If you want superb food, a wonderful and peaceful atmosphere and great service, Cafe Normandie is your respite. This long-established Annapolis restaurant is an Annapolis hallmark that enjoys its well-deserved reputation. Last evening we celebrated our 52nd anniversary there, and it's no wonder we chose Cafe Normandie. I am a halibut fanatic and yesterday it was the fish of the day. It was prepared beautifully over a bed of mashed cauliflower (with a twinge of lemongrass sauce). It was superb. My wife had the Annapolis Crepe--just filled with crab, shrimp, and scallops. And, oh by the way, the French Onion Soup is out of this world--the best ever.
