruit and herbs. We believe that the best eating
experience is created out of vegetarian, organic, environmentally
friendly food. Our menu has plenty of choice for vegans and most dishes
can be adapted to be vegan.
We also happily cater for special diets such as Gluten free.
We don't have a children's menu as they vary so much with their tastes
so we just cook them what they like to eat! Some will happily eat from
the menu whilst others prefer plainer foods such as pasta or jacket
potatoes.
Just let us know when you book if you have any special requirements.

|
All of our eggs are
from our free-range,
well-loved chickens who live with freedom at the bottom of the garden
until they die a natural death and go to chicken heaven. Do you know
that chickens can live 8 - 10 years or more? We have some lovely old
girls and cockerels. We also have turkeys, one of our handsome chaps
loves posing for the camera!

 |
 |
The restaurant is
sophisticatedly decorated,
with cream drapes framing the lovely views of our garden and the
village from the window. There are always fresh flowers from our garden
on every table. A mix of both French and English ambient music
emphasizes this relaxing atmosphere. You can choose to eat on our
garden terrace if you prefer, enjoying our beautiful gardens and the
lush Normandy countryside.
|
|
From our
mouth-watering menu to our organic
wines, carefully chosen to complement vegetarian food, much care and
attention to detail is taken. Presentation and nutritional quality is
just as important to us as the delectable taste.
We offer many different liqueurs and spirits (the famous local calvados
being one important one!) cocktails and coffees, as well as a wide
range of herbal and fruit teas, non-alcoholic cordials (some home
made), juices, local organic apple or pear cider and bottled waters.
