Why go
La Salicorne is a sensible first Ault booking when the goal is a simple local meal rather than a destination restaurant plan. Verified detail is limited, so flexible diners will get more out of it than groups needing firm answers on menu format, dietary handling, or occasion-level polish.
About La Salicorne
La Salicorne is a restaurant in Ault with a limited weekly schedule. It serves Friday and Saturday dinner from 7–9 PM and Sunday lunch from 12–2 PM; Monday through Thursday are closed. Dress code is smart casual. Beyond those basics, details such as the chef, cuisine label, awards, price tier, menu format, and signature dish are not specified, so it is best approached with simple, practical expectations.
Use it as a planned Ault meal
For a first-timer, the main planning point is the narrow service pattern. La Salicorne is better suited to a planned Friday or Saturday dinner, or to Sunday lunch, than to a spontaneous meal on another day of the week. With limited detail available, avoid building expectations around a specific dish, service style, or price level.
The sensible strategy is direct: choose the meal slot that matches the opening hours, dress smart casual, and confirm any important details directly before going. If the first meal needs a clearer brief, compare La Salicorne with other nearby dining options before committing.
Plan the rest of the Ault stop around the meal
Because the details are lean, this is not the restaurant to book when a group needs firm public answers on dietary handling, private space, or a named menu format in advance. Keep the planning simple: match the visit to the opening times and verify anything else that matters directly with the restaurant.
Quick reference: La Salicorne is open Friday and Saturday 7–9 PM and Sunday 12–2 PM, closed Monday through Thursday, with a smart casual dress code. Cross-shop if you need pricing, dietary information, or a clearly defined menu format before booking.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
La Salicorne presents a quietly refined coastal character rooted in place. The restaurant sits on the edge of the Somme estuary, where salt air and the Channel’s influence shape both mood and menu; its name—taken from the salt-marsh glasswort—signals the kitchen’s attention to local shoreland flavors. The dining room reads intimate and elegant but never overwrought: the focus is on ingredients that speak of tidal flats, nearby fishing grounds and salt-marsh pasture. Expect a restrained, terroir-driven experience that feels both of the sea and true to the small Norman town that houses it.
Best For
This is an appointment for diners who want a focused coastal tasting of place. La Salicorne suits date nights and special-occasion meals for couples or small groups who appreciate culinary provenance — the kitchen builds its menu around what the Somme bay and nearby marshes actually yield. The setting on the Grande Rue in a small cliff town keeps the mood intimate rather than celebratory, so it’s best for diners seeking a thoughtful, ingredient-led evening rather than a loud, boisterous outing.
Ordering Tips
Let the tides and the daily catch guide your choices: the menu is explicitly tied to what the estuary and surrounding waters produce at any given moment. Prioritize the seafood signatures listed — ceviche de bar, couteaux en persillade, linguine with clams — and ask the staff what arrived that morning. Don’t miss local coastal touches such as salicornia and, when available, agneau de pré-salé from the salt marshes. Expect seasonality and variability; enquiring about the freshest items yields the most regionally specific plates.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Ault
Choose La Salicorne when ease and a local Ault meal matter more than a clearly signposted modern-cuisine format. L'Itinérance is the stronger cross-shop for diners who want a defined Modern Cuisine experience at €€€, while Le Goût du Large gives a clearer value signal at €€ with the same broad modern-cuisine cue.
If the decision is mainly about risk management, La Salicorne works for a flexible first meal, but La Pile d'Assiettes, La Gare Aux Gourmets, and Crustum are worth checking when availability or group needs matter. With no verified price tier for La Salicorne, Le Goût du Large is the safer value comparison, and L'Itinérance is the clearer splurge comparison.
For ambiance, avoid assuming too much from labels alone. The practical split is this: book La Salicorne for a straightforward Ault meal, look at L'Itinérance for a more structured modern-cuisine night, and use Le Goût du Large when a defined €€ option feels like the smarter call.
