We had a fantastic meal here while holidaying in the region. The staff were very friendly, and accommodated our rather chaotic arrival (evening parking in Houlgate isn't fun) as well as access needs (we were one of two parties with a family member in a wheelchair). Their accessible entrance was stepless, although I think it would have been a struggle to get a wheelchair into the toilets. The seating is tiered so that if you're further from the sea, you can see out over the other diners, and with a long mirror mounted along the back wall, even those with their back tk the sea got a sea view, which was fantastic.

Thank you to all that staff at L’Arbre A Pin for a lovely evening. We...
