Blossom Bistrot

Blossom Bistrot in Vernon offers well-priced, top-quality food from a menu packed with flavour and changing daily. Head chef Gabin, trained under several master chefs, applies cooking techniques from around the world to create surprising yet accessible combinations while committing to sustainable cuisine. The restaurant prioritises local sourcing: many references use 100% Normandy produce and 80% of ingredients are bought directly from known producers. Blossom is recognised by the Michelin Guide (Selected) and pairs classic French bistro dishes with international touches. The newly renovated dining room pairs polished concrete floors and whitewashed walls with vintage French bistro furniture. A riverside terrace affords breathtaking views of the Seine and Giverny’s limestone cliffs. An intimate private room, linked by a large arch, retains sightlines to the river. The menu centres on French cuisine and classic bistro dishes often given international twists. Almost all produce is sourced within 100 kilometres; the kitchen uses line-caught fish from the Normandy coast and practices whole-carcass butchery. Specialities include homemade charcuterie and a toast of ricotta with lavender and tomatoes.
