6.0 Entre Terre et Mer in Honfleur was not our first or second choice but what a good pick it was. It has two locations across the street from each other, one more a regular restaurant and the other more of a bar a huitres plus. The menu is a wow-inducing 23 E for 2 courses and a glass of wine and they started the entire table off with a fabulous warm lobster soup with pulverized rocket cream on top.
I ordered the cold clam soup and the French friend we've known the longest time who is hosting us at her family's villa in Deauville had warm version - both quite exemplary.
Our two 14 year old grands both decided to have the wok'd vegetables which they ate half-heartedly; we three adults polished off what they didn't consume (silly girls), I had a rollade of pintadeau with a forcemeat that was divine, our friend had a merlan and Colette did justice to the three fish of the day. We realized we were getting quite inventive market-food for a steal.
For a final act Colette and the kids really enjoyed various sorbets, our friend had a deconstructed creme renversee and I had what was called a baba Calva but if it ever saw a drop of Calvados, I'd be surprised, but it was still quite good.
With mignardises, a bottle of Anjou Gamay and three coffees our bill cameout to 67 E a couple.
Go? Absolutely.
