The choice is massive and many come with a twist that will make your mouth water. They have cheese and tomato sauce, fish to cook in stock, pork etc. Just to be sure, go there with enough people to be able to check as many as possible out. They are worth it! The flavoured coffees are also a good hit, even if just to help you digest!

We came here for dinner based off of the recommendation of our hotel and it was a short walk, which…read morewe 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

Go to this restaurant for its fondue, but nothing else. The location is in a side area, but don't…read morebe fooled, the restaurant itself is very welcoming. The fondue was excellent, the best you will have in Caen, however I would reccomend bringing around 4 people to finish a single fondue dish which is quite large, even though the menu says it is for at least 2. The meat is quite average, but the pave de bœuf I ordered was undercooked, almost raw. i asked for a few more minutes; and though my server graciously agreed, I discovered that it was still somewhat raw at the center after a second try. I would suggest avoiding the meats, but by all means do not hesitate with the excellent fondue.

And not just any cheese, french cheese! And not just anywhere, in France, in Rouen! The most important city of Normandy, once the city of kings, and the city of robust cheese trade, where every cheese from every part of France passed through. The restaurant is a simple and joyful lightly decorated, unmistakably french saloon. The staff are very helpful, a reduced english menu exists, but the best choices are in the french menu! Don't miss the appetizers, they are melting! And the different types of heavenly fondue are in the middle page! They are minimum for two people, so take your friend with you. I recommend red wine, even with all this cheese, they have 3 great choices by the glass and even more by the bottle. Finish your meal with a profiterol, and you're half way to heaven. The cheesy heaven with fondue rivers and parmesan mountains, camembert forest and gruyere fields.
