This is the place to go for a great galette (savory crepe), and is also very close to the site of the Bayeux Tapestry. It’s situated next to the Aure River, where lovely summer weather makes for a wonderful dining experience on the terrace outside. It’s slightly out of the way of what can be a very busy area in high season and all the better for it; staff are accommodating and helpful and the food is simple, earthy and delicious.

This place can be found opposite the cathedral and is a cheery restaurant which is especially cozy during the winter months. It offers a full range of meats and fish, as well as an excellent wine list to accompany the food. During festival season it can get quite busy, but the waiters are practically bilingual, which is handy for English visitors.

This restaurant excels in both food and interior decor. It is also traditional in both senses; the cuisine is Norman and highlights the best foods on offer without being too heavy, whilst the restaurant itself is situated along a cobbled alley and has a bare, rustic feel to it. This is an excellent little discovery for couples or small groups and offers fine fish dishes to boot.

La Rapiere, 53 Rue Saint-Jean, 14400 Bayeux, France, +33 2 31 21 05 45

This romantic restaurant also focuses on traditional food but adds something of a modern twist to it. Small and exclusive, with both a set and an a la carte menu, the Michelin-starred chef delivers tasty food with flair and flavor. It also has a specific vegetarian menu, which can be a rarity in France.

Le Pommier, 40 Rue des Cuisiniers, 14400 Bayeux, +33 2 31 21 52 10

Another restaurant which requires a bit of driving to reach but which rarely fails to impress, Château de Sully is a Michelin-starred establishment set in an 18th century chateau with beautiful grounds. The chef, Nicholas, is known for his delicate and exquisite dishes which are an inventive take on French cuisine.

Set in the town of Bayeux itself, this funky, quirky and homely spot boasts a colorful and eclectic interior decor. The food is wonderful, too; fresh, healthy and served in just the right sized portions. Expect bagels, sweet and savory tarts and salads, not to mention a local crowd who are always quick to sing Chez Paulette’s praises.

Taking inspiration from local cuisine and seasonal meats and seafood while adding a dash of style and skills from the school of modern cooking, L’Angle St Laurent is another contender for a memorable first or last meal in town. As the name suggests, seafood is this place’s forte.
