La Table d'Elka

La Table d’Elka is a family-run gastronomic restaurant in Varengeville-sur-Mer led by Elodie, occupying a renovated Norman longère and offering warm, understated hospitality aimed at family meals, romantic dinners and friendly gatherings. The chef’s cooking blends classic French technique with personal inventiveness inspired by Polish family memories. The kitchen works closely with seasonal produce — herbs from the on-site garden, fruits from the orchard, honey from their hives and frequent local producers — and practises artisanal methods such as long-simmered broths and house preserves. The restaurant is recognised in the Michelin Guide (Selected) for its modern, product-driven cuisine. The dining room is elegant and luminous, furnished with natural materials — wood, linen and terracotta — and large bay windows that open onto the garden and orchard, creating a cocooning, nature-connected ambiance with comfortable seating and restrained, delicate decoration. The cuisine is personal, seasonal and product-focused, marrying French classicism with inventive touches and time‑honoured techniques; occasional flavours from Asia and the Maghreb appear alongside local Normandy produce. Laurent Kleczewski is the chef. Specialties include a six-course tasting menu (Menu dégustation), the Menu Elka of seasonal fish, refined meats and aged cheeses, and Menu Léa with optional supplements such as veal sweetbreads or blue lobster; signature dishes include fleurs de courgette farcies, house-made sourdough bread, seasonal desserts and a selection of Normandy cheeses.
