Les Vapeurs sur Trouville-Sur-Mer

We had a lovely time at this Trouville institution; the Normandy sauce was, as always, excellent, and the ingredients were top-notch. The downsides were the very high prices compared to what you get (for example, €64 for the sole or €14-16 for desserts) and the rain that poured down on us while we were eating in the conservatory. The waiter kindly tried to plug the leaks, but without success.

I've been going to Trouville for over 30 years. And I'd never been to the restaurant "Les Vapeurs" until now (May 2026). The verdict, which I expected: the prices are really high for what you get on your plate. - The decor is great, retro, stylish, and period-appropriate. - The staff is very attentive, very welcoming to children too, and they even offered us a complimentary digestif! Excellent! 👍 - The food is good! It's nothing exceptional, but for a brasserie, it's good. - It's clean; we were inside in a quiet spot, and it wasn't very crowded. ❌ However, the prices are frankly expensive for what you get (a few examples: €7 for a portion of homemade fries, €14 for a chocolate fondant, €14 for a three-scoop sundae). My wife ordered mussels in cream sauce for €21, served without fries, so you have to add €7. That makes €28 for the mussels in cream sauce. I usually pay around €13… €35 for two small grilled red mullet… or you have to add another side dish. I included a photo of the desserts to show the prices. - The location is perfect, facing the port, near Rue des Bains, and close to the beach. In short, this restaurant is central and eye-catching, and it's been around for years. It's an institution, but I think it's the kind of place you only go to once. Don't go there expecting a good meal or good value for money. If you go with your family, your wallet will feel it. If the prices were more affordable, I might consider going back. I'm giving it 3 stars, that's the maximum!

Excellent food, friendly service, and a typical brasserie atmosphere. The location is perfect for people-watching. I'll definitely be back!

This brasserie is delightful. The razor clams were absolutely delicious and the steak tartare was perfect. And don't even get me started on how good the fries were!

Very good, however we regret a discrepancy between the prices charged and the generosity of the portions.

A must-try in Trouville. Non-stop service, simple yet high-quality cuisine. The only slight drawback is the small portion size of the basic fries and mussels.

I don't know this restaurant, but it has a lot of customers.

An extraordinary restaurant… the welcome, the food, our waiter Morgan were fantastic. Adorable, thank you so much for the atmosphere and thank you so much for bringing us a bowl of water for our little dogs. I highly recommend it.

Hello, I ordered scallops with mashed potatoes. The scallops were dried out. Probably reheated, judging by their appearance. Six scallops were served. The mashed potatoes were tasteless. The price was €36. I'll let you be the judge. 500ml of water was €7. Draft beer was €10. As for me, I won't be going back.

We were very well received with our dog; she was even given a bowl of water. Excellent service, I highly recommend it.
