    Both deserts from the menu of the moment
    Mike M.

    Delicious! We had the tuna tartare and the charcuterie plate fondue style with melted Camembert. Loved it so much that we went back the next day and each got the Menu de Moment, and between the two of us got all the options. Delicious! Their wine was the best we had in town. They are a busy restaurant and their servers work very hard, but there are a lot of mouths to feed. Remember to note the number on the rock at your table. That number is... wait for it... your table number. When you're done eating, go up to the cashier to pay.

    Scallops-such color and fantastic taste!

    First off, I haven't had a bad meal in France...ever! This country knows how to season food to perfection, plate it beautifully, and portion it just right. There's always room for dessert. Well, most the time. Anyways, in Bayeux there's this darling restaurant we've eaten at twice when visiting. There's dining space on the main floor as well as upstairs. During our last visit, I ordered the scallops dish and it was gorgeous. You almost don't want to eat the food because it's artwork. But then you're hungry and you know it's gonna be good so you dive in without remorse. Well that's exactly what I did. Such a delicious dish. When in Bayeux, eat here! Looking forward to my return to this wonderful city and enjoying another sit down meal at L'Assiette Normande.

    Our group went here for lunch our last day in Bayeux. The good first. The food was good. It was not the best meal we had in Bayeux, but good. I had the fish special. My wife had a salad with diced sausage on it. Others ordered the onion soup. The soup was different in that it comes with the bread and cheese that's normally baked on top of the soup, on the side and you construct it yourself. It was different, and all agreed they would not order it again. Now the bad. The service was horrible. Our server was a older woman. It was lunch time and when we got to the restaurant it did not appear to be very busy. We were seated in a side room that had approximately six or seven tables. We were the only ones in this room when we arrived. No one in our party spoke French. When we asked our hostess if she spoke English she abruptly replied "No English!" We placed our orders as best we could. Google translate was a lot of help in that regard. After our order was placed other people were being seated in the room with us. All of them were French. One was a single person, another was a party of two and a larger party of nine were also seated. All of their orders were placed after we had been seated and after our orders had been taken. Most in our party had ordered from the fixed price menu. Our starters came. And then we waited and waited and waited. Meanwhile all of the other patrons who were seated and ordered after us received their starters, their main course and their desserts. This included the party of nine people. I am by nature a very patient person. I inquired to our hostess about the delay in our dishes and tried to communicate that we needed to catch our train. This obviously did not make her happy and she snapped at us in French about how busy they were and that we needed to be patient. This exchange upset most in our group. My wife did not even want to eat her main course once it came. She just wanted to leave the restaurant. Eventually our main courses arrived. We hastily ate what we could. We asked for the check and did not want to wait for the dessert course, which was included in the price. Our hostess definitely gave off the air of disliking Americans very much. The irony was not lost on us, in that we were in Bayeux for the 75th anniversary of the D day invasion celebrations. It was an unfortunate way to spend our last few hours in Bayeux. Fortunately there were plenty of other establishments that could not have been more lovely to eat at.

    Food was ok. Ambience was pleasant. But service was poor. We waited a very long time for our food, and the server was completely unhelpful.

    The 3.5 star average rating is accurate. Decent prix fix should work for most visitors, but nothing special. Very close to the Cathedral.

    We originally booked a table at a restaurant nearby but found it overrun with a tour group. Another…read morewas fully booked. We saw a sign for this place off the main drag and looked about. There were a few recognizable recommendations including Michelin so we popped in and were surprised that we were cheerfully seated, though we had no reservation. After ordering a nice bottle of wine, we ordered from the prefix menus. Prior to being served our starters, we were given a sampling of arancini. It looked similar to what we have had in Italy only here instead of Mazzarella cheese it was made with a local cheese. And boy was it really good! The fish soup was very tasty and the turbot entree was among the best fish dishes I've ever had. The fish was served over leeks in a white lightly creamy sauce with a delicious cheese flavor. The cod entree was also quite good. Our deserts, the apple tart with ice cream and the cheese board were well worth the calories. The local cheeses were amazing and even the crackers were special with lots of grains and flavor. The one issue I frequently have doing yelp reviews is that you are limited to whole stars. In this particular instance, given the excellent food, friendly and prompt service in the nicely restored old structure that made for a comfortable dining experience, I would give five stars. However, one of the soups and one of the entrées had to be sent back because they arrived lukewarm. Thus, I would offer up 4 1/2 stars. Given my dilemma, and the fact that the dishes temperature were easy to rectify, five stars it is.

After a full day touring the D-Day sites, we were ready for a memorable dinner. The location was easy to find and the exterior was inviting. Staff were attentive, fluent in English, and great at walking us through the menu. On that note, so was every other guest in the restaurant. Literally every table appeared to be American, including a fairly boisterous group seated right next to us. It was a jarring contrast to the quieter, more intimate French restaurants we'd visited earlier in the trip. The food was a mixed bag. The turbot fillet was outstanding, easily among the best fish I've ever had, and the mango and passion fruit rice pudding was a wonderful finish. The rest of the meal, though, didn't leave much of an impression for the price. Speaking of price, come prepared for a steep bill. And if the Michelin star draws you in hoping for an authentic French atmosphere, you may leave a little underwhelmed. On our walk home we passed a charming local spot and all quietly wished we'd eaten there instead.

    Welcome to this modern restaurant gussied up in an old building. Fancy wallpaper mimics aged…read moreplaster. There are lot's of windows which give this place a perennial sense of good cheer. Downstairs, you will find a pocket sized dining room overlooking diners outside at several additional tables in the shadow of the Cathedral. The second floor is accessible only by a ship's ladder and is compact without feeling cramped or crowded. (Think Chez L'Ami Jean in Paris and Cha Ca in Hanoi for that claustrophobic dining experience. Those are places where you all have to lift a fork and then chew in unison otherwise it won't work.) The Staff: Parlez only 5 words in French, even butchered French, and they will glow and shine with pride that you tried. Yes, both waitresses are harried going up and down those steep stairs all night like mad hamsters, but sit back and sip your Vin du pays (tonight, Merlot) and let the time tick. Wine and Aperitifs: There is ubiquitous selection of Kir this and that. A Cider or too (we're in apple country), and a tight wine list. In the USA "house wine" comes in a waxed box with someone's missing Step-dad pictured on the side. It usually has a shelf life equal to Uranium. In France the house wine is often the chef's favorite and an excellent choice. The French, bless them, do not abide poor wine. Here, the Merlot was as soft and dry as a toweled off baby after a tour in the tub. It was fit for Royalty, a royal wine snob, or anyone who simply likes things simple and good. The Vibe: Who goes there? Tourists who were underwhelmed with Le Pommier and thought they could do better. And we all did that here. So can you. The Food: There are Prix Fixe choices. All are beyond very reasonable and all different. Then there is a 4th menu offering you a choice of anything from the previous three menus in case you can't decide and finally there is an ala carte option. The Prix Fixe alternatives make the most sense and are the best value, so don't be that person. In the USA often the Blue Plate Special is usually a walk-in clean out. This is fairly priced fare in a country that isn't bashful about overcharging for chow. The Camembert Tart with Roasted Apples set on Puff Pastry positively oozed gooey cheese, melting like a suitor's heart. It was sweet, tart, and salty which are all fine attributes in a tarte, a tart and a significant other. It is accompanied by a perky simple fresh garden salad splashed with a light Vinaigrette. The Pork Pate masqueraded as Pate, but take off it's mask and you will find a wonderful Head Cheese. It had all the requisite piggy parts in gelatin. Blue Collar Pate it was and perfect for me. The pig doesn't grow it or own it that I won't eat it and like it. The key is to get the pig to stop wiggling while the chef helps himself to things the pig didn't want any more. Good for me. Then came the Skate Wing (how often do you see those?) My Wing was buried in butter and garlic and served with Sweet Potatoes piped into swirls, a pile-o-baby Vegetables all cooked al dente crisp along with a Spinach Timbale. Beautiful as a fashion show with each taste treat struttin' their stuff on the plate. The Chicken Fricasse with Frites, Baby Artichokes elevated Chicken to regal status. Braised in white wine it was stellar from it's thighs to yours. And in summation, there was a Apple Tarte with delicious house made Vanilla Ice Cream. (Good Vanilla Ice Cream is evidence that there is God. This Ice Cream made me a believer.) Both Ben and Jerry would commit crimes against nature in public to learn how to make this. The fresh Apples were cooked off until they were soft and then neatly arranged on a Puff Pastry tray that crisp and buttery. My evening began and ended with a tarte, so to speak, but I was happy to do my part. I ate it all and asked the four people at the next table if they were going to eat everything they ordered.

AMBIANCE: Upscale, beautiful and nicely decorated with a wood burning fireplace to take off the chill. SERVICE: We were a wee bit late but still warmly greeted by the manager, I presume. When we asked to switch tables we were met with a bit of resistance but we were accommodated, while our server looked on in disbelief. At that point our entire party saw the look of displeasure on her face and we saw the manager lady making fun of us; she surely didn't think we would see her. When they saw that we caught them they quickly recomposed themselves but we already felt the fake vibe and we could tell that we were 100% an annoyance to them for sure. As other reviews have mentioned it it turned out to not be the friendliest service. FOOD & DRINK: We started out with three appetizers of escargot, foie gras and a charcuterie platter with local meats. For entrees, we had chicken, Tripes and sea bass. We had a very lovely bottle of wine but we decided to forego dessert due to the uncomfortable vibe, and they did not hide their relief. The presentation of the food was nicely done but the taste was somewhat underwhelming, as other reviews have also mentioned, and given the price point and the forced service, it was a disappointingly average dinner. I don't know that I would recommend this place but as always, please support your local small business! 3/12/26
