Having made our choice on the basis of the reviews here we were very disappointed by this restaurant. Monkfish and scallop brochette sounded divine, but the reality was practically inedible. The monkfish was shrivelled and tasteless and the scallop was only recognizable because of the coral. It was served with great panache, on a kind of contraption hanging over the... More

My wife and I and our son, daughter in law and 26 month old grand daughter had lunch here on 3/31 after touring the Normandy Beaches, American cemetery and Point du Hoc. Charming atmosphere and good food. Not overwhelming - my wife and DIL had the skate and my son and I the steak - he feeding his daughter the... More

Proximity to our hotel and the restaurant's atmosphere is very nice. Family of four and our meals varied. I had fresh sole which was filleted in front of me before it was served while my husband had a seafood casserole but it lacked in flavour. Our children ordered spaghetti and chicken which our impression was that it was re-heated (cold... More

Went for a midweek lunch with my wife - we had the scallop (coquilles saint Jacques) menu, and a pleasant glass of wine each. Very friendly service, interesting dishes - all scallop based of course - and two lovely desserts to finish. A very nice way to enjoy an hour or two - we'll be back! I apparently need to... More

I must admit that I never really cared for French cuisine...until I had dinner at this restaurant. Our dinners were simply wonderful. I'm now a convert to French food! The staff was helpful and attentive. Our visit was on our penultimate night in Normandy. As we finished our meal, we made reservations for our last night and that meal was... More

We visited this restaurant on a sunday around 2 pm. We were seated outside and given our menu's fairly quickly but then waited for over 10mins for our order to be taken. The food was lacking seasoning in all dishes. I ordered the duck for a main, and when it arrived it was overcooked to my request and I was... More

We visited this restaurant twice last week whilst staying at residence le green beach. Really good quality food both times with huge portions for those that ordered seafood. The steak was expertly cooked and for rump as more like fillet. On the dessert menu they offer a selection of 5 small desserts with a coffee, I recommend this enough, it... More

We have chosen the menu "de jour" and were more than happy with it. The starter was excellent, the fish very fresh and tasty, the dessert refreshing. The lunch was exactly what we expected: enough to sustain you for the rest of the day and good value for money. We were especially pleased with the friendly staff (although we speak... More

In short this restaurant was not terrible but not good either despite a local recommendation. The initial welcome into the restaurant was a little strange - somewhat cold and confused. We were just sort of left standing amongst the tables for a few minutes until seated. After that though the service was friendly and efficient. Unlike the other restaurants in... More
