Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Calvados

07/08/2026: Grumpy waiter who immediately made comments because our 4-year-old daughter had finished her sandwiches outside the restaurant (not even inside) instead of welcoming our group of 8 people in total. The other three children wanted to order a crepe, but because it was a “dessert,” that wasn't allowed. The food was otherwise fine, but the atmosphere inside was completely lacking.

06/08/2026: AVOID AT ALL COSTS! We unfortunately only looked at the reviews after going into the restaurant—what a mistake! The service was truly awful; the staff were unfriendly and showed no consideration for our satisfaction throughout the entire meal. The quality of the dishes we ordered was completely lacking.

27/12/2025: Very disappointed. The waiter was barely friendly, and the service was poor: he didn't offer water or any other drinks. After our savory crepes, he didn't even offer a dessert menu or coffee! We paid and left. I definitely don't recommend this place.

19/11/2025: I had a quick bite of a ham/egg/cheese galette, which perfectly met my expectations; the service was fast and pleasant.

17/05/2026: New owners, and the difference is immediately apparent! As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, clean, and bright space. The menu offers something for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, with a special mention for the French toast 😋 A must-try soon!

14/05/2026: Very disappointed considering the price of the room. In poor condition. The shutters were held together with wire so we didn't dare close them, the bed was uncomfortable, the carpet was worn, the shower had no place to put the shower head and a plastic curtain, no place to put the soap... there were stains on the floor, the paint and wallpaper need replacing, the decor was outdated with plastic flowers and a shabby wardrobe... I do not recommend it.

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!!

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

30/07/2026: The andouillette is good, the rest... 🤷

29/07/2026: A canteen... with the food to match... Dirty toilets, some out of order.

09/08/2026: Excellent value for money. Very friendly and unpretentious service. Everything is done with a smile. Impeccable quality of food. And the view of the port is an added bonus. Well done to the team, and we don't understand the negative reviews.

06/08/2026: For a busy August, we had good service. The oysters were delicious, as were all the other dishes. We opted for the €32 package, which includes an entree, a main course, and a dessert. Everything was good. A great experience. The young waitress was really good and kind.

24/05/2026: Quick service, good price, the waiter was lovely, but the owner was extremely cold. Regarding hygiene, I have mixed feelings; I found a hair in my daughter's crepe, and upon closer inspection, it's true that the cook wasn't wearing any protective gear...

24/05/2026: We had a great meal and received a warm welcome. Special mention to the waiter who was very kind, pleasant, and smiling.

03/08/2026: The waiter was pleasant, but unfortunately, that wasn't enough to convince us about our lunch today. The chicken burger cost €17 and had three nuggets inside and undercooked fries. The same went for my regular burger. The €19 set menu was passable: whelk in a bland broth, dry veal cutlet, and a chocolate crepe with an acidic taste. For the price, we would have been cheaper at McDonald's with equivalent quality. It's a real shame because we used to love this restaurant.

02/08/2026: Thank you so much!!! Friendly welcome and the food was great!!!

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.

03/08/2026: We went to the bar to get two Cokes. They charged us as if we'd been served on the terrace. 3.90 for a Coke is outrageous.

02/08/2026: Well, 3 cans of Coke for €10.80 in a foreign can. Fantastic! And the cash goes into the box next to the till. Enjoy!

25/07/2026: We love coming to relax at your little café, where we've had a drink in the evening. We also had lunch there, and it was very good—simple and delicious food. The staff is super friendly! 👍 A big thank you to you!

24/07/2026: Such a lovely little brasserie. Perfect for lunch. I had a delicious barrata salad with Palma ham and frites. Which was 12.50 euros, and a 0% Leffe. Highly recommend.

28/07/2026: It's a shame the new owners are charging prices as if we were in Paris, and on top of that, they have a stranglehold on most of the bakeries in town. What does that say about fair competition? We're disappointed because we're basically just buying "samples"—are these prices meant for tourists? It's becoming difficult to treat yourself in Bayeux. On the plus side, the saleswomen are fantastic and always so kind.

25/07/2026: Leaving the shop, one can't help but reminisce, with a touch of nostalgia, about the days when Madame Lemoisson brought such cheerfulness and warmth to this place. Times have certainly changed, as they say...

13/06/2026: You need to have plenty of time to eat here. The service is disastrous. It was normally busy for a Saturday lunchtime, and we arrived late, so there was less of a rush. We were given menus in English, which was surprising but not too much of a problem for us. Taking our order took a very long time, and that was nothing compared to what followed. We received our starters before our drinks, which we had to ask for. The main courses also took a very long time to arrive; we're still waiting for a portion of fries that was forgotten and a carafe of water that never arrived (despite having asked for it). My mussels were okay, but my partner's dish was far too salty. To top it all off, they don't accept restaurant vouchers. We won't be back.

06/06/2026: If you don't know about it, you wouldn't be quick to go inside, but the food is delicious and fresh! It's a bit alternative in terms of atmosphere, but delicious in terms of food.

15/03/2026: Let's just say it's fine for a temporary fix.
