A NORMAN RESTAURANT
WITH EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCTS

To offer you excellent meals, our chefs cook with rigor using exceptional and unusual ingredients. This includes meats such as Japanese Black and Rubia Gallega, which are among the best meats in the world, as well as Ebène and Diva caviars from the Bassin d’Arcachon, and the unique Maison Duler ham.

But what makes the meat at L’Institution truly exceptional, in addition to its remarkable and prestigious origin, is the cooking method developed by the chefs, which gives it all its flavor. If the cooking of meat is a controversial subject and divides the French population between those who prefer it rare and those who like it well-done, L’Institution has the solution!

To give ribeye steaks and other meat cuts a unique slightly smoky flavor, our chefs use the charcoal-grilling method. The delight you’ll experience after tasting your dishes may well convince you that L’Institution is the best restaurant in Pont-L’Évêque…
