La Confiance, French restaurant in Le Mont-Saint-Michel, France
La Confiance is a French restaurant on Le Mont-Saint-Michel, set inside a stone building with exposed wooden beams and an open fireplace in the dining room. The rooms are low and narrow, as is common in the medieval structures of the island.
The building dates from the 15th century, when it was used as a private home inside the fortified island. Over the centuries it was gradually converted into a restaurant, while keeping its original stone framework.
La Confiance serves Norman cooking based on seafood from the bay and produce from nearby farms. Eating here gives a sense of the food traditions that have long shaped life along this part of the French coast.
The restaurant sits on the Grande Rue, the main street of the island, so it is easy to spot while walking through. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially in summer, since the old building does not have many seats.
The name of the restaurant refers to a ship commanded by privateer Robert Surcouf, who captured British merchant vessels during the Napoleonic Wars. Surcouf was a well-known figure in the seafaring history of Normandy, and his name still appears across the region today.
