A Little Pause

In the early hours on Monday, 10/9/2017, I was evacuated from my home in Santa Rosa and 30 minutes later it burned to the ground. I will return when I am more settled. Stay tuned...

La Ferme Saint Michel

After Bayeux, we drove 1 1/2 hours to Mont Saint Michel. We had dinner reservations at La Ferme Saint Michel, inside the gate. The gate is at the southern end of the road that leads to the island of Mont Saint Michele. There are restaurants and hotels inside the gate and outside. You need a code to get inside the gate. You can call the restaurant to get the code, which changes daily or park at the lot outside the gate and walk to the restaurant.


The restaurant is large but it was full when we arrived at 9 pm. Fortunately, we had made reservations online.


They offered a 3-course menu for €20. There were several choices for each course. The entree choices included Duo of Terrines--there was a smooth pate and a country pate. Both were good.


The Farm's Omelet was another entree option. This was prepared in the style of La Mere Poulard--yolks and whites beaten separately then folded together so it was more like a soufflé. It was very light and fluffy.


One of the main options was Grilled Chicken Filet. This was boring. Not much flavor to the sauce and the chicken was dry.


Fish Colin d'Alaska. This was also okay. The fish was dry and the sauce was uninspired.


Dessert options included selection of two Normandy cheese, in this case Pont l'Eveque & Camembert.


Calvados Macerated Apples in Normandy Far.
