Samphire
Formerly the Michelin-starred Ormer, now an all-day upmarket bistro in the town centre. It is listed in the Michelin Guide.
Samphire is at 7–11 Don Street, the former site of the Michelin-starred restaurant Ormer. It is now an all-day upmarket bistro led by young chef Tom Radiguet and is still listed in the Michelin Guide. Signature dishes include tempura Grouville Bay oysters with a Vietnamese fish sauce dressing, Jersey beef fillet with Madeira and truffle jus, Roscoff onions and triple-cooked chips. A regional tasting menu, the Regional Table, changes every few weeks. Two courses cost about £38 and three courses about £45, which is good value. Brunch is served on Saturdays.
