Very disappointed, we had to send back our first course because it was served too cold. After we finished a replacement round at a warmer temperature we waited over 20 minutes for our burgers. Crème Brûlée was barely touched with a torch and was clearly pre-made. Oh yeah, and the food poisoning was miserable.

It arrive extremely hot and remained hot until the last bite. The soup (Matelote) came in it's own pot. There was a variety of fish and shell-fish and potatoes. The sauce had a fantastic fish flavor sitting on top of a buttery-cream sauce. Perfect for a cold day! Ample quantity of each dish to split. The wait staff were attentive and helpful . Come here!

For our second night in the coastal village of Honfleur we decided to have dinner off the boat…read morebasin, giving up the idyllic ambience, but hoping for a better meal because the kitchens would have to try harder to attract patrons since they don't have the view to draw people in. We picked well with L'Estuaire. Three women were taking care of everyone in the front of the house. One seemed to be the owner and the other two, dressed in black pants or skirt with white blouses and black sweaters, were the height of efficiency. Not that they didn't get a bit confused in bringing us and others dessert before the cheese course that was expected, but I marvel at how French restaurants don't rely on busboys and food runners. Everyone does everything with way fewer people and if you need something from someone, you just ask anyone. August may not be a month with R but I knew I had to have moules (mussels) on this trip to France. Not surprisingly, they're a regional specialty along the Normandy coast where you can get versions made with brut cider, cheese sauce, and cream. Brian had had the cider version the day before so I went for the Moules Normande, made with cream. By that description alone, what's not to like? Fresh mussels cooked with cream, onions, and herbs: shut yo' mouth! In his usual attempt to eat healthfully Brian had the salmon toasts and for our mains we went with red meat this night accompanied by a really nice bordeaux from St. Emilion. Rounding out my list of trying the French classics while here I had steak au poivre and Brian had grilled lamb rib chops. Never mind that seafood is the thing in these parts! Both were cooked as ordered: medium to medium rare and it helped that the waitress was able to explain to us that it would be "entre rouge a rose." And the frites! The French just really know what to do with a freakin' potato! Something so ordinary at home is once again sublime here in La France! Very young cheese being the thing in this region we specifically chose a restaurant with a cheese course as part of the set menu. Really, one serving of cheese would have done for us both and we could have shared a dessert but of course we both had cheese plus our own desserts. Livarot cheese was the discovery this night, which had a markedly distinctive tang compared to the very smooth Camembert and the in-between Pont L'Eveque. Brian had a delicious Livarot crepe the next day that really outshone my Pont L'Eveque version. Dessert more than held its own as usual. I had to have the apple tart in this region also known for its apples. It was delicious and seemed to have layer of apple sauce on the bottom, something I've seen in recipes for French apple tart. I was a bit surprised that there was bit of a scorch on some of the apples but then I saw a recipe with a picture and sure enough that seems to be an expected feature of the tart. Brian's chocolate fondant in a pool of creme anglaise was also impeccably delicious, needless to say.

Things happen but I can't accept the reaction and lack of consideration for clients. Do bother. There are many other place to eat in Aromanches. Bien situé avec un menu correct. Toutefois le service et façon de considérer les clients laisse à desirer. Ce soir j'ai commandé le filet de bœuf Rossini. On m'informe que la cuisson sera saignante et pas autrement. Lorsque la viande arrive bleue et j'informe la serveuse que ce n'est pas ce qui était convenu on me traite avec dédain et on me fait comprendre que ce n'est pas moi qui décide Malheureusement c'est tout ce que déteste du service à la française. Ne perdez pas votre temps ni argent ici il y a bien d'autres choix autour!

While visiting the beaches and memorials along the Normandy coastline, my family stopped by this…read morerestaurant facing Omaha Beach. My family shared a salmon platter, a delicious salad, and two buckets of fresh (and young!) mussels in white wine and cream sauce. Bread was complementary and went well with the mussels and fish. The salmon weas smooth and moist, and perfectly, minimally seasoned so I could really appreciate the seafood. The mussels were sweet with a crunch, which I could tell was very fresh. The chicken salad is very different from ones I have at home, with tomatoes, mushrooms, green beans, bell peppers, lettuce, and other greens. It's definitely a large meal for 4 people but we couldn't stop eating until every platter was cleaned out.
