Omelette de la Mere Poulard



I went to France end of September and I visited Mont Saint Michel for the first time. It is an island in Normandy (North-West of France) where an abbey has been built on a rock! The weather was very nice considering the season. and it was very beautiful and interesting to visit!
But getting to the important moment of the day for a NOMster: Lunch.
In Mont Saint Michel there is one very very famous restaurant: La mere Poulard. It is right at the entrance of the Mont, on the left hand side.


Its most famous dish is their fluffy omelette, omelette de la Mere Poulard which costs 65 euros T.T
A little too expensive for my taste, we looked for another place to have lunch in. Turns out most cafes/restaurants on the little island do have the omelette for much cheaper! So here it is I had the omelette similar to the one from La Mere Poulard.
The omelette was very fluffy on the inside; it was like mousse. The secret is to whip the egg for a long time, until it becomes all fluffed up. Taste wise, it didn't have that much... It just tasted like a normal omelette. It doesn't fill you up very much and it's a little bit boring... Overall a little bit disappointed with this overrated dish and I think home made omelets can be much tastier and way cheaper.






All the fluff! 

It also came with fries!
