Answers by this evening, please.

I haven't been for a few years, but our favourite was a small restaurant in one of the narrow streets behind the Café de Paris, as I remember it was called Au Tire Bouchon (the corkscrew)

Always been very impressed with Le Vauban, specially their Fruits de mer.

I haven't been for a couple of years but I had a superb meal in Le Vaubon. Mind you it's not exclusively fish.

If you really want an experience outside of Cherbourg (about 10/15km) try this :

http://www.aubergedesgrottes.com/

The views over the Channel Islands are spectacular, especially at sunset.

PS I had thought of the Auberge as a possible alternative for the Cherbourg trip dinner hiring a bus to get there. They can take 50/60 people.


In or near Cherbourg, Gault & Millau recommend :

Le Vauban : 22 quai Qualigny (2 toques) or La Gourmandine 24 rue Surcouf 50120 Equeurdreville Hainneville (1 toque).

Thanks guys, actually we got in late and left early, so it was an omelette in the cockpit. Still, the Vauban has been bookmarked for next time.

Strudders - saw you on pontoon N but it was a bit late to come knocking.

Le Grand Gousier

Good grief, still going?? Must be nigh on 20 years since my last visit! Used to love the summer evenings in the garden at the back. Awesome!!!

We can now recommend La Cale in the Place de La Republic - Vauban seemed a bit expensive, and La Cale was excellent.

Catch you back on A pontoon

A final addendum. Tonight we tried Au Tire-Bouchon in Rue de Notre Dame, and they specialise in seafood, bringing a huge blackboard to your table. Excellent food, service and value for money. X-Channel at stupid o'clock next
