L Estran — Restaurant in Bayeux

Quel HORRIBLE. We took a group of 35 international students to this restaurant on our trip to Normandy. They took advantage of our group’s money and served us pre-made chicken cordon bleu that was highly processed and PLAIN pasta - no sauce, a bowl of cheese that we had to ask for, and a bottle of ketchup and mayonnaise. Many of our patrons were disgusted and ended up walking to another restaurant to eat. They served us utter garbage and it set a poor tone for our two full days in Normandy. What a way to be introduced to this city. Thankfully we had a fantastic meal at another restaurant the second night where we got a beautiful chicken, salad, frites, and chocolate lava cake - judging by what we got from L’Estran we are SURE they are just having a hay day with the profits from the...

The restaurant did their best to feed all of us at once. The quality varied greatly across our group - I had good fish, someone else's was tough, my fries were cold, others weren't. It's hard to feed a large group - and beware at lunch that these folks do feed tour group buses. I don't envy taking that job on - it's tough and it's really tough to do well. But overall, I would try going back during an evening to see if...
