Savour the Flavours of Jersey: A Food Lover’s Break
Welcome to Jersey: a taste of island life
Jersey is a favourite spot for food lovers. The island has an incredibly rich food heritage, thanks to its coastal waters and fertile farmland. With British and French influences, the food here is both familiar and fresh.
From fine dining restaurants to honesty boxes by country roads, Jersey has something for everyone. Whether shopping at farm stalls, enjoying seafood by the coast or cooking at home, the experience is always rewarding. Staying at Les Ormes puts you in the ideal place to cook, eat out and explore the very best of local food.
From farm to fork: Jersey’s best ingredients
Staying at Les Ormes means you have the freedom to enjoy Jersey at your own pace. Our self-catering lodges, apartments and villas provide comfortable spaces to cook and dine.
Spring brings the famous Jersey Royals, tasty new potatoes grown uniquely on the island. No visit is complete without trying them. Pair them with local dairy products like golden butter and rich cream for something truly indulgent and delicious.
Seafood lovers can enjoy hand-dived scallops, fresh lobster and oysters directly from the clean local waters. Jersey’s fishing boats deliver catches throughout the week offering some of the freshest, best seafood in the British Isles.
