Le Donjon Michelin star Birhday Dinner

Foodies only need to read this!
We had Jane’s birthday dinner a couple of days early as there was a Michelin star restaurant in Etretat in a beautiful hotel in the hill above the town so we had a view over the ocean and cliffs. The chef is a young local who only uses Normandy produce and only vegetables and seafood.
An eight course degustation menu ended up twelve courses;

1) French onion cheese ball dipped in beetroot
Whelks with aioli
Oyster with apple and cucumber juice emulsion.

2) ”Scrambled eggs” on haddock tartare

3) Bread with sumac and seaweed butter

4) Celeriac, Parmesan, Foie gras and mushrooms

5) Langoustine, Caviar and Seaweed

6) Scallop with mayonnaise and seaweed

7) Quince with apple and seaweed ice cream with Benedictine liqueur

8) Lobster with vegetables and lobster bisque

9) Salad and cheeses

10) Marshmallow and lemon juice

11) Birthday dish - grapefruit sorbet with olive tapenade plus biscuit
