En visite à Lisieux nous avons fait une halte dans ce café restaurant. L'accueil y était chaleureux. La cuisine est faite maison, nous avons pris le plat du jour et c'était vraiment bon. Le seul petit hic à mon goût, c'est que je trouve l'assiette un peu légère en garniture. Sinon je vous recommande cet endroit.

Excellent "bistrot" pour un déjeuner en vacances ou de passage . Accueil très sympathique, service souriant et diligent. Cuisine, des plats bien préparés, bien présentés. La salade César , l'onglet à l'échalote nous ont ravis !
