Gourmet products local specialties and wines Ouistreham

Pasquier & Co, welcome to Anaïs and Fabian! Breads, viennoiseries, but also modern, homemade cakes and creative proposals. You'll find panettone, éclair au chocolat, poire Tatin, tarti'Brest and Pomme Surprise. This shortbread tart, filled with a brunoise of fruit paste and hazelnut cream, is topped with white chocolate ganache and applesauce. The whole is decorated with vanilla chantilly and a little gold leaf on top. This cake, created for their appearance on M6, is a real treat!

For almost 30 years, this independent wine merchant has been taking us on a journey to the heart of the vineyards, overlooking... the sea, the lighthouse and the port. Over 300 wines from the best grape varieties of our terroirs in this Ali-Baba (rne) cellar, 90% of them from small growers. Local wines (do you know Coteaux du Giennois?) or grands crus, spirits, ciders, beers from local brewers, rums from overseas and elsewhere, there's something for every palate and every budget. There's nothing flashy about it, but the presentation is neat and tidy, with regular new arrivals.

Since 2018, Tiphaine and Stéphane's chocolate shop has been located in the town of Ouistreham. With your nose glued to the window, you give in to temptation: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, garnished chocolate... The range, made with Valrhona - the professional brand - and grands crus (pure Brazil, pure Madagascar), includes a variety of creations (mendiants, roses des sables, lollipops, tablettes, orangettes) and confectionery (fruit jellies, caramels, marshmallows). In addition to the chocolates, gourmets will also fall for the fine pastries.

French breakfast means: baguette, croissant and pain au chocolat. And that's where Yan and Pauline come in, since they took over the bakery 2 years ago, "the cherry on top of the breakfast cake": the chocolate praline bread! To try it is to adopt it. Viennese pastries, pastries, especially the Grand-Mère flan, the old-fashioned way with cream and wooden circle. The bread will also delight you: red label flour, natural yeast. Last but not least: the burger buns that will ensure a round of applause at home during the meal.

Unmissable! The place of the delights of the sea that the Ouistrehamais like to share with their friends. The obligatory point of passage for the best of the night fishing: sole, turbot, brill, mackerel, whiting, rays, cuttlefish and other sea bass, crustaceans (eels, edible crab, scallops, whelks, crab, cockles, prawns, lobsters...), grey shrimps... compete for freshness. Between October and May, the scallop takes the lion's share of the landings. A small alley and about ten large signs for this authentic market.

A welcoming boutique where you'll find a wealth of local products (with an s), finds from Normandy and beyond. Loose teas and spices, ground and granulated coffees, blended rums, Italian pasta of every color, apple juice, ciders and calvados from the Loterie de Clécy cellars, Normandy beers from the Odon (awarded a medal in Paris). Gift baskets, jams, boxes of chocolate: you'll find your arms full. In summer, try artisanal ice creams from the Haizerie farm in Vaux-sur-Aure. In winter, warm up with mulled wine!

Don't be surprised if you come across people with chocolate moustaches or whipped cream on the tip of their noses! They are definitely coming from the Rue de la Mer! Even if it has changed name and owners (now Jérémy and Kelly), this gourmet meeting place, founded in 1910, remains very popular. The recipe for melting pancakes and crispy waffles remains the same as at Simard's. The trend is also towards bubble tea and homemade milkshakes. The season promises to be beautiful and tasty. Smart tip: collectable tickets for a free pancake or waffle.
