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.
