Brasserie 'le Detour'

We were quickly welcomed in on a quiet Sunday night, where we enjoyed a fresh & tasty seafood meal. We began with delicious oysters & a generous cold seafood platter as starters; then onto mains of sea scallops & fresh fish in various (Normandy!) cream sauces. All the fish choices & the vegetable sides were freshly prepared & delicately seasoned. A generous serving of warm chocolate cake & ice cream topped off the evening. Attentive service. Thank you!

Friendly restaurant and attentive staff. I had snails as a starter it was delicious. However, the mussels I had been looking forward to were a little rubbery. I supposed that is pot luck. The apple tart was lovely and I do recommend that. The place gets busy in the summer season, I suggest booking ahead to avoid disappointment.

Another excellent meal. Had the offer starter. 3 oysters, 4 whelks and 5 prawns with a lovely mustard infused mayonnaise and a glass of Chardonnay for 12€ Ribeye beef and trout for mains. All perfectly cooked and delicious. We were early about 18:30 without a reservation but were seated fine. Within 40 minutes it was full with people being turned away. Great friendly service.

This is magnificent. I "walked up" to get the last table in the house with just under 1h wait (bar round the corner) and was rewarded with Moule Frites and Creme Brulé plus excellent service. Les Moules Frites marinieres et Creme Brulé le detour sont magnifique. Je me suis sentiment "au famille" a Le Detour :-)

What a lovely restaurant! The food is wonderful, the staff run like a well-oiled machine and work their socks off! But, even though they work hard, they are very friendly and accommodating. The owner does his fair share too! We will be back.

The name of the restaurant is rather fitting, right on the edge of beautiful and small town, that truly feels like one has taken a de tour, especially after driving through beautiful tiny streets where each side of the "road" is decorated by cute houses. The restaurant itself is rather lovely, the staff is friendly, personable, and welcoming, with service being on point, attentive but not overbearing which made the whole experience that much better. We went for the set menu, which for €26 gives three courses, very decently sized and filling enough to leave the place festively plump, yet not stuffed so you can go an explore the nearby cannon fodder towers which are part of the towns history. If you can, avoid having well done steak, else you would miss out on the exquisite flavours, tenderness and overall maginifique culinary wonder that I had this evening. The steak, as seen on the pictures, was truly and wonderfuly medium-rare and chef done a stellar job from start to finish, goats cheese salad for starter, steak for main with chips and salad (yes I like my greens) and top it off with delicious creme brule. My friends went for sea food options and oysters and we're raving about their dishes as well so overall, success with every dish. The restaurant is located next to the marina. This evening they accommodated variety of guests from family with a toddler, through two people tucked away in a corner, to small group of three friends and also a large group of people. Personally i found the place rather lovely, easy on the eye with great atmosphere, modern decor, outdoor seating are and positive vibe where one can truly enjoy their meal... Wholeheartedly recommended. This was a wonderful ending to our last evening in France, thank you.
