Gourmet products local specialties and wines Cherbourg-En-Cotentin

It is a large shopping centre, completely rebuilt across the east boulevard a few years ago. With an average commercial gallery, the centre is open every day except Sunday, and offers many services, including car rental, a petrol station at prices defying competition as well. This is the main area of Tourlaville, and generally in the eastern part of the agglomeration.

It is an independent wine shop, in the heart of the city, and is run by a true connoisseur in the field: Philippe Mahier. La Cave du Roy offers hundreds of wines, stored in the cellar below the shop, allowing them to age and improve in optimal conditions. Here, we are not at a wine shop like so many others: we take the time to listen to your requests, your questions, and your tastes, to provide you with the best advice!

Opened a few months ago on Rue au Blé - and easily recognizable with its white front - this pretty boutique has become a haven for spirits enthusiasts. Hundreds of references are on offer here, from whisky to the most unexpected spirits, and you'll be advised by Thomas, who also runs the cocktail bar nearby. Many of the spirits on offer are the result of the team's relentless research: nuggets waiting to be discovered.

The interior is not lacking in colour, the products are not lacking in flavour! As its name suggests, Le Monde du macaron offers you these well-known specialities first and foremost. Here, they are made with excellent products, according to the hexagonal know-how: it is full of flavours, and declined according to multiple perfumes. If chocolate lovers are also in the spotlight here, with some nice proposals, you can also come here at lunchtime. The sign allows you to enjoy a salad, waffles or some pancakes.

Respecting the environment: this is the credo of this aquaponic farm located on the heights of the city. Here, trout, raised in several basins, filter the water that will be used to water the crops. The fish, like, of course, the produce from the greenhouses, is sold. We have to admit that, if the technique is still too rare, the result is exceptional: it is tasty, and we leave here having contributed to the maintenance of responsible crops.

It is on the commercial Place des Résistants that opened, at the end of last August, this nice delicatessen, managed by David. Here, the choice is vast and the possibilities are multiple. You will find many culinary references from the area, such as the charcuterie de la Trappe and many cheeses. But the offer does not stop here, since Le Panier also offers wines, cakes, and coffee: unbeatable!

In the heart of the province's district, on the heights of Octeville, this bakery is known for its peak on Sunday, the market day of the neighbourhood.

This is one of the best-known - and oldest - delicatessens in the city. Located in the city centre, this one, called Les 3 Marches, offers a vast number of carefully selected products.

The reception is very nice, and they will not lack attention and presence to inform you as well as possible. Finally, note that if you are looking for rare spices, this is also the place for you.

This nice cheese shop has chosen to move closer to Cherbourg town centre by migrating from Équeurdreville. Just a stone's throw from the theatre, the beautiful shop surprises with its impressive selection, most of which comes from local producers. In the basement, a ripening room allows Duronaj to offer excellent cheeses. Finally, like any good cheese shop, dairy products are offered. Special mention to the reception and the great knowledge of the staff, who know their products and how to advise customers.

The principle of this crop, which is not like the others - but which we can assume will develop in the years to come - is simple: here, we work with living soil. This means that the soil is respected by never leaving it bare, and that almost everything is done by hand. The soil is covered with fertilisers - organic, of course - or crops. And these are available for sale. Alrik Jumelin, the happy owner of the premises, will offer you potatoes, cabbage or beets: everything is good!

Oysters are the specialty of the house, the proof, with such a name, you had realised it! These charming young ladies with such renowned virtues - we are talking about oysters here - are bred directly in the oyster beds that have made the reputation of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue and its surroundings. From the city on the east coast to Cherbourg, there is only one step, which these oysters cross! New atmosphere, new decoration for the 2021 season!

A very nice place. V and B (for "wine and beer" but, as smart readers as you are, you will have understood it!) is a vast place that offers, let's face it, one of the biggest choices in the department: several hundred wines, other beers, but also spirits, some of which are difficult to find elsewhere. To complete the whole, a space is dedicated to tasting.

The bakery, of the well-known sign here, is located in the commercial area of Tourlaville, which is easily accessible. A large parking lot is at your disposal.

Finally, you will find a tea room, and even the possibility to take away pizzas, as tasty as the breads and pastries are excellent - that's saying something!

Laurent and Régine Viel took over from the Cherbourgeoise butchery. In addition to this meat, which continues to attract a few enthusiasts, the butchery makes it a point of honour to supply local producers with a guarantee of undeniable quality, while the house meats already have many followers. Among the other possibilities of the store, delicious dishes are prepared! Let's finally note that the soup is rich, for connoisseurs, and homemade - which changes everything!

In the Val-de-Saire district, a few steps from the centre of Cherbourg, Bio la Vie is quite simply one of the major organic shops in the area. From food to beauty products, a large number of references are proposed here.

The store, which has recently changed ownership, has kept wide opening hours and a dedicated staff very knowledgeable about the products on offer.

Fruits and vegetables directly from the farm to the consumer: that's what Raynel Farm offers you! For years, many people have been coming here at set times for their weekly supplies.

Who hasn't tasted the products of La Trinitaine? Originally from Brittany (which goes to show that Normans and Bretons agree at least on the taste of good things!), the brand is best known for its cookies, whose success has been undiminished for over 50 years. But the Cherbourg store goes beyond this, offering dozens and dozens of local gastronomic references: ciders and other spirits, jams and jellies, all carefully packaged to guarantee a successful gift idea!

It is by taking an old car dealership, on the East Boulevard, that Marie Blachère has settled in the agglomeration, and proves that the concept works, and works well! This, which already has dozens of outlets in Hexagone, proposes a simple and efficient concept: easy-to-reach places of sale, small prices and good products, whether they are pastries or fast food, with many formulas. And it works: many people stop here, in order to take advantage of the offers with sandwiches at unbeatable prices, or to take with them the famous "baguette of Mary". Practical, effective, cheap: we're sold!
