Now, here we are back, all only a month has passed away and we just couldn't stay away* we fell in love with this charming place and had to return to him 's beauty and peaceful rest. This time we experienced a dusting of light rain, a warm sunshine and the morning pig. the river had flowed over the week before, so it was like hearing the glowing rapids right in front of our house door. johnny and lynn welcomed us again and this time we had to meet their two beautiful horses; they even let us feed a baguette that was the billing. every night we enjoyed a warm fire in the did we had every morning. this time we worked around the nearby town le beny bocage and enjoyed what the landscape had to o...
We visit between five or six times a year as we only live around 20 miles distant when in Calvados. This restaurant is small, rustic and typically old style and charming, always with excellent service. We usually have one of the set courses and particular...favourites are the fish soup and guinea fowl. I don't remember any menu choices we haven't had so would be confident that most visitors would be satisfied with the fare. A fairly recent addition is an excellent disabled toilet but please note that wheelchairs need to be left outside, but only a very short walk away.
We ate at the Chapeau Rouge on Bastille Day whilst staying at a nearby chambre d’hôte. This restaurant is located south of St Lô, just off the A84 between Avrances and Caen. Despite its outside rustic appearance this is an elegant restaurant and the quality...of the food was outstanding. The €26.50 four course menu was excellent value with a good choice of starters and main courses (including guinea fowl). There is an extensive wine list with a very reasonable house wine at €12. Service was friendly and efficient
4 of us had lunch on 31 December. the experience was terrible. the crêpes were hardly to eat: clearly not homemade, but processed, tasteless foods that were just warmed up in a microshaft. it took three applications to have water for our two children. who were really thirsty. our younger (age 7) took some time to order his meal so that the waitress went and did not come back 10 long minutes ago. no smile or any kind of inviting word. really a shame.

We had a wonderful meal in this attractive, traditional country restaurant. The snails, guinea fowl in cream sauce, and chocolate mouse were beautifully prepared and served. Prices were neither budget, nor expensive, but very reasonable for the quality. (NB: I noted below that the restaurant...is wheelchair accessible because they are currently in the process of building a ramp.
we had last eaten here in 2010 and were impressed by the food. to find another one again, we decided to visit another. same nice welcome. same people run it. the same beautiful ambiente and exactly the same menu as last time. I guess if it's not broken, it's not repairing. will be coming back. eight years?
Cozy place with good food set in a typically French setting. The staff explain the menu in English if desired. The guinea fowl was excellent in its cider sauce and the assiette de charcuterie was delightful.
Fantastic service, great food, reasonably priced wines. We had beef and snails and liver to die for. A wonderful country restaurant that can't be beat. One of our best meals in France.

The restaurant is very nice and the service was good and polite. The food was good. Some dishes were excellent like the Foie gras. Nice place to have dinner or lunch.
One of the best meals we have ever had in France (5th visit). Friendly people and superb service! If you are in the Normandy area, don't miss this restaurant!
