Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Calvados

24/09/2026: UPDATE 08/2026: We had the pleasure of returning for dinner this August. My sister recommended the fish and chips she discovered in 2024, and she confirms it's the best she's ever had in a restaurant! As for me, I ordered the Papagayo burger again. What a treat! The recipes are unchanged, much to our delight! The welcome was as warm and pleasant as ever, with special attention to our dog and baby in a stroller, so we had a little corner to seat everyone. The portions were generous, the only downside being the slightly high price of the cocktails. But that's quickly forgotten once you've finished your drink; they certainly don't skimp on quantity or quality! We'll definitely be back next year, with pleasure! September 2024: A great meal, a very good atmosphere, and a sea view. Excellent value for money. Thank you for your hospitality :)

22/09/2026: A mojito that tasted less like water, then came the kidneys in wine sauce...a bowl full of sauce with six sad little kidneys floating in it, first and last time they ever see me

15/09/2026: The staff was terrible, and we received very poor service. The food was cold! We had to wait a very, very long time! To top it all off, we were charged an extra €12 for cheese, even though it was listed on the menu. We only noticed this when we got home! We would never eat there again. Other restaurants were much, much better.

15/09/2026: The appetizers were served before we'd finished our drinks, so they were cold. We had to ask for bread and water, and the main courses didn't match the menu. I do not recommend this restaurant.

02/09/2026: 10.73 USD for a pint of Guinness; assuming that is satire and beyond disrespectful; however I obviously begrudgingly paid? Each sip cost 2.50 USD…despite the establishment being listed in the worldwide directory of Amex restaurants… they don’t or no longer take american express. At least they don’t allow smoking inside.

15/08/2026: Good restaurant, very good value for money

19/05/2026: No bread at 10 am. What a shame.

19/09/2026: The boss sulks when you talk to him and can't control his employees; he's supposed to keep them on a tight leash, especially since the little one is particularly restless and difficult to manage (there have already been two reminders by email without any response). The contact email is no longer visible online but still exists. Instagram is easier for blocking when a DM reminding him of the rules appears. The square and the street are places to avoid. That's where they're all concentrated. It's so huge you think it can't possibly be that many in one place. 🤣 I would recommend Rue Saint Pierre and Rue Écuyère instead.

13/09/2026: I discovered this tapas bar by chance. Friendly staff. Great tapas.

20/05/2026: Fantastic place to stay and eat👍

13/05/2026: We stayed here during a long cycling tour (UK-France-Germany-Switzerland). Friendly staff, very nice room, and good breakfast. We didn't have dinner here, so I can't comment on that. The bike garage is a bit small if there are many cyclists staying overnight. However, the bikes can certainly be stored outside. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the famous Bénouville bridge and less than 10 km from Ouistreham.

30/05/2026: A family-run hotel just the way we like them. A friendly, human-scale atmosphere and a team that always smiles at you. The location is fantastic 👍

29/05/2026: Lunch on the terrace. The service and the meal were excellent. We had a very pleasant time. Thank you to the team.

04/09/2026: Very friendly owners, good traditional food, excellent value for money. I highly recommend it; we need to support these small neighborhood restaurants.

31/08/2026: Always excellent, homemade, and a good selection. The owners are kind and down-to-earth. Unbeatable prices.

05/07/2026: We had a lovely weekend at this very clean hotel, which is also well-equipped for guests with reduced mobility. As for the restaurant, it was excellent value for money... we thoroughly enjoyed everything from the appetizer to the dessert for my husband's birthday. The welcome was warm and the staff attentive. Thank you again! A very good place to stay.

21/06/2026: A wonderful stay with a friend during the third week of June. A delightful discovery, starting with a fantastic lunch on Friday that gave us a taste of what to expect during our stay. And we certainly weren't disappointed. We received a warm welcome from the two people who run the establishment. The meals were very generous, with homemade desserts that we thoroughly enjoyed. We even received some unexpected little touches that we appreciated. We highly recommend this establishment and will definitely return on our next trip to Normandy. Laurence and Murielle

12/09/2026: Smiling is optional... too bad.

05/08/2026: Very good, it's delicious and the service is quick and efficient. 👏

01/10/2026: Great lunch, friendly and pleasant staff, I recommend it

21/08/2026: Passing through Vire, the pizzas were very good. The owners were welcoming and friendly, and there was space to park a motorcycle. I recommend it.

17/08/2026: Everything is perfect, traditional cuisine. Top-notch, the quantities are just right.

16/07/2026: Highly recommended! We stumbled upon this restaurant quite by chance and received a very warm welcome. Since the opening hours weren't available online, we tried our luck just before 7 pm. Naturally, we were the first customers, as it seems they only open around 7 pm after the lunch rush. For tourists with limited French skills, or if their school French is a few decades in the past, English is thankfully available 😉 There was also something suitable for children on the menu. The dishes were delicious; kudos to the chef! The price was reasonable, and it seems to be a very popular restaurant with locals as well. We'll gladly return if we're ever in Normandy again.

27/09/2026: A must-try in Franceville 😍 Delicious traditional cuisine and a family atmosphere! We had a wonderful time 😥 Thank you

26/09/2026: A bit noisy, lacking in flavor, service was okay

12/09/2026: Excellent place. Very good and generous portions. Very friendly staff.

07/09/2026: Great restaurant. We received a warm welcome, excellent service, and above all, delicious food. Thank you very much, and see you soon!

11/05/2026: We stayed here for 3 days in early May and slept in room 38. This is a spacious room with a balcony, fridge, and twin beds. From the balcony, you have a beautiful view of the sea. The breakfast is fine by French standards. Eggs, scrambled eggs, cold cuts, and cheese, but also sweet treats. Tea, coffee, and juices are available as desired. We were welcomed at the hotel by Shana. A great host who escorted us to the room and showed us other rooms for comparison. Shana asked us about our plans for the coming days and was eager to help make this expedition complete for us. He had printed out the sights for us several times and advised us on where to go. Down to the smallest details regarding parking tips, as well as price and distances. Additionally, Shana speaks perfect English, which was also very nice for us. We did not eat at the hotel in the evenings, mainly because there is plenty of choice in the surrounding towns. However, the hotel restaurant has a beautiful location with a view of the sea and an open terrace with an adjacent grassy meadow.

06/05/2026: The hotel has a beautiful view, but the room doesn't really have anything: no kettle, no tea, not even cotton swabs. They charge extra for an iron. I wouldn't recommend it. The view gets one star.
