Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Calvados

11/03/2026: Good for a quick lunch break, with galettes and crepes for all tastes. Friendly staff

26/01/2026: Excellent brasserie! Quality food, fast service, and always with a smile. The staff is lovely, and the owners are simply exceptional. More than reasonable prices for such a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!

14/07/2026: The appetizer platter was nice, but the rest was really not great. The beef tartare was overly vinegary and inedible, and the fries weren't anything special. The other people I was with (there were six of us) ordered pizzas: one was a soggy burger pizza with meat that also had a strong vinegar taste, another, the "Viroise," was very sparsely topped, and yet another ordered a small burrata pizza, which was charged at the same price as the large one because, as the waitress explained, "burrata is expensive." We know this restaurant well, but the quality has clearly declined, while the prices have remained high. It's no longer good value for money. Fortunately, the desserts weren't bad. I'm not one to complain, but we all left with heavy stomachs and indigestion...

26/06/2026: Varied menu (🦪, daily specials, galettes, 🥗, pizzas, 🥞...), reasonable prices, good quality products, attentive and quick service (perhaps because there's a party tonight and tomorrow, Saturday. This is in response to the negative comments regarding the service).

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.

27/06/2026: Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed even though the website indicated it was open. There was no sign or information on the building. However, a menu was displayed in the window.

18/07/2026: It's always a pleasure to visit Céline's. The food is excellent. The service is impeccable. Note the jazz evenings a few times a year where you can dine while enjoying live music.

18/03/2026: Good. Not too expensive. Some entertainment sometimes in the evening... dinner concerts, exhibitions...

20/05/2026: Best pizza I've ever eaten in my life

19/05/2026: Having moved across the street, I was recommended this pizzeria. And honestly, the pizzas are excellent. The prices are more than reasonable. The owners are so friendly! I highly recommend it. My favorite is the Normande, and I recommend it 100%.

14/07/2026: Great. The mussels with Camembert are excellent.

11/07/2026: A warm welcome and a pleasant atmosphere at any time of day. Perfect for enjoying an aperitif with the beach and sea right in front of you. The food is simple, but everything is delicious. A friendly place where you're always guaranteed a good time!

28/07/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible dining experience! From the moment we sat down, we were welcomed with complimentary olives, fresh bread, and water, a lovely touch that set the tone for the meal. I had the incredible 3-course menu for just 28€, which was exceptional value. I started with the smoked salmon, followed by perfectly cooked fish and chips served with a fresh salad, and finished with a delicious pistachio crème brûlée. I also enjoyed some lovely white wine (Chardonnay), which paired beautifully with the meal. My daughter chose the steak with fries for just 21€, and it was cooked perfectly. The steak sauce was absolutely amazing, rich, flavourful, and one of the best we’ve ever tasted! The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and every course exceeded our expectations. Combined with the excellent service and fantastic prices, this was one of the best value meals we’ve had. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for outstanding food, generous hospitality, and amazing value for money!

21/07/2026: Perfect! Very friendly servers, generous and delicious portions. I highly recommend it ;)

11/07/2026: Super friendly service. Very pleasant welcome. Generous and delicious dishes: duck confit, tripe, lamb chops. A great time.

29/06/2026: Excellent value for money at Buquet's, near the iconic Vaugueux district. Homemade cuisine using ultra-fresh ingredients. Generous portions, beautifully presented, both simple (the surf and turf salad is wonderful!) and always with a thoughtful personal touch. The 2 or 3 course set menu is unbeatable. It's always delicious! And the service is excellent too! It's simple: once you're in Caen, you won't want to go anywhere else!

27/03/2026: We had a very good meal (kidneys and mashed potatoes, and blanquette with rice), it was delicious. The starters were decent and the desserts were good and varied. The welcome was excellent, the owner very kind. All this for a very reasonable price. A place to remember!

08/03/2026: A good, classic lunch option for when you don't have much free time. Friendly atmosphere.

21/07/2026: Group meal, everyone wasn't served at the same time (great!). For our aperitif, we were served two non-alcoholic mojitos and one non-alcoholic cocktail, but they served us alcohol. We told them, and they let us keep our glasses. No gesture of goodwill either (having been invited, we didn't dare make a scene). The meat cost €27; we asked for it well-done, and it arrived rare—well, they had cooked it again. The service was incredibly slow. We were on the terrace, and the end of the meal was in the dark. I had to shine a light on my phone so my husband could eat his dessert. And lastly, the tiramisu—how can I put it? Ladyfingers and whipped cream. Do they need a little cooking lesson? Disappointed.

08/07/2026: Superb restaurant, a Caen institution. Highly recommended! It's well worth the trip!

30/06/2026: Great restaurant! I highly recommend it. Generous portions, fast service. Special mention for the mussels with Roquefort cheese, which were very much appreciated by our group, even though it wasn't the season.

29/06/2026: I came to eat at your place and have nothing to say, it was very good, the service was excellent, thank you to the waiter for his welcome.

10/06/2026: The food and service were absolutely top-notch.

03/06/2026: Often open and very convenient for smoking, it remains a place to frequent on holidays and Sundays. Thank you for your availability. Still the same.

21/07/2026: The thing is staring blankly at the scenery, looking depressed. Be careful, it sulks when an adult speaks to it. Don't forget to keep the other one on a leash. It doesn't look very professional if it starts attacking people. I sincerely hope we haven't decided to rule the roost in Caen. I see that emails have been permanently closed, and Instagram accounts blocked. These people who can actually write are a pain. 😌

03/01/2026: If you do your children the honor of buying them "Potato Pops," they'll have the pleasure of reading "CUM" on the packaging. Those with even a basic understanding of English will know why this is problematic… Anyway, the place is perfect for a family setting… let's not even mention the drunks in the corner of the bar who talk very loudly and even seem to disturb the staff with their highly inappropriate remarks; I feel sorry for them.

28/05/2026: The terrace under the trees is the only positive point of this mediocre ice cream parlor. It's impossible to choose a cup size and then select multiple flavors. It's a system based on individual scoops of ice cream, a far cry from the trendy Italian style. It feels like stepping back into the 80s... The quality of the ice cream is poor and the selection quite limited. I won't be going back.

06/04/2026: This is my second visit to the shop today, and I particularly appreciated the warm welcome from the two waitresses! I highly recommend trying the ice cream or enjoying a good coffee in a beautiful setting, or BOTH 🥰
