Les meilleurs restaurants en Caen

11/05/2026: I wasn't expecting this kind of experience in a hotel. Upon arrival, it quickly became clear what was going on: a family of foreigners apparently staying there, laundry drying on the windowsills, and the parking lot serving as a test track and car garage. Inside, there was a very unpleasant smell: shoes outside the room doors, weights and hair in the shower and on the bed... The bathroom was old and dirty. It was a mess all night long: doors slamming, children playing in the hallways until 11 pm, people coming and going all night. We couldn't wait to leave.

11/05/2026: Rooms are super small, there is no space for suitcases, no hook for your coats. Breakfast is very limited. There is no elevator.

21/03/2026: No more hot drinks after 5 PM!!! I ordered a beer, my wife wanted a hot drink, refused!!! You'll have to come back downstairs, young man. Last time I'm coming here

21/03/2026: I left immediately without ordering anything. The toilets were in an absolutely disgusting state. In a restaurant, this is unacceptable and it doesn't inspire any confidence in the hygiene of the rest of the establishment.

29/10/2026: **The Radar: Anything but a Sense of Business!** When you walk into this family-run tobacco shop, you sometimes get the feeling you're intruding on the owners' privacy, in their own living room. The wife seems perpetually in a bad mood, with a frosty welcome and a sour look that immediately makes you want to turn right around and leave. As for the husband, his customer service leaves much to be desired. I'll tell you about a situation that perfectly sums up my experience. One day, I bought over €45 worth of products: tobacco, scratch cards, lottery tickets, etc. I then went outside and sat on a bench nearby with a friend to have a beer. Needing to use the restroom, I went back into the shop and politely asked the husband if I could use it. His response, in front of the other customers, was essentially: "You drink your beer on the bench and then you come here to pee? You have to buy something!" I then reminded him that I had just spent over €45 at his shop. But no, that didn't matter: I absolutely had to drink my beer there! All for a €3.50 beer, when for that price, I could buy five small beers in a shop. And to top it all off, he found a way to make this remark publicly, in a particularly awkward situation. **This is a perfect illustration of what some call business, but which is more like a toll for the right to a minimum of consideration.** You can certainly set rules for access to the restrooms, but there's a way to speak to people. Respect, diplomacy, and a welcoming attitude are clearly not this establishment's strong points. And then we wonder why some businesses change hands! Owning a tobacco shop isn't just about taking money behind a counter. You also have to know how to welcome customers, communicate, and build customer loyalty. Business acumen isn't just about selling cigarettes, lottery tickets, and scratch cards. Of course, I'm not lumping everyone together: there are some absolutely wonderful French shopkeepers. But I too often observe a complete lack of interpersonal skills in some of them. A local shop should be a place where you feel welcome, not a place where you feel like you're bothering them every time you ask a question. **For me, Le Radar is finished.** Customers deserve better than sighs, disdain, and being lectured in front of everyone. A smile is free, but clearly, here, it seems to come at a price.

22/09/2026: A very nice bar, with tobacco and newspapers.

22/06/2026: Unfriendly owner, poor quality food, avoid at all costs. The worst bar in Caen.

22/06/2026: The owner is anything but pleasant, rude and violent; he serves drunk customers
