Overview

Les Fauves is the café-restaurant of Le Havre's MuMa museum, opened in April 2022 by the teams behind Chez Lili and Le Margote. Perched in the museum's upper levels, it bathes in natural light while overlooking the bustling port entrance, blending art, sea, and gastronomy in a unique setting. The bistronomic approach emphasizes fresh local ingredients, revisited bistro classics, and a weekly seasonal special crafted by Chef Gauthier Teissère.

Cuisine and Menus

The concise menu focuses on transparency and purity: starters at 7€, mains at 17€, desserts at 7€. Opt for entrée-plat or plat-dessert at 22€ (Tuesday-Friday) or the full menu at 28€. Vegetarian options are available, with generous portions highlighting Normandy produce. Post-lunch, it shifts to snacking and salon de thé service until closing, ideal for light bites amid museum visits.

Atmosphere and Views

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame mesmerizing port activity—ships gliding in and out against the horizon. The modern, luminous interior seats 70 for meals or 100 for buffets, fostering a convivial vibe. It's privatizable for events, with tailored proposals from the team, making it versatile for groups or intimate gatherings.
