5 Stopped for a quick meal with the family. The chicken galette and Caesar salad were very fresh and tasty. Kids crepe were delicious. Staff was understanding of our poor French and were happy to communicate in English.
4 Cannot say anything about the food, looks also cosy. But mindset of the service is just rude & short minded. When asking to use the toilet for our youngest, even offering 1 Euro, we got a no & "that is not my problem!". Next time: think before talking.
5 Caen is excellent in general. During weekdays people are out , drinking and having fun . As a total stranger on the city , I found myself approached by locals just to talk and have a beer together . The bar was very good , personnel speaking English and offer me a couple of shots after my third beer
5 Parfait pour un midi et une pause rapide Galettes copieuses avec produits frais. Accompagné d’une salade (le bémol car une salade fraîche aurait été plu sympa qu’une salade en sachet.) . En dessert un basique incontournable la crêpe au caramel qui était tout aussi bonne en plein centre ville proche d’un parking pour se garer .
5 They are always crowded but stopped by one day for a drink and had some food. The staff is very nice and food was delicious.
5 Wonderful crèpes, good beer and a very kind waiter who spoke fluent english! Well done!
5 A good place ! Long long good time inside. Remembering for ever
4 Nice Guinness, the atmosphere is incomprehensible, there's no style. The service is fast. I wouldn't say it's nice to sit in the pub for a long time.
