Had dinner as group of six. Staff attentative but very serious. They are polite and professional but it was all a bit stiff. The atmosphere would benefit from a few smiles and a more relaxed attitude.There was an open fire which is used to grill some of the meat on. That could be nice to see but you can't really follow what is happening as the person who grills blocks the view and everything is done in the darkness of that fire place. It is not at all clear who is responsible for grilling the meat. Sometimes it is a chef in his chef's uniform and sometimes one of the waitresses.Apéritif came with tasty mackerel and pork rillettes.We all had the cheapest (€22) menu. Despite the comments below...
We came here at the end of a short holiday nearby and had a really lovely evening. The staff were great, with helpful advice. The dining room (and make sure you book - it is only got 8 tables) is very nicely proportioned with a huge wood burning fire on one wall - depending on what you order, you can watch it being cooked! Also some very nice details like the lovely table ware.The food is great - several fixed price options plus a la Carte. We went for the 33 euro menu, which was excellent value and lovely food. The sauces were an absolute high light - and the traditional orange sauce for the duck was spectacular. Apple tart flambé-ed in Calvados was a visual highlight as well as delicious....
Un lieu de séjour habituel alors que nous voyageons de notre traversée en ferry à Zeebrugge, sachant qu'un accueil chaleureux nous attend. Les chambres, même si elles ne sont pas immenses, sont agréables et offrent suffisamment d'espace pour une pause. Toujours propres et confortables, nous profitons de l'expérience d'un séjour...dans une maison typique de la région. La nourriture, tant pour le dîner que pour le petit-déjeuner, est d'excellente qualité, bien préparée et présentée, à partir d'ingrédients d'origine locale. Un grand parking privé disponible, donc dans l'ensemble, un endroit presque parfait où séjourner. Si nécessaire, l'anglais est parlé. Nous avons séjourné ici plusieurs fois...
We visited this hotel restaurant on a cold evening and were welcomed warmly - including a roaring fire! Coats were taken and hung in a four poster bed (you have to see it!) and seated at our table. We chose the 30€ menu which included a terrine made from the local hunt's catch (hare and boar). Delicious. Then my husband and I chose the pink medallions in an award winning cider sauce. Dessert was Tarte Normande (a large slice of apple pie) served with vanilla ice cream and then flambeed at the table with calvados. Amazing. We had an excellent bottle of Bourgogne for a very reasonable 23€. All in all, a really good meal made with local ingredients well worth the money. Definitely recommended!

Four of us went to this restaurant for Sunday lunch, on the recommendation of the gite where we were staying.I really find it impossible to fault anything about the restaurant - food, service, price were all fantastic.We each had a main and dessert, with a bottle of cider and coffee (petit-fours included with the coffee). We staggered away, full of wonderful food, at a total cost of 125 euros. We had guessed the bill would be 150-190 euros - this is the bargain of all time.The food was excellent. We had duck (cuisse and magret) and steak. All perfect. The dessert was Normandie cuisine - my tarte normande was superb.It's impossible to rate this restaurant too highly.
en tant que propriétaire foncier américain à Saint Sever-Calvados, en Normandie, nous recommandons le manoir de l'acherie à tous ceux qui servent un dîner ou un déjeuner relaxant de haute qualité dans le merveilleux français, sans se presser et avec une excellente cuisine, avec du bouillon maison chaleureux et du dur pour trouver du martini américain. madame poignavant est une excellente hôtesse, sa normandie est heureuse d'avoir ce calibre de restaurant à disposition de nous tous. le commandant Rand H. wintermute, uscg (ret. cercle national des armées)
The Michelin Guide (in France at least) normally gets its special distinctions right. The Manoir has a "Bib Gourmand" for good food at reasonable prices. This it certainly provides although with a tiny proviso that this is uber traditional cuisine Normande with cream sauces a plenty. What cream sauces though! The price of 21 euros seems a utter bargain. A Belgian fellow luncher felt such quality would cost double in his country.There are three very real bonuses to the Manoir. The lovely old building itself, its situation and the nice people who run it.
It was difficult to fault the service, food or ambiance in this French country inn. The Apple Sorbet with Calvados will become a feature in our own dinner parties; the smoked mackerel 'amuse bouche' again superb. The Langoustine souffle was a little flat and rubbery but all else was first class. They served a very reasonably priced (cheap) but very good Cotes de Rhone Village from Earl Verdier Richard. Madame ensures her staff are on top of things at all times. Well worth a visit.
