Everything about this restaurant screams traditional from the classic Norman dishes to the…read moretraditional Norman dress of your servers. This was one of the last meals I had while I was in France last summer and it was very memorable. It was especially fun because we were seated inside an old calvados barrel, making it a very unique experience! Before I even talk about the food, I highly recommend you try their apple beer (see picture top right)! It is AMAZING! My uncle and aunt did all the ordering, but make sure to go for the prix fixe. It's the most bang for your euro and it is indeed a ton of food. I don't have my travel journal with me at the moment, but I will update this with my food review when I do. A must when exploring France's countryside.

Additionally, the sun was setting outside, and the view was just gorgeous. I had a fixed menu that include lasagna, veal, and chocolate cake. Everything was well made and finely crafted. The chocolate cake with red berry sauce was out of this world! Highly recommend. It is fairly close to Lisieux if you are in the area. Prices are relatively reasonable compared to what you would pay for the same cuisine in America.

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.
