La Cabane du Vivier — Restaurant in Caen

Unfortunately they don’t allow walk-ins at all! The lady only said if you don’t have a reservation, you have to leave. They don’t even TRY to offer a possibility if you didn’t reserve months in advance (the bar was free). Very disappointing. So don’t even try to go there or reserve a few days in advance.

I would love to shop there as they also have a nice variety of food specials and fresh fish in their shop. Definitely need to go there next time...
