    Andouille with calvados cream
    Mark K.

    Traditional French, and particularly Norman, food in a lovely little restaurant in a quaint French town. Can't remember what mom had, maybe because I had wine and she had hard cider. I had selections from the 15E menu; they had several price levels and, of course, items you could order on their own. First was the salmon spinach pastry- large enough to be a small entree, tasty and hot. Superb pastry. Then the main course, andouille in calvados cream. A patty, of very good sausage, covered in a creamy sauce with a hint of apple (calvados is apple brandy, a local specialty.) Served with fries and a couple of little salads, all of which were good. I barely had room left, but polished off the dessert: panna cotta with raspberry sauce. Wow- just outstanding. Almost every meal I had in France was great, but I'll remember this one for a long time. Service was typically French, helpful but not intrusive. The place is small but elegant.

    I walked by this restaurant numerous times, and on my last evening in Bayeux decided to give it a try. Couldn't have been more pleased with the 28 Euro prix fix meal and the attentive service

    Enjoyed a lovely meal with the kindest of staff.  Truly the best meal we've had on this French holiday!

    We had been to Bayeux twice but haven't experienced the best there was to offer regarding food, but tonight we throughly enjoyed one of the best meals this whole French holiday. From the entrees to the main and then finishing up with the best mousse ever, we would highly recommend Le Petit Normand. The staff were so friendly and gave great attention to all their guests.

    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.

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
