Les meilleurs restaurants en Calvados

13/09/2026: A very bad experience. The sandwiches served were frankly unappetizing, both in presentation and execution. The bread was mass-produced, the assembly was crude, the filling overflowed, and the presentation included pieces of fruit and olives held together with toothpicks… For a professional establishment, one would expect something much better. The most worrying aspect, however, was the hygiene: the salad bowls from the previous day hadn't been emptied and therefore clearly hadn't been cleaned before service. When it comes to food products handled daily, this is frankly alarming. And unfortunately, the service was just as bad: as welcoming as a prison guard. No smiles, no warmth; you clearly get the impression you're bothering them.

07/09/2026: A cockroach was found in the hot chocolate. Unacceptable.

23/12/2025: If I could give zero stars, this would be it. A restaurant I've frequented for a long time, and which until now has been impeccable… but my last experience was extremely disappointing! I had booked a meal for 20 people for an event two months in advance with the waiter. (Invitations ordered and sent) The owner met with me to discuss the reservation… not a very warm welcome… a very arrogant person… however, I went ahead with it… Two weeks ago, like many others, I learned that the restaurant was closing its doors but continuing to offer service for professional and private events. (My event wasn't affected per se.) However, I sent an email asking if my reservation was still valid and if the conditions remained the same… no response… I went to the restaurant, the waiter passed the message on to the owner, who asked me… I'm still waiting for a call back… So I booked my event elsewhere! The day before yesterday, a caterer called me back saying they were taking over the reservations… I had the pleasure of telling him I wasn't going to proceed and wished him the best of luck working with an establishment like that! An arrogant boss who manages his reservations terribly, doesn't bother to call his clients back, and I think he doesn't care about losing a table of 20 people… he probably doesn't care about that… In any case, he's off to a great start with his new venture! Avoid at all costs, because they've lost a lot of customers! No wonder the employees are coming and going like they do every day of the week…

14/11/2025: Jeremy is very pleasant to serve us and very nice. The food is amazing, we come from Indonesia and having this local food fantastic: Cod Fish (, Beef Soup and Chicken with local material so good. We recommended to all of you, the local food hunter 😍 Lisieux so amazing and the restaurant must try

28/09/2026: Thank you for this excellent all-you-can-eat restaurant! For me, it's one of the best in Caen. The sushi is incredibly high quality, with a huge selection, as are the other dishes on offer. Everything is truly delicious and top-notch! The staff is also very friendly, kind, and welcoming. We had a wonderful time. Thank you to the whole team, and see you very soon! 😊🍣

23/09/2026: Worth checking out. 👍 When you look, you find. 🤪

27/09/2026: A horror 🤢🤢🤮🤮 Quality and friendliness 0!!!! I recommend the Dragon of Beaulieu

21/09/2026: It had been a long time since we'd been back. We were rather disappointed. The food has changed drastically, and for the worse. It's dry, tastes old, and seems to have been reheated several times...it's a shame; it was much more appetizing under the previous owners. The welcome was pleasant, the place was clean, and the glass partitions protecting the buffet dishes were a good idea.

11/10/2025: Perfect! Warm and friendly welcome, good food. I suggest the Normand Royal as an aperitif.

16/09/2025: Excellent service. Very good value for money. I recommend it.

27/09/2026: The waiter was lovely! I'll start with that because it's the reason I'm giving the restaurant 2 stars overall. Clearly, they're using low-quality ingredients; you can taste the cheap cream, which is a real shame. The sauce for the mussels and the galette pasta was really not great. However, I'm giving the homemade fries an extra star for that.

13/09/2026: The food was very good; we really enjoyed our meal. Unfortunately, the experience was spoiled by unpleasant service and a rather cold welcome. It's a shame, because with warmer service, the experience would have been perfect.

30/09/2026: Pretty empty, asked to eat dessert as we'd had mains elsewhere. Directed to a table near the bar that hadn't been laid, and was in a muggy corner near a barman vigorously bleaching bar equipment. I asked if we could sit on one of the ample vacant tables in the covered area outside, and were told we couldn't as we weren't eating mains. Bit of an attitude from the owner behind the bar. Promptly left.

22/09/2026: Excellent tasting menu, from appetizer to dessert, and very friendly service, I highly recommend it.

06/05/2026: We booked this hotel from Sunday to Tuesday, but we fled after the first night because the conditions were so appalling. From the moment we arrived, a smell of damp and stale carpet literally hit us like a ton of bricks, not to mention the smelly sheets. Cleanliness was clearly nonexistent: visible dust, carpets that obviously hadn't been vacuumed in ages… We seriously wondered if the room was cleaned between guests. We had booked a room with a large terrace, but there was another unpleasant surprise: the glass door didn't even lock, the lock was broken. So anyone could get in, especially since the terrace was connected to others. In terms of security, it was simply unacceptable. As for the bathroom, it was probably the worst: a deplorable state for a hotel that dares to advertise itself as a 3-star hotel. The towel warmer was covered in streaks, the shower glass was coated in limescale, the grout was black, the mirror was dirty… and to top it all off, there was a dead spider on the wall as soon as we arrived. A live spider, maybe, in the countryside, but a dead one? It just proves that the hotel hadn't been cleaned. When we tried to mention it to reception, the response was astounding: the receptionist calmly explained that the hotel is old and has been undergoing renovations for 3-4 years, and that some guests don't complain. Good for them, but that in no way justifies such a lack of hygiene and professionalism. Finally, the manager is simply unreachable: no response to our messages, neither through Booking.com nor by email directly to the hotel. Customer service is nonexistent. In short, a disastrous experience, unworthy of a 3-star rating, which we absolutely do not recommend.

04/05/2026: “A trip back in time… unfortunately not the right time” ⭐☆☆☆☆ First off, kudos to the photos on Booking.com, because frankly, passing this dump off as a charming hotel is quite an achievement. The reality is far less flattering. We arrived and the first thing that hit us was the smell of damp. Not a subtle odor, no. A full-blown, unmistakable scent of a flooded cellar that permeated everything: hallways, room, linens. Speaking of linens, the sheets… how to put it… clearly recycled from a previous stay. The dust on the furniture was so thick that we felt like we were disturbing something. Breakfast was just like the rest: lukewarm coffee, stale baguette, and jam of unknown age. The owner, for his part, didn't see fit to lift a finger when we voiced our concerns. A shrug and that was that. On the security front, the lock barely held, the window didn't close properly… we slept with our wallets under our pillows. The pool was freezing cold; it was impossible to stay in it for more than 30 seconds. The only redeeming feature was the pleasant setting, but the lawn hadn't been mowed in ages, so even that was a bit of a mess. A quick call to a gardener wouldn't have cost much. In short, avoid it.

18/09/2026: No smiles, closes at 8pm but kicks half the customers out at 7:30pm. Prices are way too high for 2 beers, 15 euros, the coast is way overpriced.

16/09/2026: The boss is great and the waitress is great too, I love this PMU bar

22/08/2026: Avoid at all costs. This place unfortunately gives the impression of having forgotten the most important thing: the customer. High prices, a frosty welcome, a deafening "boom-boom" atmosphere when all you want to do is enjoy a glass of wine and some tapas, and frankly, the value for money is outrageous. The atmosphere is so peculiar that you almost wonder if you've stumbled into a bar in Honfleur or a discount version of The Addams Family. A very bad image for a town like Honfleur. Tourists and locals alike: steer clear.

18/08/2026: We were very disappointed with our visit this evening. We ordered two cocktails, which were disappointing, and a sharing platter, which was expensive for what it was. The person who served us seemed completely unfamiliar with the wine list and lost with the till. And to top it all off, she spilled sauce on my shorts. Okay, maybe she didn't see it on me, but she still picked it up off the floor, so she was aware of the incident. It happens, but still! When we went to the till, we mentioned it to her, and for €55 for two people (two drinks and a mediocre platter), she had the nerve to charge us full price for everything, acting as if nothing had happened. I don't usually leave reviews, but this...

27/09/2026: American sandwich + drink combo. Good and fast service. Very pleasant waitress, her colleague (owner?) ignored us. Nice decor.

03/09/2026: We ordered 3 ham and cheese paninis, but what we got were frozen baguettes and not paninis at all. I do not recommend them at all, extremely disappointed.

15/03/2026: Boulangerie de la Chêne, Paul, food, bakery-style food Perfect for takeout It's not high quality, but it fills you up Some products are a bit overpriced though

14/03/2026: Tiphaine, Mélanie Brune, and Sandrine are the best! Thank you!!

09/08/2026: Slow service, 30 minutes to be served. We received our drinks and ice cream in 20 minutes, but the ice cream had time to melt, and then after another 30 minutes we finally got the rest. Apparently, it's fast food.

07/08/2026: Thank you so much to Julien for this excellent service, he was so kind and friendly!!

03/10/2026: The staff does what they can, but one waiter was a bit pushy and unfriendly, they forgot the sauces despite several requests, the service was slow even though there weren't many customers, the butcher's cut was cut in half and therefore small, the frozen fries were even worse than McDonald's, and the amount of water with syrup was ridiculously small. I don't recommend it, which is a shame because the view is lovely.

28/09/2026: Parfait! Great place to sit and watch people go by on the quay. Lovely food and friendly service which didn't feel rushed even though they were busy. Très bon!

07/09/2026: Very pleasant staff. We love the soft, cuddly bread! Thank you!

05/09/2026: I got food poisoning after eating the triple chocolate cookie. I do not recommend it!!
