La brasserie travaille avec les ports de pêche proches de la ville, le poisson est donc l'un des mets que vous y trouverez comme le cabillaud rôti au parmesan. La terrasse est accueillante, elle donne une vue sur les remparts.

First: order the appetizer plate for two, it was loaded w cheese, Salami, Spec, Bread etc. I had the omelette w bacon for dinner. That too was excellent . The burgers looked awesome at the table next to us with tons of fries. The owners were on site and made sure everything was going well for you. Check it out, you will be pleased.

Bayeux is a must-see: cathedral, tapestry, and the Musee de la Bataille will take a few hours, and…read moreshould be done before the pilgrimage to the beaches. This means lunch in Bayeux, and if you're there on a Monday pickings are slim. But Le Bouchon is open and is just right for an economical and homelike bite: it's a wine shop (good selection) with a few tables and a 12 euro menu. A tiny corner-stove behind a tiny bar does daily specials to order. Choices necessarily limited. We had starter salads (not much greenery but a lot of charcuterie ), and both mains on the board (poulet roti and tripe a la mode de Caen). Delicious. The 50 cl pichet was filled from a labelled bottle (a Touraine red) and was priced at only ten euros ( note that most house wines come from an anonymous source and are often pure plonck.

They were happy to provide a menu in English for us less than French literate individuals. The staff were freindly and helpful. There was a little wait for a few items, like our drink order. But, overall excellent. Starters: Good, not great. We had the foie gras with rhubarb and Charcuterie. The foie gras had a mixed reaction. Some at the table enjoyed, others felt it lacked the flavors promised in the description. The Charcuterie was fairly standard, two types of sausage, serano ham, and tuna. Mains: we ordered the fish, lamb shank, beef, and fish & chips. The main dishes were the highlights of the meal. Each of them was excellent. My lamb was fall off the bone tender with a rich sauce. The vegitables were mostly squash (likely because they are in season), I would preferred something else. Dessets: Good, not great. We had the waffle with fruit, chocolate mousse, rice pudding, and the cheese board. The mousse and the rice pudding were very well received. However, the waffle and the cheese board were disappointing. The waffle was hard, overcooked or sitting out for too long. The cheese board had three similar cheeses, all of which were very mild (the inclusion of honey was a nice touch). Price: 2 starters, five mains, five desserts, several non-alcoholic drinks, and one cider ran 180 Euros, or 35E each.
