L'Endroit — Restaurant in Lisieux

We enjoyed an exceptional experience in this almost hidden beauty of a restaurant in Honfleur. The standout features were the chilled atmosphere created by the muted but classy decor and the charming, engaging and thoroughly professional staff, together with some of the finest meat cookery we’ve ever experienced. Tip of the day for those considering a visit is to skip breakfast and lunch, don’t bother with starters (not that there’s anything wrong with them) and pass on the (very tempting) bread; then simply dive headfirst in to the Cote de Boeuf. This stunner of a dish is served on a large wooden board with (untypically of the French) plenty of flavoursome veg, which would alone make a hearty dish but the beef, of course, is the main event and is utterly sublime. Ours was cooked to perfection with a crusty exterior full of gnarly joy and the juiciest of centres, which kept on delivering flavour chew after loving chew. I think we had a dessert but to be honest we were so blown away by the main course that I can’t recall what...

so here we are ! we did manage to get a very specific table in this restaurant VIP table . exceptional view of this ceiling and a little secret garden attach to it on the roof where we could smoke cigares . That was just a start . owner really nice and friendly big smile on is face already you want to stay. But the best is coming ! wine selection was just superbe . we have a bottle of bourgogne for the aperitif. then the slap in your face is coming , the food!!!!. so original and so well executed, i loved every bits of it . we have the cockle , so creamy and delicious. the langoustine broth raviole with so much original flavor's, stile have my mouth watering just thinking about it. then we took the lobster to share , then again lots of vegetable served with it , perfectly cooked. i want to go back . after the bourgogne we have a glass of calvados 30 years hold to finish our evening . which i have more picture to give you but i will go back to do them again . food is very simple and generous reflecting the character...

What a disappointment!

Food: average Service: awful

We started by ordering drinks. When the drinks came the server took our order for both the starter and the main course.

Some 20- 30 minutes later my starter came. At this point in time our drinks needed a refill. Nobody asked if we want a refill or something else.

The starter was at best below average but not the price of course. Nobody asked if the food was ok neither during or after. Complete disregard.

Almost an hour later comes the main course. By that time our drinks were empty and have been empty for almost one hour. Nobody asked or came by to ask if we want a refill or need anything.

When the main course finally came we had to ask the server for a refill of our drinks cause he didn’t asked anything.

For main course I had duck leg which was a bit better than the one you can buy frozen at Carrefour. Below average but with a high price of 30 euros.

All in all was not a good experience and do not recommend the restaurant.

The server had extremely...
