Le Mont Saint Michel, France
La Mère Poulard
La Mère Poulard occupies one of France's most visited pilgrimage sites, the Grande Rue of Le Mont-Saint-Michel, where its wood-fired ovens and the tradition of the hand-beaten omelette have drawn visitors since 1888. The restaurant sits at the centre of a Norman coastal cooking tradition shaped by tidal geography and centuries of religious tourism. Reserve well ahead, particularly for spring and summer visits when the causeway crowds are at their densest.
