Dining at La Becterie

In France, the concept of table d’hôtes is a legally defined offering. It allows hosts of bed and breakfasts to serve evening meals to their guests, as long as the meal is shared at the same table and with a single menu. It’s a way of experiencing a home-cooked meal in an authentic, convivial setting. In Cotentin, this tradition is alive and well! Come and experience la table d’hôtes at La Becterie.

In 2025, prices are €22 per adult and €16 per child. Please let us know in advance of any allergies or ingredients you prefer to avoid—we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

The entrance to the house is accessible for people with reduced mobility. There is a ramp, and the doors have a width of 90 cm. People with reduced mobility are encouraged to park in the courtyard, in front of the ramp, rather than in the parking lot.

Beyond Restaurants: Why Stay In?

There’s no doubt that restaurants have their charm. But after a long day of exploring the Cotentin peninsula, heading back out for dinner can sometimes feel like a chore. This is especially true if you cycle Cotentin and have no car. Waiting for a table, navigating busy places, or discovering your chosen spot is closed can take the shine off an otherwise perfect day. At La Becterie, we understand this. That’s why we keep a curated list of great nearby restaurants for those who want to venture out. For those who don’t, we offer the comfort and ease of a home-cooked dinner right where you’re staying.

Experience Dining In at La Becterie

One of the joys of offering table d’hôtes is sharing not just food, but stories and moments. I love to cook, and preparing meals with fresh, local ingredients is my way of welcoming you into our home. Staying in for dinner isn’t just about convenience; it’s about connection. Around the table, we take time to talk, to laugh, to discover each other’s lives and exchange favorite spots around the Cotentin. It’s a warm, human experience, just like home should be.

A Taste of My Kitchen: Dishes and Delights

At La Becterie, a few dishes have become true guest favorites: my zucchini flan, a rich and comforting beef bourguignon, a flavorful red lentil dhal, and a fragrant apricot tart with rosemary. This last one takes time and care, but it’s worth every step. To end the evening, we often share a cup of mint and verbena herbal tea from the garden. Then, why not head over to the game room? With a pool table, table football, and more than 75 board games, the night doesn’t have to end at dessert.
