Gourmet products local specialties and wines Saint-Vaast-La-Hougue

The Biscuiterie de Quinéville in Saint-Vaast, with its pretty store stocked daily, offers not only wonderful cakes, but also a number of local products that we love. There's also a tea room where you can enjoy pastries overlooking the harbour. We particularly like the terrace in summer. Special mention for the caramels, some of the best in the area. Give in to temptation and you'll never regret it!

The house is an institution to which people come from all over the Cotentin region. Opened in 1889 by Clovis Gosselin, the art of presenting the most common and the rarest products has been handed down from generation to generation, and the results are there! The stalls of this delicatessen take you on a global journey, selling spices from Jamaica, India... The shop also sells creamery, confectionery, fresh produce, roasted coffees, cellars, perfumes and gifts. It's one of the must-sees on your visit to Saint-Vaast!

This venerable market operates in summer and winter, but it is during the high season that it really comes into its own. Here, the local fruit and vegetable producers come up to Saint-Vaast as one man to offer their wonders, but we will also remember, and especially, the sea products, offered in an enchanting setting. Having a drink on the terrace in summer after shopping is a real must, like a break from time.

Founded in 1986 by master pastry chef Alain Mélique, Biscuiterie de Quineville offers traditional products made from local ingredients. The pretty shop front hides a thousand and one marvels renowned beyond the local borders. Here, visitors are invited to stroll through the store to discover all the delicacies of the region. Note that you can also order the delights of the house on the website.

La Verdura, located between Quettehou and Saint-Vaast, has been selling fruit and vegetables for over twenty years, most of them grown just a few kilometres away. Here, the overwhelming majority of produce is certified organic, a guarantee of origin. But that's not all: the shop also sells cookies, coffee, tea, spirits, cold meats, compotes, soups, honey and seafood. Finally, an efficient home delivery service is available: don't hesitate to make use of it.

Chinquante: no, there's no extra letter in this name, it's just the way of saying (and writing) the number of the Manche department in local dialect! And that's not all, because Chinquante is also the name of an incredible variety of beers, developed and produced in Saint-Vaast! Launched by a group of young enthusiasts, the business not only offers pale and amber beers, but also a number of original creations, some of which are made in secret. The latter won awards at the last Salon de l'Agriculture!
