Great French dinner! From the moment of the first “bonjour” we felt welcome. The staff spoke English and were so accommodating. Advice: make a reservation a day before and plan for two hours. Review the menu before hand so that you can see how it works and research items that you aren’t familiar with. They only take parties smaller than 6 or less.

For our first night in Bayeux, we had dinner reservations at La Rapière. Although we made them several months in advance, we weren't the group with the earliest made reservations that night. We arrived early but as there is only one seating, that wasn't a problem. Linda met us and called us by name.

La Rapière is down a small alley. There's even a real wine cellar.

Our 3 course meal with wine was104€ with the best dessert in France - chocolate profiterole with ice cream and salted caramel.

Put it on your list for Bayeux and reserve early. Even the locals said it was the best restaurant in Bayeux.

It was an absolute pleasure to have dinner in this restaurant. We had the menu with sea bass and chicken as main. As a starter I had the oysters which were tremendous and my girlfriend had the gazpacho. Overall it was from starter until desert a great experience with a lovely service.

A most wonderful dining experience. My husband and I enjoyed an amazing dinner at this restaurant. Service was excellent, casual yet precise. The space was intimate and warm and added to the charming old world atmosphere. The food is sublime.

There are two menus both with wonderful offerings-you can’t go wrong with either.

I had the foie gras-excellent, melts in your mouth. The bass was cooked to perfection and our wine parings were superb. We left happy and content. I highly recommend La Rapiere if you are anywhere near Bayeux. It is a dinner we will not soon forget.

*I highly recommend trying the Trou Normand, a wonderful intermission/transition between courses consisting of house made pomme sorbet and Calvados.

La Rapière was our top dining experience this trip. I made a late reservation for 9PM and we were seated on time. We had Linda, a co-owner as our server this evening. We both chose the up market menu at 52.50 euro. My wife ordered the foie gras, fillet of beef, and the creme brulee. My choice was the langoustines, sea bass and a cheese plate. The dinner also includes little included tasters along the way. Invest at least 2 hours to dine comfortably.

We had fun interacting with Linda and my wife taught her the Baltimore way to ask for rare beef. She likes it "just after the cow says "Moo" ". This translated perfectly to Linda's husband who cooked her streak to perfection. We have been to Bayeux over 10 times over the years and I'm very please to have finally dined here. Can't wait until next time!
