Normandy


When you (or your wallet) need a break from gourmet dining, head to this brash and boisterous brasserie, where pan-fried salmon, steak, chicken fajitas and other filling dishes are served in ample portions. It's a local favourite of all ages and open long hours, plus it's good value for money.
