The story
At La Licorne Royale, Chef Christophe Poirier crafts modern cuisine that draws deeply from the land. The menus are inspired by seasonal produce from the hotel’s own potager and farm, a practice that grounds every plate in the flavors of Normandy. This commitment to fresh, local ingredients earned the restaurant a Michelin star in 2026, a recognition of its high-quality cooking.
The restaurant is part of the Hôtel La Licorne, a historic property in Lyons-la-Forêt. The setting is elegant yet welcoming, with a focus on letting the ingredients speak. Guests can expect a dining experience that is both refined and rooted in the region’s culinary traditions.
Chef Poirier’s approach is evident in dishes like the Filet d'agneau en croute, a recipe shared on the hotel’s website. The kitchen’s work reflects a deep respect for the seasons, turning simple produce into something memorable. Whether for lunch or dinner, the restaurant offers a taste of modern French cuisine that is both precise and generous.
