24/09/2026: Pleasant welcome. The quality of the food was decent.

06/12/2025: A fantastic find! This place truly deserves to be talked about. In Saint-Arnoult, at the Bistrot du Grand Manège – the restaurant at the Pôle du Cheval (Equestrian Center) – everything is homemade, the food is generous and delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is impeccable. The owner took over the establishment in January, and you can feel his passion in every detail. Excellent value for money. A real gem.

24/11/2025: When things aren't going well, you should speak up, but when things are going well, you should speak up too. A fantastic restaurant with excellent value for money. You can confidently book a table in this place with its wonderful setting.

22/09/2026: Fantastic! We came for lunch on Sunday with our (large) group. We were welcomed and served like royalty. The food was delicious and the place was very warm and inviting, reflecting the excellent service. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

25/09/2026: A soggy, leftover salmon waffle from the day before, topped with three measly, practically nonexistent pieces of fish on a lukewarm plate, for a completely outrageous price.

23/09/2026: Beautiful little café with a fantastic courtyard, away from the tourist crowds.

19/09/2026: Thank you to Julien for his kindness and excellent service. I recommend him.

19/09/2026: Carine was great. The food was very good. Great atmosphere. I recommend it!

24/09/2026: Lemon and honey crepe, waffle with homemade chocolate sauce, a scoop of Viennese chocolate coffee ice cream, and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Everything was delicious, and the waffle was fluffy.

18/09/2026: What an introduction… We arrived on the terrace as a group of eight, including an 18-month-old baby. The waiter came to take our order and then called out to my brother: “Oh, you’re not a foreigner? Because earlier you didn’t respond when we said hello to you while we were inside.” My brother immediately apologized, very sincerely, explaining that he really hadn’t heard everything. Apparently, that wasn’t enough: what followed was a five-minute lecture about a missed greeting, the waiter being absolutely certain of what my brother had or hadn’t heard. We had come for a drink as a family, not to be given a lecture on basic etiquette. After several apologies and explanations to tell him that this really isn’t our style and, on the contrary, that we are quite friendly, the waiter persisted with his particularly hurtful, even humiliating, reproaches. We finally expressed our desire to leave, given the atmosphere, to which the waiter replied, "Well, very well, that's fine!" As we left, we noticed again how empty the terrace was compared to the packed Chat Bleu next door. We quickly understood why. I really don't recommend this bistro where friendliness rings hollow with bitterness.

07/07/2026: Team meal, attentive and efficient staff. Very varied and very good cuisine.

04/07/2026: The menus are still as good and sophisticated as ever, a must-visit!

02/09/2026: Nice place on the square. This is tabac shop, a bar and a coffee place in one. Nice staff and good coffee.

10/08/2026: Thank you to the whole team. I was an exhibitor at the medieval fair for three days, right next to the café, and all the staff were friendly, smiling, and helpful. The establishment was very clean, even during peak hours.

22/09/2026: An unforgettable evening in the company of Segolene and Jeremaiah. My friends Iva and Baptiste introduced me to this place where the atmosphere and the taste buds tingle with pleasure. It's an unmissable experience, masterfully orchestrated by Segolene on stage and Jeremaiah in the kitchen.

07/09/2026: Wow, what a lovely place! Small, cozy, and well-kept, with a waitress who goes above and beyond, always smiling. There's even a chef who comes to your table. You feel welcomed and expected. The food and drinks are excellent and reasonably priced. Thank you to them!

26/05/2026: First stay, but certainly not the last. A very pleasant discovery regarding the room and the restaurant.

24/05/2026: We had a wonderful culinary experience! After three and a half hours stuck in traffic between Deauville and Honfleur, frustrated by the lack of parking, we decided to turn around and stop at the Auberge de la Tour. It was the best decision of our chaotic day! Pure bliss: a warm welcome, very helpful and friendly staff, and a divine meal! The chef even came to greet us at the end of our meal. Thank you for welcoming us at such a late hour and for delighting our taste buds! We will definitely be back.

04/09/2026: Very tasty galettes and crepes, friendly service, uncomplicated.

03/09/2026: Excellent galettes made with regional products such as Vire andouille sausage and Camembert cheese! A real treat! And the prices are competitive. The welcome is warm and friendly. I highly recommend it and will definitely return on my next trip to the area.

28/09/2026: Unfortunately, a huge disappointment – ​​not comparable to our stay last year. We stayed at L’Ex-Voto last year and had a very positive experience. That's precisely why we chose this accommodation again this year. Unfortunately, this year's experience was completely different. Despite the stated check-in time, no one was there when we arrived. After checking in and paying, we received the key and were then able to inspect the room ourselves. The condition of the room was unacceptable: The bed was badly creased and didn't look like it had been freshly made. There was still water in the kettle, and a used towel and bed linens were lying in a corner. The wardrobe was crammed full of crumpled linens and other textiles, rendering it unusable. Parts of the curtains were loose, and the flower boxes in front of the windows contained only withered plant remains. The condition of the bathroom was particularly problematic. There was clearly visible black mold on the shower, and the shower hose was also heavily infested with mold. We documented the condition of the property with photographs. Based on this, we decided not to stay there and to find another hotel in Honfleur at short notice. It's a shame, because our stay last year was completely different and precisely the reason we returned. An older, typically French house is absolutely no problem for us – old and charming is quite different from neglected and questionable in terms of hygiene. Therefore, after our experience this year, we unfortunately cannot recommend this accommodation.

23/09/2026: A spontaneous lunch and a fantastic experience! Affordable menu, very high quality, and a very attentive owner. I'll definitely be back!

14/09/2026: An excellent restaurant, the food is 100% homemade and delicious, the meats are perfectly cooked – a real treat! And the service is great.

14/09/2026: Excellent value for money for the set menus. However, be aware of the noise when loading the dishwasher near the tables… far too noisy, no precautions taken!
