A Contre Sens sur Caen

A very pleasant setting with a young, cheerful team who are very tactful and humorous. It's so nice to receive a simple, unpretentious welcome. We were in a restaurant without being bothered by an "overcrowded" atmosphere. For all of that, THANK YOU. When ordering, the question was asked: "Do you have any allergies or ingredients you don't like?" I answered yes, specifying one ingredient. But I forgot others, and the second course started with one of those ingredients. I tasted it anyway, and wow: marvelous, almost a delight! So for that: THANK YOU again and WELL DONE, because usually, that doesn't fly at all 😂. Finally, a final THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS: the harmony of the dishes, the carefully prepared ingredients, and the elaborate dishes are beautiful, delicious, and well presented by the staff. Not a single flaw, just pure bliss in a very pleasant setting.

I came for my birthday, having never heard of this gourmet restaurant that recently opened on the peninsula. The very friendly (and elegant) staff welcomes you with great care in a modern, tastefully decorated establishment. Once seated, you are introduced to the chef's philosophy and concept: a set seven-course menu that can be served with wines selected and paired by the chef, and can be modified upon request or in case of allergies. So take your time to savor the various starters, desserts, and main courses. Surprising flavors and combinations (strawberries and foie gras, for example), unexpected ingredients, and the high quality of the local produce used make dinner a very special occasion. Be prepared for a significant expense (98 euros for the menu, not including drinks, which is quite high compared to other restaurants of the same caliber), but for a special occasion, it's a wonderful experience.

Excellent tasting menu in professionally run modern restaurant. We had the 7 courses and every dish was a delight. Staff were excellent. I would highly recommend.

A chef with a lot of potential, but too inconsistent: the amuse-bouches were uninteresting. The starters were delicious! The fish and meat were cooked perfectly, but the side dishes didn't live up to expectations. The cheese course was very good, but the desserts were average… it's quite strange; the chef clearly has a knack for it, and oddly enough, it only shows occasionally.

Delicious food with specialties from Normandy. Please note that the dishes are served in quick succession. Let us know if you would like more time between courses.

Excellent cuisine, surprisingly refined, with a delightful combination of flavors and textural contrasts. The service was very pleasant, thanks to the cheerful waiter (Angelo, I believe), to whom we wish good luck with his exam next week, and the sommelier who introduced us to an excellent French white wine. This is our second visit, and we are delighted once again. Thank you.

An exceptional moment! Thank you so much, it was absolutely perfect, absolutely delicious. See you soon!

An unforgettable experience! We had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, the portions generous, the wine pairings perfect, and the service impeccable! Thank you so much for this evening.

Always a pleasure and a perfect moment

Everything was perfect, from the appetizers to the dessert! Exquisite dishes, delightful surprises, all while remaining deliciously indulgent! Highly recommended! 👍🏻⭐
