Chez Paulette — Restaurant in Bayeux

It took over 20 minutes to get seated even though there was empty tables around. The waiters are truly friendly and nice but extremely inefficient. We saw the staff go out for smoking breaks various times while waiting. We ordered a starter and a main each and waited almost half an hour between the two. The table next to us had everyone finish their dishes before they brought food for the last person. So, so slow.

And the food is definitely not anything slow-cooked or time consuming. Almost everything was made of numerous pre-made ingredients and not great quality.

It was raining when we arrived into Bayeux mid-week and many visitors were running about looking for tables at restaurants. We were lucky to score seating for 3. The service is delightful and the team of 2 greeted, took orders, served, cleaned, made drinks, etc for the whole restaurant. So impressive. And the environment is so...
