The story
At the Château de Sully, a four-star hotel set in an 18th-century manor near Bayeux, the restaurant Le 1720 offers a dining experience rooted in the seasons and the Norman landscape. The name itself recalls the year the château was built, grounding the meal in a sense of place and history.
The dining room, along with a veranda that opens onto the English-style park, provides a calm, refined setting for the chef’s creations. The menu here is a study in modern French cuisine, driven by the best of what the region provides. Depending on the season, you might find foie gras and smoked eel, Saint-Jacques scallops, roasted squab, or venison from the local hunt. Each dish is carefully composed, balancing technique with the integrity of the ingredients.
The service is attentive and polished, matching the quality of the cooking. The restaurant’s commitment to excellence has earned it a Michelin recommendation, a recognition that speaks to the consistent skill in the kitchen and the thoughtful experience from start to finish.
Le 1720 is an integral part of the Château de Sully, which also features a heated indoor pool, a wellness area with a sauna and jacuzzi, and a large, secure park. The restaurant is open to hotel guests and outside diners alike, making it a destination for anyone seeking a memorable meal in the Calvados countryside.
