Les terrasses de la mer

Well, for once we didn't read the TA reviews before choosing to eat here and I am pleased. There's obviously a lot of competion in Courseulles so I'm guessing if you're not top quality the business will not survive in low season. We were wandering around on a Sunday evening and were attracted to the place as we could sit outside in the sun with a nice glass of wine while selecting from the menu, in the end we both went for price fixe menus of 18 and 23 euros and were left to enjoy our drink at leisure before being shown to a great table which felt really intimate. The starters were heavenly, madame had 9 enormous oysters, and I had a fruits de mere, it was so fresh and perfect with a bottle...

I think we got lucky (judging by some of the reviews on tripadvisor) but we did have a good lunch here. Oysters were really good. Mussels were good as well. Tarte au Fraises was a little disappointing.The restaurant looks quite nice and we had a relaxed lunch, but indeed the service wasn't that great. Unfriendly staff, sometimes you were invisible and sometimes they were too hasty in clearing your table. It felt as if they didn't have a lot of patience with tourists....maybe they should take into consideration that tourists are their livelihood and thus need to be treated with a little more cordiality!

Worse meal ever. The food was over cooked. They didn't keep the sitting order or the orders taken. We waited for our meal so long we forgot what we order. The mussels were brown and very little we had to ask for additional portion witch came after 1 hour correct one hour and after we requested it 4 times. The bill was charged with more items than what we had ordered. The place was so dirty that I was very sorry that we picked that place for dinner.

I have nothing positive to say about this restaurant. They did not have an English menu. Not a bad thing on its own, but this is a massive tourist town being one of the D-day beaches and almost every other restaurant did cater for non-French speakers. The food was average at best and the service non existent once they had delivered our meals. You will be much better off going to any other place in this gorgeous little town.

My wife and I had dinner there and we loved everything they served us in the fixed price menu. Fish of the day Washington absolutely delicious.
