La Fleur De Sel
About
La Fleur de Sel is a gastronomic gem in the heart of Honfleur, led by acclaimed chef Vincent Guyon who has steered the restaurant for nearly 25 years. Set in a historic courtyard with an elegant open‑plan kitchen, the menu blends traditional French techniques with seasonal and local ingredients, accented by subtle Asian touches. The restaurant has earned a Bib Gourmand, a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, and is noted for its commitment to sustainable sourcing and eco‑friendly practices. Adjacent to the main dining space, the family‑run pâtisserie Pollen—opened by Vincent’s daughter Caroline—serves inventive pastries and a brunch menu that showcases local produce. Together, the two venues create a unique culinary experience that celebrates both haute cuisine and artisanal sweetness.
