Five veggie restaurants to visit in Normandy

Run by Lidwine and Rolando, this restaurant in the Manche département proposes a selection of delicious vegetarian dishes inspired by cuisine from all over the world, all using local-sourced ingredients. We especially love the granola and maple syrup for breakfast and the marinated falafels for dinner.

Greedy Guts has established itself as a popular Caen hangout serving a wide range of light bites and small dishes. Whether it’s a wrap, some chips or the house special alligateau that you fancy, there’s something for everyone, not to mention a great terrace to enjoy it all on. The restaurant also runs a food truck at the local market on Place Saint-Sauveur!

Specialising in vegan cuisine, this restaurant in Normandy’s largest city serves delicious dishes including tofu with rice and chocolate banana bread, all prepared using local, organic products. Manager Mélusine’s vision is simple; to provide vegans with some much-needed variety when dining out. Also well worth a visit is Casse-Noisette’s little brother Expresso Patronum, an all-in-one coffee shop, tea room and tapas bar.

Anyone familiar with Rouen may know Le 3 Pièces, a bar popular with music lovers. Now there is La Bouche du 3 Pièces, a new restaurant for foodies of the vegetarian persuasion, which boasts an ever-evolving menu and specialties such as the veggie carbonnade and arancini balls. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the restaurant also makes delicious wraps for music nights at Les 3 Pièces.

Just five minutes from Vimoutiers in the Orne département is La Maison du Vert, Normandy’s very own vegetarian restaurant and hotel. All dishes are prepared using fresh vegetables grown in the garden and can be enjoyed alongside a selection of organic wines. A haven for herbivores!
