This is a place not to miss. The ambiance is perfect the service was clasic and the food meet all of my expectations. My good friend and I visited the restaurant after the 24 Hours of Leman. Thank you. Manny read more

Le Pommier - In front of the restaurant. A perfect day. - French Near Me - Bayeux, 14

We came here for dinner based off of the recommendation of our hotel and it was a short walk, which we appreciated. 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 read more

While making Bayeux the center of our Normandy visit, we had decided we wanted one upscale restaurant. We selected Le Pommier and are very happy we did. This restaurant, which feels like it is in a home by the way the rooms are divided, despite the fact it is a storefront, was just charmingly wonderful. We had reservations and were seated right away. For drinks before and with dinner we decided on a bottle of wine which was quite reasonably priced and turned out to be a perfect decision. With wine in hand we began by sharing two starters: a very well presented and good-sized regional charcuterie board, and the small fondue with Normandy cheeses and salads, cold meats and soldiers. Both were excellent, but the fondue was extremely imaginative and different. We finished them both. For the main courses, my wife decided to have the salad with goat cheese and honey and roasted seeds. The honey was a great flavor addition to this traditional French salad and the toast points with goat cheese were generous. I had the 7-hour leg of lamb in garlic cream. I was expecting a leg of lamb itself and instead received sliced lamb from the leg in the cream sauce with a potato casserole and a side of carrots and green beans resting in a wonderful yellow sauce. I say yellow because I don't know what it was made of, but it added to the overall flavor of everything. Though the "leg" was not as expected, I was not in any way disappointed because everything was so good. Pacing throughout the meal was perfect. Sound levels were excellent for conversation and the temperature comfortable. In other words, le Pommier was a hit on all levels. read more

Wow, one of the best meals I've ever had in France. My While crab was succulent and flavorful and cooked just right. Started with a Foie gras which was to die for. Atmosphere, ambiance, service and overall incredible food. Reservations are easy to make and required. read more

When I walked in to this lovely restaurant, I had high hopes. They were quickly dashed. The service was sub par, the food was just ok. Do not order the pork it is over cooked and chewy. There is no love in the food. So many better places in the area. I'd skip this one. read more

Food was ok.my pork was so overdone it was inedible Ambiance was nice, no accessible bathroom. The service was lacking kindness, friendliness and compassion. Pass on this one. read more

Best Foie Gras I ever had. The seafood platter was amazing as well. Escargot was so flavorful.For the entrees our favorite was the tripe stew. I might come back and just get the 3 appetizers and dip the entrees as they were that good. Outstanding read more

Food was very underwhelming and pricey. They advertise a "lamb leg" yet they give you cubed meat which almost appears to be boiled and then drown it in a very sub-par sauce. There are much better options for dinner in the area. read more

Beautiful spot right across from the church. We ate lunch outside - splitting a half bottle of rosé and sharing the budda bowl and smoked salmon with cheese. It was so spot on perfect both for the weather, lunch and to just enjoy a light lunch so we were able to still walk around and explore. Service was good, patio is excellent. read more

Make a reservation at the restaurant fills up. All the food choices we ate were nicely presented and tasted great. Others near us seemed to enthusiastically enjoy their meals. Although I looked away when locals ordered snails! We got the fixed-price menu and we were able to customize it switching some items for others on the menu at no additional cost. For dessert we got their signature apple tart with ice cream. It was great with crispy filo dough and baked apples. The next evening we went to another restaurant just down the street past the cathedral. We should have come back to eat here! It was one of the best meals we had on our trip to France. And the staff spoke English and were all very friendly. read more

A busy but intimate restaurant, with luxurious food and great attention to detail. Our server was attentive, the menu was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our first dinner in Bayeux. The seafood plate was beautiful and the foie gras well presented. The lamb was rich and tender. Dessert was a fitting end--perfect! read more

The service was great and presentation nice... but when you order "Leg of lamb cooked 7 hours" and get sliced roast beef, you're getting taken advantage of. We were hungry after a day of museums and touring Normandy beaches, so I didn't question them right there. I speak no French, so disputing it was not an option. When we arrived with backpack we were asked if we had a reservation (no) and taken to a back room. No, we were not sweaty / dirty in appearance. The backpack was full of expensive photography and rain gear. Everyone was very nice, but when I got the plate and saw slices... I was aghast. There were a couple of "chunks" which I tasted - beautiful lamb, but the majority of the meat was sliced roast beef (no "leg" to be found). read more

We had the house wines(red and white) which were both delightful. The escargot were perfectly cooked, nice texture with a lovely sauce that begged to have the bread dipped in it! The cod was perfectly cooked with a succulent red sauce. The polenta that accompanied it was superb. The 25 y/o apple pie recipe in phyllo dough with ice cream was as good as advertised. Accompanied by a 18 y/o calvados made it even better! read more

This is a modern grotto made to look like an old grotto. Dark wood floors support stone on the walls and wooden beams supports the halls all freshly painted egg shell white. It has the feel of a converted dance studio that mated with a pension. It's an elderly building with a face lift, and who knows, maybe William the Conqueror ate here after a hard day of slaughtering his half brother, Harold. Could be he used panel #32 from the town's famous 70 meter long tapestry for a napkin or to mop up Harold before dinner service. Oh Brother! I settled in and ordered a cocktail for a change from my preferred Kir Royale. As this is apple country I asked for a Soliel Normande (Calvados, Bananas, and Orange Juice (A local fruit? Non. OJ is something to enjoy Sunday morning with Show Tunes and Toast or to avoid in a dark alley in West LA). The drink was basically a Frat House Special. Benign until it bites you. It was like the famous Chinese executioner so adept at his craft that the condemned was still chatting after the perfect stroke. That was me after I drained the Le Pommier Punch. The Vibe: Who goes there? Frommer's roamers. They see you coming and hand you the English menu. Maybe it's the fanny pack, back pack, belly pack, well thumbed Rick Steve's book in hand, a bandolero of cameras, a selfie stick dangling from a belt loop, and Evian bottles stuffed into every pocket that gave it away. The Staff: Efficient as a 10th Panzer Division crew. The Food: Better that what the troops got on D-Day. The Amuse Bouche was an insipid Lipid Pate. (Actually it was fish, which does not rhyme with insipid). Then there was a Tapenade served with packaged coins of dry bread. I ate this only because I could reach it and needed something to soak up the Calvados. Next, came a plate of local oysters. Game on. Oregon versus Normandy. Go Ducks. These puppies were definitely not up to the Oyster Depot in San Francisco or Row 34 in Boston. They were body temperature, (mine, not theirs), listless bivalves. Be advised, they are only half shucked. So, when you tip to slurp all you get is Mignonette which is like drinking the salad dressing. They have to be pried from their shell like a shy date, and usually both are not worth the effort. The Cassoulet L'Escargot do not have to be evicted from their shells. They were homeless. A pile of babies laying in a heap like the fallen at Antietam. While these little garden creepers were good, they weren't as good as the ones at Petit Trois in LA which wins the snail race by a mile. Then the Sea Bass in Caramel Ginger Sauce swan to the table. Highly touted by other Yelpers. Hmmm...The fish was nicely cooked. The sauce was a throwback to the good old Colonial days when the French owned and operated Vietnam. Carrot Puree rode shotgun on the plate and fit well but the dish was not the stuff dreams are made of. A hunk of Monk Fish, next up. It was also well prepared and served in a pool of Lemon, Wine, and a touch of Cream on it's way off the Expediter's station. It all mixed with the Shredded Vegetables (Carrots, Zucchini, and Onions) which were still crisp to the tooth as they should be. There was a Beaver Dam Timbale of dry Quinoa and Rice. Not exactly French, but neither were any of the patrons. Both fish dishes were made by practiced hands, that maybe were to well rehearsed as neither fish dish was inspired. The Cheese plate was decent. Brie and Camembert, are safe bets and both available at Kroger's. The local Ponte L'Vec and Cantal both available at any small market were served generously. (Good business policy or they needed to push the cheese out the door?) Either way, I like cheese, and it was served with an interesting Walnut Bread. Finally, there was an Apple Sorbet with crunchy Apple pieces, and that was very nice. A snifter of Calvados came separately (thank you) which should be poured on sparingly as it is better suited to keeping a Cuban Cigar company or jacking the sauce on the porc. Do us all a favor and leave the stale Tuile. In the end, Le Pommier was just okay. read more

I didn't have a reservation but still got seated right away. The food was delicious and didn't take too long. Some dishes I particularly enjoyed included local apple cider, crème brûlée, and cod. Although somewhat expensive, definitely worth a visit! read more

Quality food and service, a relaxed comfortable atmosphere. Yes go without hesitation.

Le Pommier was the best place for fine dining and wine in our four night stay in Bayeux. The atmosphere was small, quaint and charming. Dress was business casual. The recommended wine was superb. I started with the foie gras which was excellent. My wife had scallops and I had duck as main dishes, both great. We finished with a shared ice cream and apple strudel. read more

Had an excellent dinner of sea bass. It was very good. Service was very good too. I would definitely eat here again.

Great meal in Bayeux. Nice location - very responsive to email reservation inquiry. I think this would be very good with a group or for a business meal - I was traveling alone and also had a great experience! Delicious oysters were the highlight. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at Le Pommier! I ordered from the gourmet menu. I had the filet of sea bass with ginger caramel sauce and it was delicious. Before the entree, we were served a little fish appetizer and a biscuit. My husband and friends ordered a cheese platter, a seafood appetizer platter, and pork medallions. They also got an apple pie tartlet for dessert. I ordered a chocolate fondue. It came with a dish of dark chocolate, almost a pudding, with little biscuits and candies to dunk. Service was a bit too slow and leisurely. read more

This place is average from a food perspective in Bayeux. The service is very good. If you are looking for a place that you must have English speaking staff, this place will work for you. Very reasonable prices on all of the broad menu items. It is in a very convenient location near the middle of town also. It is clean and semi modern for the old city area. Overall it was worth going to dinner there. read more

We had 2 delicious, reasonably priced dinners here. The shellfish appetizer, sea bass and desserts are all first rate. Service is very good and prices fair--one of the few Sunday night options, too. Ignore the post(s) claiming they are anti-American--they were very nice to us despite my awful French and sneakers. read more

Delicious dinner, I'm so glad we came here. We all ordered something different and equally enjoyed our meals (mixed meat plate, chicken, duck & the steak vegetal). So darn good. read more

Excellent experience and tremendous food. I was slightly apprehensive having read some of the recent negative reviews, but have to wonder if maybe they reviewed the wrong restaurant. I had the duck with mashed black potatoes and cleaned my plate. The presentation was outstanding and our family of four all enjoyed their respective meals. The house special apple pie for dessert was fantastic. Would very much recommend an evening here. read more

The food is a solid 5 but the service was a 2. They need more staff or those who seem to like their work.

Nice restaurant, good staff, centrally located in downtown Bayeux with rare vegan options.

We had a great dinner here. The people were friendly and prompt especially considering there were only 3 people working the entire restaurant. We started with toast with creme fresh and marinated shrimp. We ordered from the Taste of Normandy selections. Our appetizer was a combination platter of whelks, prawns, periwinkles, and oysters. One main course was the duck and the other was the fish in a creme sauce. For dessert, we had a wonderful apple tart with spicy ice cream. read more

First off, I completely disagree with the "Attire Dressy" entry under "More Business Info" in Yelp. My wife and I were dressed up, but no one else was. There were people in T-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, and sneakers. Now to the important stuff: This place has very good service. All the staff spoke English well, and they were all friendly and patient. The food was very good. I had the "Menu des saveurs" (the set menu). I chose the shellfish plate for an appetizer, the filet of sea bass for an entree, and the profiteroles for dessert. All three were perfectly prepared. My wife had an appetizer of carpaccio with beef and duck and an entree of 7-hour slow-roasted leg of lamb. Both were excellent. It was her favorite meal in our trip through France. The prices were very reasonable as well, especially for the quality of the food. read more

It's rare that I go to a restaurant 2 nights in a row but Le Pommier was so good we decided we couldn't do better on night two in Bayeux. First night started with a plate of oysters. Very tasty but require some work to pull off the shell. The mains of sea bass and seven-hour lamb are really excellent. I can't recall ever before getting served more lamb than I can eat. The restaurant offers 50 CL carafes of various house wines. We opt for one but each get a Calvados after the meal. It's divine - a very powerful nose that you need to sniff again and again. The next night we are back at Le Pommier. It's so good and really convenient we don't think we can do better. We start with a plate of dried ham and terrine and a bowl of mussels. For mains my wife gets duck breast with a red fruit sauce and I get the lamb parmentier - a high-end shepherd's pie of shredded lamb and mashed potatoes.. Again we go for a house carafe and a Calvados. Everything is realy good - the lamb parmentier stands out. Interesting how they employ waitresses to cope with the peak volume who then disappear (service remains excellent) when they are less needed. read more

They were very flexible and accommodating with our big group of 27 American travelers, and they created a great prix-fixe menu that was delicious and reasonably priced. I appreciate all their hard work, as our group lunch in Bayeux was a great success. A big thank you to the staff! read more

We stopped by there at 6:00 pm and it was empty. I asked in French for a table for two and I was asked if I had reservation. I replied no and I was told they are fully booked and to return at 8:30pm. Surprised we then left and had a great dinner at a nearby restaurant. We passed by around 40 minutes later and it was 1/2 full. Glad we didn't eat there!!!! read more

I feel like they took forever on our dessert and our check because we are American. The actual dinner was good and the the timing was right. When it can to dessert only one person in our 6 top party ordered and it took 40 minutes. Not sure what happened! read more

They're not to be trusted, nor are they able to deal with, or communicate about a diner's dietary concerns. My wife and I had made dinner reservations after getting assurances that the restaurant could provide a dairy-free meal for my wife. The wait staff kept having to ask the kitchen about basic ingredients for our main dishes which were, surprisingly, only acceptable. We had made it very clear to the staff that my wife is dairy allergic, and that she would be sick if she had butter, cream, or any other milk products. They offered sorbet for dessert, and we were again assured that the food was dairy-free. My wife ate a bite or two, but when I tasted the sorbet, I warned my wife to immediately stop eating. They had given her ice cream. We called over the staff which, after once again going back to the kitchen, they admitted that they had given her ice cream, but excused themselves of the gross error by stating that there was only a small amount of milk in the dessert. They actually minimized our concerns for their error. I refused to pay the entire bill, and left cash for only 50%. Needless to say, my wife was ill all night, and thankfully, she had not eaten more of the ice cream. There have been many restaurants which have clearly stated that they couldn't accommodate us, and this we accept. But when a restaurant says that they can give my wife food which won't make her sick, then we expect them not to do so. read more

Great ambiance and friendly staff. My meal was great, the sauce that was put on the veal was fantastic. It was great dipping sauce for the fries. However my wife's steak was $28 euro and it was so fatty. She probably was able to eat only half of the steaks size. The apple dessert that came with the dish was also very good. I wish the steak would have been presented better because it is definitely a 4 star caliber restaurant. But with the pricing being so high, you kind of expect more. read more

Boy was this disappointing. The menu looked great, the staff was pretty good, but the culinary execution was pretty bleak. Whatever meat was ordered was overcooked, regardless of the actual temperature request. The food itself was purely average,certainly not worth the price. Even the desserts seemed to be substandard. The food was edible and average, which is why it gets a two star (as opposed to a one star). But there are far too many options in town to have to resort to this place. Of all the meals we had during our visit to Bayeux, this was the least memorable. read more

If the service had been better we would rate this 4 stars, because the food was good. We had to wait a LONG time to order our meal. Then after we got our appetizers, we watched several other tables of people who came in after us get their meals. We continued to wait patiently - didn't want to appear rude and demanding. Finally, after about 1.5 hours, we caught the attention of another waitress and asked if there was a problem with our food. She went to check and came back and told us it had not been prepared yet but would be ready in just a few minutes. Then our food finally came. We also had to go up to the counter to pay our bill because it was not brought to the table after we asked for it. The manager was NOT friendly or apologetic about the poor service, or offer any type of consolation. In all, we were in the restaurant almost 3 hours!! read more

Delicious! From the appetizers to the desserts...simply wonderful and amazingly friendly! Highly recommended this restaurant! read more
