Today I came to this town called Le Havre to visit smaller towns around here. I decided to walk to…read morethe beach on this first day and have some cocktail around the beach. I walked into this restaurant/bar right beside the beach, which was almost the only one open. A guy asked me if I only want to drink or eat foods, and I said I only wanted to drink. And then he "told me to" seat outside with a little unkind attitude. At the moment I just thought outside is for "only drink customer" and inside is for food customer, although my mom got unpleasant a bit. But few minutes later we felt cold, so I asked a server if we could seat inside. She said "sure". I got a little curious about why he told us to seat outside without asking, but it was fine then. While we were having cocktail and crepe inside, the guy was saying something in french to us, looking at us, even though he knew we don't understand french. And! The servers were laughing at his talking, LOOKING AT US. I was little confused if it's just kidding or something bad. We asked the servers what he said and they ONLY SAID "NO"(maybe she meant "nothing"). I hope it's not a discrimination against asian or non-french-speaker, but I strongly felt so. If it was just kidding, she should've tried to tell us what it was about when I asked her with serious face, but she didn't. The thing is, I've never tought someone's attitude to me is like discrimination while I've been visitting 23 different countries. This is so rude.

It looks as if this had changed a little between when I checked out the best pubs in Rouen and when…read moreI actually wandered through the door. Mind you, considering that there are a lot of those Tabac pubs scattered about, this one actually isn't all that bad, and is actually reasonably charming. At one stage it was apparently a scottish bar (if there is actually such a place), however it seems as if this is no longer the case, and is now a scandanavian themed bar. It is a little out of the way, which basically means getting does taken a little bit of time, but it is certainly worth it, especially with the river side (sort of, there is a road between the bar and the river) location.

From the owner: Que de cocktails ! Le Camp Gourou, tout de bois décoré est situé en plein centre ville. Le bar…read moredispose d'un large éventail de cocktails : à base de rhum, téquila, whisky, calavados, vodka, malibu, gin, cognac ou encore des cocktails à macération et des "shooter" chauds. Parmi cet immense choix, retenez la Cervelle de Singe, un single shot composé d'un alcool blanc (gin ou rhum), de bailey's et de sirop de fraise. Demandez la bière du mois !

Cafe Marius is a little rooftop restaurant and lounge just two streets back from the beach and…read moreclose to the casino. The menu has around 10 choices, from croques to tartines and cheese and meats. Prices are steep (16euros average for a small snack and 9 euros for a glass of wine) but the rooftop is perfectly peaceful with lots of seating option. I took the Italian tartine and while small, it's was delicious and well-seasoned. Situated above a little decoration store, it's a little peace of cutesy calm in the coastal town of Deauville.
