Ermitage - Mont-Saint-Michel

We were guests at the restaurant, not staying at the hotel. The welcome was fulsome, the staff super helpful, the setting delightful. However we were instantly bombarded with an offer of champagne and caviar on a trolley pushed to our table. It was invasive. Secondly I'm no fan of pets in restaurants but there were two dogs with separate customers, one being held in the customer's arms with its paws on the table. I noticed no attempt to correct this from the staff. Were the customers perhaps too important or too rich? Our meal (dinner) itself fell far short of expectations. The starter of asparagus was good. The main course, however, of pre sale lamb, was just this side of edible. The lamb, supposedly amongst the best in the world, was overcooked, dry, barely warm and small. It had a slightly unpleasant taste. The accompaniment was a round white mash, which according to the menu was lingot beans, tasted like a rather unpleasant potato puree. It was dry, stodgy, barely warm again and needed a double swallow. Apart from this there were no vegetables. The dessert, however, of white chocolate and pear, was excellent. My wife and I stayed 4 days in the Mont St Michel area, ate at 5 different restaurants, and this was definitely bottom of the list as well as the most expensive. The place is pretty, elegant, and classy, and the staff friendly, but the word 'pretentious' springs to mind, and if only the food could have matched the surroundings and the service

A nice experience for a weekend

Le 22 Septembre 2024 : La chambre de l'annexe de l'hôtel l'Hermitage dernier étage sans ascenseur était odieuse : une odeur de pipi de chat insupportable, moquette toute tâchée, fauteuil egalement, salle de bain minuscule, si vous avez un peu de poids, impossible d'aller aux toilettes ! Pour le prix, c'est inadmissible ! 357 € la nuit en deli-pension, c'est du vol manifeste ! Je déconseille absolument en ce qui concerne le logement !!! Aucun respect pour vos résidents !
