L'Athome

L'Athome was created in 2014 in Heugueville-sur-Sienne and relocated in 2020 to the bourg of Blainville-sur-Mer. The restaurant operates a wine cave with around sixty evolving references focused on artisan winemakers who practice respectful viticulture and clean vinification, runs regular cooking classes and wine tastings, and has been selected by the Michelin Guide as a recognised address. The restaurant sits in an authentic seaside village near Agon-Coutainville, close to shellfish-farming areas, offering a coastal, authentic bistro setting. The kitchen presents a bistronomic, modern approach with clear Asian influences and focuses on seasonal, local and fresh ingredients. The team emphasizes careful selection of produce from the Cotentin region, including market vegetables and seafood sourced a few hundred metres from the restaurant. An artisanal smoking practice developed in-house supplies house-smoked fish and other smoked products sold directly and via local partners and markets. The house was created by two passionate restaurateurs: Edwige, who manages front of house, and Lionel Cotentin, who leads the kitchen; Lionel is a globetrotter. Specialties include house-smoked Bomlo salmon, house-smoked haddock and rillettes, Risotto Carnaroli with haddock, Pluma de cochon Ibérique BBQ, coastal pollock (Lieu jaune) with herb pesto and house-smoked cheese “Le p’tit Michelot”.
