L'As de Trefle-Restaurant
About
L'As de Trefle is an elegant gastronomic restaurant and open‑air veranda located in the picturesque coastal town of Bernières‑sur‑Mer, Normandy. Under the guidance of Michelin‑starred chef Anthony Vallette, the restaurant offers a culinary journey that balances classic French techniques with contemporary eco‑responsible innovation. Dishes are crafted from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients—seafood from the Channel, produce from nearby farms, and regional cheeses—creating a menu that embodies the terroir of Normandie. The interior exudes understated chic, while the veranda provides a tranquil seaside setting, perfect for enjoying the rhythmic waves alongside a meticulously curated wine list. Guests frequently praise the thoughtful pairing of each course with wines selected by the in‑house sommelier, ensuring a harmonious dining experience. The restaurant opens from 12:00 to 13:15 for a relaxed lunch service, and from 19:00 to 21:15 for dinner, with special menus that rotate throughout the year. Moreover, L'As de Trefle hosts weekend specials such as the “Coup de coeur du Chef” and the festive “ST‑Sylvestre” menu, which showcase avant‑garde flavors while still honoring traditional French roots. L'As de Trefle’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond the menu: the establishment partners with local producers, employs waste‑reduction practices, and promotes responsible tourism. With bilingual staff fluent in French and English, it welcomes travelers from around the world, offering an environment that is as family‑friendly as it is romantic and sophisticated.
