Jun 05, 2026"Great restaurant and very popular. We were lucky to get seats as we didn't make a reservation due to arriving quite late. Excellent menu, heavily weighted towards seafood, but fantastic nonetheless. Great service by friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Plenty of parking nearby."

May 15, 2026"Classic traditional brasserie that is not as ubiquitous in France as it once was. Great location overlooking the harbour with plenty of covered outdoor seating. Menu of simple classic dishes using fresh ingredients, seafood and especially Barfleur mussels. Well priced and efficient service in a bustling restaurant. We were especially pleased to be offered a later lunch sitting of 2pm as it is often hard to eat this late in France. Restaurants like this are why we come to France!"

Apr 08, 2026"Location is fantastic, service pretty good, it falls down slightly for me on value for money and taste of food. I ordered a mushroom and cheese omelette but lacked cheese and taste. Looked good but just a little to slimy for me. Friend ordered goats cheese salad which obviously left me wanting to swap as it looked fabulous, I chose wrong and he wouldn’t swap"

The place was packed with French people loving moules and fish. The service was phenomenal. Worth coming to France for this. Barfleur and the coast is charming."
