Le Machiniste sur Caen

07/09/2024: La carte est restreinte mais les plats sont maîtrisés. Le dîner se passera dans un cadre fabuleux : authentique maison Caenaise d'avant guerre. Pensez à réserver car le lieu est petit. Privilégiez la table avec la fenêtre.

06/09/2024: (Veggie review) Great location, just off the busy Pl. St. Sauveur. Welcoming service, olives on the table while we ordered. Helpful that the owner speaks English. Two vegetarian entrees was an excellent start - oeuf cocotte and fricassee d'artichauts (not asperges as on the menu). Both really delicious. Then the standout dish of our week in Caen - the 'beautiful vegetarian plate'. It was really was beautiful to look at and to taste. We shared so there would be room for dessert - on one evening the raspberry 'soup' and lemon sorbet, and second time the heavenly chocolate mousse-type cake. We had lots of good food in Caen but this was the best. About 47EUR (40GBP) for two of us with a small drink (lovely dry cider, and apple juice second time).
