Q: Which are the best restaurants to dine in at Mont Saint Michel?

1. La Sirène: La Sirène, a quaint little crêperie tucked away behind a souvenir shop, is definitely worth the trip up the 15th-century stairwell to hear the siren's sing. Cheese, ham, salmon, eggs, veggies, and more can all be found as fillings for a savoury Breton galette (a buckwheat pancake). Crêpes are filled with fruit, chocolate, almonds, cream, or caramel, depending on your sweet tooth.2. Du Gueslin: Dining at the Hotel Du Guesclin means enjoying regional dishes while taking in views of the surrounding countryside. Guests can choose from three set menus to fit their dietary preferences and budgets. You'll discover dishes like chicken with Valée d'Auge sauce and fish fillet with Saint Malo sauce on these menus, as well as another delicacy unique to Brittany: a prune and raisin custard pudding cake.3. Le Mouton Blanc: The building in which this venue is housed dates back to the 14th century, and the timber rafters and exposed masonry give the space the air of a Norman inn from a bygone age. Le Mouton Blanc (The White Sheep) is one of the few crêperies in Le Mont-Saint-Michel that specialises in the dish's preparation with roast lamb casserole and rack of lamb being two of its best recipes.4. La Mère Poulard: For almost a century, La Mère Poulard has been serving up authenticated portraits of its customers. The presence of such luminaries as Ernest Hemingway and Yves Saint Laurent on the premises serves as a tribute to its high calibre. The omelettes of La Mère Poulard are legendary, but the restaurant is also recognised for its star-studded clientele.

Witnessing Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey and taking in the beautiful surrounding views was an amazing experience that left us spellbound. The ancient architecture and design of the UNESCO world heritage site were impressive. And, the location provided us with numerous opportunities to take photos with gorgeous backgrounds. We got a guidebook to know about the place and direct admission to the island with these Thrillophilia tickets.
