In fact, there are so little places to eat in Argentan that my coworkers had to eat there for three meals out of four meals, and i had to eat there two out of two meals. I was told that the restaurant is owned by the same chef/owner as the renaissance hotel/restaurant (a michelin mention) and because the renaissance was closed all week long the time we were there (in oct), they kept referring us to Maria. However, once we get to Maria, we are told there are no opening (restaurant is nonetheless empty) and after i insisted in french that the hotel sent us, they finally let us in and told us to eat quickly (I guess they have a lot of reservations for later and was afraid we would eat in french time - which is not leaving until lthe night ends). We assured them we needed to be back at the hotel before 9pm so they were okay with it. Anyway, having eaten there for dinner and for lunch the next day, I would say the food there is decent, and the service is decent. Nothing about the place stands out besides the fact that the interior is modern whereas the town is small old french town in normandy. One of the small handful of choices to eat in argentan if you dont have a car and dont wanna eat steak frites or croque monsieur at the million brasseries in the town.

This is an amazing hidden gem in the country side of north western France. The hotel is nice but…read morethe food is Michelin star worthy...just incredible!

It was 4pm and I was hungry. No restaurants in Argentan are opened between 3pm and 7pm and I have…read morenot eaten all day. After I bought a croissant d'almonde, i wandered around the town center and was about to give up on being have to eat food with some substance when i chanced upon the dark, large, and empty fast food kebab place that was actually opened all day long. WHAT! I walked in and ordered a plate of kebab to go that came with fries and bulgur and salad (ginormous) for less than 10 EUR and ate to my happiness, which is about only half of the actual portion they gave me. The portion is large! If you are in dire need of food but it's not regular eating hours, just come here. The food here is good enough to satisfy (i have had better, but we are talking argentan here) and i'd rather eat here than at any of the brasseries in town.
