Très bonne adresse à Pont-l'Évêque. Cuisine top de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert, ambiance conviviale avec une jolie salle vivante mais pas bruyante, et rapport qualité-prix très correct. Rien à redire, on a passé un excellent moment!

There arent many restaurants open in Pont l'eveque on a Mo day night, and a frantic couple of days googling found this and A.N.Other. We were very glad we opted to walk a few minutes further, as this was a stunning meal. Its a small neighbourhood restaurant - I'd recommend booking, really - we got lucky. The kir normand was delicious, and the food that followed was really, really good. The children's menu offered 4 choices of proper meals - not just a formula enfant, with a burger or nuggets and fries. Boy had chicken fricassee, and loved it. We had snails en cocotte, and pont l'eveque croustillant to start. We both went for guinea fowl, and then sable breton dessert.

Petit restaurant au top! Nous avons dégusté le menu 3 services. La carte est variée et les produits de qualité! L’accueil est parfait, agréable et sympathique! Les cocottes sont incroyables… Croustillants de Pont l’évêque, cocotte œuf lardons camembert et cocotte de poissons… de vrais délices! Je recommande cette adresse sans hésitation et j’y reviendrai certainement lors d’un prochain voyage dans la région…
