Do stop by Nicola's lovely wine shop when you are in Cabourg (and check out his gourmet shop next…read moredoor!). This is such a sweet little store with an amazing selection of French wine, spirits, and Calvados. Nicola also produces fine spirits and liqueurs that are hard to find elsewhere. And he is a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm! He answered all our questions and helped us make the perfect selection, even locating lovely little Calvados glasses for us. Cabourg is such a delightful little seaside town and Nicola's wine shop is amongst its gems.

It seemed that once we showed that we were not going to be "pesky Americans" they softened up to us! Let me tell you, the food was superb. Probably our best meal we ate on our entire trip to Europe. We had a bruschetta appetizer, escargot, steaks and baked potatoes, and an apple dessert. The sour cream was homemade cream- amazing. Our waiter (one of the owners) informed us that the apples in our dessert came right off of a tree out back (he spoke a little bit of broken English and started trying to use it later in the meal to communicate a little better with us). If you are looking for some where with no tourists to have an amazing meal- look no further. If we ever go back to France and are able to take a trip out to Normandy again, we will absolutely eat here again.
