There is a wealth of seafood restaurants in Deauville and Trouville, unsurprisingly, and the catch of the day is always a reliable choice.

Expect to pay about 10-20% less for a meal compared with what you would pay in the UK. As always, choosing the set menus are better value than eating à la carte, with no compromise on quality.

For a real treat try seafood at Restaurant Augusto http://www.restaurant-augusto.com/Fr_accueil.htm

Refined cuisine in a rarified atmosphere at Chez Marthe http://www.chezmarthe.com/

For race goers, try seasonal dishes at Le Yearling http://www.leyearling.com/fr/accueil.htm
