La Maison Rouge — Restaurant in Cherbourg

La Maison Rouge is a wonderful restaurant, we booked table for my husbands birthday .

When we arrived we were taken to our table, in an alcove the staff were having their meal. When they resumed to their respective duties every single member of staff spoke to us as they went past our table.

Our waitress was very friendly and gave us both a menu,1 in English and 1 in French. There are many chooses and prices to choose from. We ordered our meal as individual items.

Our starters arrived promptly and we both had the prawns, they were Devine. We both also had the pork with nuts and mushrooms. Again the food was exceptionally good. I had dessert which was lemon creme brulee, again it was perfection. The wine was also very good.

When we came to pay the bill the chef asked if we enjoyed the meal and when we said it was perfect there was a very delighted kitchen.

So if you wish to go when in the area I recommend firstly that you book because it gets very busy, a lot of local people use it, and secondly be prepared for amazing food. The bill was only slightly more than when we had a meal in the pizza bar.

The staff although busy looked after us...

Loved it!!!!

Amazing food, really lovely staff and absolutely dog friendly.

Conveniently located outside La Castels campsite, this French restaurant was a dream. Seafood so fresh and the special of Lobster was to die for.

To top it off the view over the bay was beautiful and we were given a table right near the window to enjoy.

We went for lunch and dinner with both occasions going beyond our expectations. Wine recommendations were also very good, local rather than cost.

Staff very helpful and happy to help us understand the menu. Worth staying at the campsite just to visit this place...

You will need to book on the...

Location, view an interior of restaurant is very good. The food is good, not amazing and therefore to expensive. What bothers me most though is that there is absolutely no effort to help the tourists that don't speak good French. Is it really so much effort to have an menu in English?. Even the special menu for camping guests has no translation and as soon as the staff notices that your French is bad, they instantly lose interest to help you. I am doing my best te speak French, but a little help would be appreciated... but then again, this is a French...
