TheForkUserL'Aromate is a gem of a spot, and our visit there was the dining highlight of our stay in Caen. We will of course remember the delicious fare, exquisitely conceived and presented. Our server, Paul was a delight--warm and so accommodating--and the lovely ambience afforded us the quiet calm we were seeking. Lovely wine offerings. Affordable, approachable elegance.
TheForkUserGreat wee gem of a place. Lovely friendly staff, great food at extremely reasonable prices. A must for a supper stop in Caen
TheForkUserEvery plate was excellent!
_TI***csI was impressed by the quality of the food at this restaurant. Everything is homemade, and the dishes are beautifully presented. A must-visit for anyone looking for a gourmet experience!
TheForkUserWe had an excellent meal at Cote Resto, which was our second visit. The food was delicious. The steak was perfect. The service was a bit slow at first but overall not an issue. The restaurant can be a bit loud but that's not unusual for the type of setting. *Stars rating based on restaurant category and price point.
TheForkUserWe enjoyed our meal in the garden. We initially chose the restaurant because of the combination of dog friendly environment and good quality food. We were not disappointed with either. If you have some walking shoes with you there is also a great circular walk, mostly off road on forest tracts.
TheForkUserThis restaurant is situated in beautiful surroundings. The staff were very welcoming and provided excellent service throughout our meal, explaining everything about our food and wine. Have eaten here twice, both times the menus give a good choice and the meals are exceptional.Would highly recommend a visit.
TheForkUserA very good place to eat galettes. Recommended
TheForkUserVery friendly service - the restaurant was full but the staff were so friendly and helpful. Salad buffet was plentiful and delicious. Mains were reasonably priced. The house red was very quaffable
TheForkUserFood, wonderfully presented and excellent quality.Accompanying wines were very well matched.Staff very helpful and attentive to any qyestion asked.I would definitely go back if I am lucky enough to get to Caen again
TheForkUserThank you for the service!
TheForkUserThis little restaurant was a great find.
TheForkUserThe ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for our meal and being seated near the fireplace with two legs of lamb roasting added to the experience. The food was beautifully presented and all in all was a very enjoyable experience!
TheForkUserA very tranquil place with a beautiful view over the water.The meal was delicious and the staff were attentive and charming.
TheForkUserService was good. Food was good value. However, I was concerned about the dark colour of the Tuna Sashimi. It was also a bit tough. It should be redish in colour, vibrant and tender. It wasn’t!! Also some of the salmon nigiri was chewy. It’s a sushi bar and the fish should have been perfect. It wasn’t!!
TheForkUserThe best restaurant of our three week Michelin tour of France! The service, food, presentation and atmosphere were outstanding. We were shocked to learn they had no stars yet, as overall they were better than all of the one and two star restaurants we visited. We changed our plans to return for a second helping the next evening!
TheForkUserThe waiting staff were superb. Very friendly and interacting with humour with us and the children. The food was delicious. Seafood platter starters , the Honfleurise seafood bisque , burgers , salads...all delicious
TheForkUserWe had a lovely time at the restaurant. The ambiance was calm and rustic. The food was quite good and the service correct. Will happily return. *Stars rating based on restaurant category and price point.
TheForkUserIt was a great experience. The decoration is nice. our table by the window has a good view of the garden and the water. The staff is very helpful in explaining the menu though they are not too fluent in English. The quality and presentation of the food are excellent, especially the two fish dish we ordered. We also enjoyed the view of sunset at the garden after dinner.
TheForkUserWonderful food, beautifully prepared and presented in a historic setting. A perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal away from the hectic waterfront.
