Les meilleurs restaurants en Calvados

01/07/2026: The mussels were good and the service was impeccable. I'll be back.

01/07/2026: I was very pleasantly surprised. It's on the main street, yet the price is affordable. The galette is excellent, and the Caesar salad is delicious. I highly recommend it.

02/05/2026: Passing through, we wanted to find a nice little place to eat before hitting the road again. The sign said we'd find some kind of grill restaurant, so we pushed open the door and, surprise, it was a wok... with a buffalo head on the sign. Anyway, nothing like what we expected. In short, it really wasn't good, and don't even get me started on the grilled food! The cook doing the grilling wasn't very clean, his arms were sweaty and his forehead was dripping. He handled the meat with gloves—I don't know what he'd touched with them—and then slapped on the well-cooked, dripping-greasy fries, and that's just the beginning... In the end, we were very disappointed, and I left with an empty stomach. 😔

24/04/2026: Good all-you-can-eat buffet, but some of the dishes are definitely frozen... Still, it's good.

09/06/2026: We ordered a bacon burger (medium) and pasta with salmon. They also kindly brought us a small bowl of olives to start. The burger was okay (almost overcooked, which is fine by me), but the fries were terrible. The pasta with salmon was tasty, but the temperature fluctuated between cold and warm. A few days earlier, we ordered pizza to go. That was okay. You can eat much better in the area for the same price. The ambiance was pleasant, and the service staff was very friendly and attentive.

07/06/2026: We ate there two evenings in a row, a party of six adults. The cocktails are excellent and varied. The menu is small but very diverse, and the food is high quality. The desserts are homemade and beautifully presented. Special mention goes to our server both evenings, Alex, who was incredibly kind and attentive. It was impeccable.

01/12/2025: My favorite little restaurant in the old port area. The Camembert crisp is absolutely delicious, and the chicken à la Normande is one of my favorite dishes. The restaurant is pleasant and the food is always good. I highly recommend it.

30/11/2025: If you're used to cooking, don't go to this restaurant. We didn't enjoy the dishes at all, especially the sea bass and scallops. As for the wine by the glass, you don't see the bottle because it's not served in front of you. The tarte Tatin dessert was okay. I wanted to try it despite the rather negative reviews. I can confirm the reviews…

06/04/2026: Delicious and generous portions! Very friendly staff! I highly recommend it.

05/04/2026: Welcomed by the owners and their children, who orchestrated our meal wonderfully with their insightful recommendations, we were charmed by the delicious cuisine, the superb grilled meats, and the most attentive service. This is a restaurant that honors traditional cooking, evoking both the flavors of yesteryear and those of today. A truly delightful experience and an enchanting interlude.

01/05/2026: Very good restaurant, warm welcome, great atmosphere on weekends, with a beautiful view of Trouville.

28/04/2026: We were looking for a nice place for lunch, this was very pleasant and the waiter gave us good advice. Don't hesitate to try it.

10/05/2026: We had a wonderful evening at La Taberna. The pitcher of sangria and the generous and excellent tapas platter were delicious. Thank you to the new owner!

09/05/2026: Visiting Honfleur on May 8th, we were very disappointed despite the change of ownership. The music is far too loud, to the point where you can't hear yourself speak. The prices are high for rather mediocre quality and products that seem mass-produced. It's a shame, because there are much better wine bars in Honfleur, more pleasant and of higher quality. This is a profession, and the owner seems completely out of her depth. We do not recommend this establishment.

11/05/2026: Warm atmosphere. Delicious food. Very good dinner.

10/05/2026: I had a wonderful time at this restaurant, which is also dog-friendly. The staff is very welcoming, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food is delicious. It's not exactly in the heart of Honfleur, but it's definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend it!

23/04/2026: [Response] It's regrettable that you prefer irony to self-criticism. My feedback is constructive because it highlights a flaw: a customer, even if they aren't making a purchase at that moment, should be treated like everyone else. This is a fundamental business principle. Rather than denying the obvious quality of your products and your customer service. ***************************** I feel compelled to give very negative feedback about this business, as I've been a customer for a long time. I urgently needed to use the restroom, and despite my insistence, I was refused permission to use it. I find this a ridiculous lack of solidarity, especially since I specified that I'm a long-time customer. Therefore, I feel compelled to provide a full and objective review of this shop's products, which are quite mediocre. The quiches are extremely sparsely filled, the cookies aren't the best in the neighborhood, and the reason I came was simply the absence of a queue. Finally, the prices are outrageous considering the quantity and quality. I think it's reasonable to say that if such behavior occurs, it's probably due to toxic management that employees are forced to endure.

20/04/2026: waitress with yellow glasses, very unpleasant towards customers and very haughty

29/05/2026: ★★★★★ A wonderful discovery on the Cabourg promenade. We booked somewhat by chance after spotting this magnificent hotel while strolling along the beach. The location is superb, the restaurant is elegant, peaceful, and offers a beautiful sea view. There was a slight mix-up upon arrival: I had noticed the burgers displayed at the entrance and had come with the intention of trying one. I later discovered that they are only available at the bistro for lunch, while in the evening the restaurant operates as a fine dining establishment. A simpler and more welcoming explanation would undoubtedly have avoided this misunderstanding. We ultimately chose the €95 Balbec Menu and we weren't disappointed. Special mention to the staff who readily accommodated my dietary requirements: I don't eat veal or other young animals, and an alternative was offered with great professionalism. The dishes were generally excellent. I found the mackerel appetizer a little unusual in texture, but my husband thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything else was remarkable: beautiful presentation, precise cooking, and balanced flavors. The beef was particularly well-done, tender, and flavorful. We also greatly enjoyed the organic cider on the menu and the champagne by the glass. The service deserves special mention. The entire team was attentive and professional, with a special mention for a young Guinean waiter who was extremely friendly, efficient, and considerate, and who greatly contributed to the quality of our evening. The only real drawback: during our visit, which was very hot, the dining room was quite warm. However, the staff did their best to compensate, notably by regularly replenishing the ice buckets and remaining very attentive to the comfort of the guests. In the end, a wonderful experience in a magnificent setting, with refined cuisine, excellent service, and a peaceful atmosphere. We will gladly return.

16/05/2026: The very best in the region. I've never tasted more original cuisine. The portions aren't huge, but the combination of flavors in each dish is exceptional. It's expensive, certainly, but well worth it. And the wine list is equally impressive.

29/05/2026: Well, you have to like that sort of thing these days 😉.

24/05/2026: Avoid this place at all costs. The bins are overflowing, the toilets aren't cleaned, and the manager is incredibly unpleasant to both her employees and customers. Just one thing: close this establishment.

04/06/2026: Disappointed I can't give you a 0... That's what best represents you (I'm speaking particularly to you, madam waitress, who will recognize yourself without any problem)! Okay, let's start with the lady's friendliness... which only made us want to leave immediately after every interaction! Fortunately, we were greeted by a charming young man who was initially very friendly – ​​the only positive point of this experience. But as soon as the service began... the scene changed. And there, we were met by the worst waitress I have ever seen. I almost never write negative reviews, precisely so as not to ruin a restaurant. Even when it's not perfect, I always try to be constructive. But not this time. Absolutely not. I'm not going to hold back. Let's start with the wait time: about 45 minutes. Well, that's still acceptable. But dishes served 5 to 10 minutes apart… And the lady's friendliness… apparently optional! Haughty, curt, unpleasant in every response. Honestly, you should change professions. A salad was served to someone at the table… unwashed, with dirt on it. Yes, it can happen. But the excuse? Easier to blame the greengrocer who, presumably, is responsible for washing them in your kitchens. A salad that reflects your character! You can't even manage that… Then—and this is really something—a simple question asked by my father (before I even arrived at the table, still on my way to join them): "Are any of your meats halal?" A legitimate question, for simple reasons: allergies for some, dietary preferences for others (three-quarters of the table opted for vegetarian or pescatarian options without you asking a single question). But clearly, asking this question bothered you deeply. I sincerely hope no one ever asks you about allergens, otherwise, good luck… Moving on. A kebab wrap with cold fries after a 40-minute wait. Of course, the fries aren't hot anymore when the dishes arrive late… I've only mentioned two dishes, and we're already at the pinnacle of excellence. And let's talk about my pasta. You have an excellent Italian restaurant right next door. Honestly, go there and take some cooking AND service lessons. Your pasta? 0… 0 and another 0. I've always been grateful for what's on my plate, and that's precisely why I don't throw away or waste food… but your vegan pasta… No flavor, overcooked, watery, a bland tomato sauce, a ratatouille best forgotten, and seasoning as nonexistent as your friendliness! And the best for last. The salad, covered in dirt, sent back to the kitchen, which left the customer feeling unsatisfied… was still charged 😅 And offering a ham crepe to someone who doesn't eat pork… potentially excellent, I have no doubt, and thank you for kindly offering it, but you can understand why she unfortunately declined. If you didn't like our profile from the moment we walked in, you could have simply refused. We wouldn't have stayed, believe me. I mean it: you are the worst waitress I have ever seen in my life, in any restaurant and in any country. I sincerely pity your customers… and your colleagues. Edit: Given your response, which is only matched by your incompetence, your inability to admit your mistakes, and your undeniable bad faith, I will stop wasting any more time with you and recommend that anyone reading this comment choose a different establishment for a similar experience. Your inability to acknowledge even the slightest shortcoming speaks volumes about the regard you have for your customers. I leave you to your certainties.

16/05/2026: If I could give zero stars, I would. A disastrous experience from beginning to end, and above all, a level of unprofessionalism I've never seen in a restaurant before. We waited over 30 minutes before being served, without even a carafe of water during the wait. The dishes arrived haphazardly, with more than 10 minutes between some, which is unacceptable when you're eating with others. First problem: cold fries. Second problem: a vegan dish of pasta with no sauce, no seasoning—literally just plain pasta. But the worst part was the dish served with dirt in the salad. The customer immediately pointed it out to the waitress, who herself noticed the dirt before taking the plate back to the kitchen. Yet, later, in front of her boss, she denied having seen it. No apology, no professional reaction, no gesture of goodwill. The only justification given was: "The greengrocer didn't wash the salad properly." And according to them, we were at fault because the customer refused the replacement. That's completely absurd. When a dish is served dirty and no apology is offered, it's normal to lose confidence and not want to eat there again. The owner even went so far as to call us "difficult customers" because we had asked for a change to two dishes. Except he neglected to mention that one of the dishes on the menu—a salmon cream soup—was ultimately unavailable because they were out of salmon. Before blaming the customers, they should start by updating the menu. And to make things easier for them, we simply asked for prawns to replace the missing salmon. This problem was entirely the restaurant's fault, not ours. His only "defense" was to claim we were "the only customers" complaining about a poorly washed salad... as if we'd invented the presence of dirt in the dish just for kicks. Frankly, we have better things to do than make pointless complaints in a restaurant during our vacation. I mostly got the impression he was trying to make us look like cheapskates or dishonest customers, whereas at the Italian restaurant next door, just the day before, we left a €10 tip because the service was so pleasant. So the problem clearly doesn't lie with the customers. When it came time to pay, despite a dish that wasn't eaten because it was inedible, he absolutely refused to remove it from the bill. The owner preferred to tell us he had "bills to pay" rather than take responsibility. Another extremely inappropriate remark: when we asked if some of the meats were halal, the waitress replied dismissively, "Oh no, not just the kebab!" Between the contempt, the lack of respect, the complete absence of professionalism, and the attitude towards certain customers, it's legitimate to question this place given the number of positive reviews. As tourists, we clearly felt unwelcome. Avoid this place. MY RESPONSE TO YOUR REVIEW: I note that it's easier for you to ridicule your customers than to acknowledge your deplorable service and management. You were perfectly within your rights to refuse a 2 p.m. lunch reservation instead of accepting it and then making customers feel like they were bothering you. Calmly requesting another table or pointing out dirt in a salad is perfectly legitimate. The problem was never the customer, but rather your lack of friendliness and your sense of service. Telling others to "avoid" a customer simply because she didn't appreciate your behavior only proves what a poor businessperson you are. Seriously, change careers.

16/11/2025: It feels like home. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is excellent. Everything was perfect for a wonderful afternoon. Go without hesitation. Nelly, Ginette, André, Jean-Yves

28/10/2025: This restaurant has the advantage of being more affordable than those on the seafront. The owner is very kind and helpful. However, the food is rather bland: the burger is smothered in processed sauce, and the Caesar salad is swimming in dressing. You can also hear arguments coming from the kitchen…

29/06/2026: The pizzas aren't what they used to be ;( The goat cheese, honey, and pear pizza was all rough and the ingredients were poorly sourced. 16 euros for takeout. It was definitely better before. A huge disappointment.

28/06/2026: Friendly and helpful staff Good value for money Lovely outdoor terrace

16/06/2026: Terrible, the fish was extremely salty. The staff were incompetent and incredibly rude! I absolutely do not recommend it. Avoid at all costs! They don't clear the tables, are arrogant, and don't care about the customers. Facing the sea, the least they could do is serve decent fish!

15/06/2026: Excellent restaurant 😋 The service is very pleasant, I highly recommend it! 👍
