It was a little difficult to find. It's not on the "port road" next to the water, but one street behind. Great food. We were the only English-speakers in the place - a good sign when locals go there!

How can this noted Port-side restaurant serve langoustine, sole and turbot ALL so poorly! Evidently refrigerated too long and removed for cooking at the last minute: result was tasteless, mushy and barely edible â we paid and left before finishing our meal. Shame on your Chef! Richard Slater.

We sat at the window table of the upper floor overlooking the harbour and all chose the menu fleur de sel, that for less than 20 euro provided a perfect dinner of appetizer, main course and dessert with significant variety of choice. The seafood was generally exquisite but some specialities like the trio of tomato or the mousse of shrimps, avocado and tomato were exceptionally creative and well executed. The dessert were equally good.

We have just had a very relaxed lunch in this restaurant. It has the typical atmosphere of a restaurant attached to a hotel in France, with clean modern lines. The sea food was excellent and priced fairly. The staff were very friendly, we would return.

le vauban, one of the longest established restaurants in Port en Bessin,the vauban is hidden away in a small side street just a stone' throw from the harbour and fish market.seafood specialities abound in the two small and cosy dining rooms. daily inspira
I had great expectations as this was a recommendation from some locals. Best dishes were pork with cider sauce, skate wings, prawns and sea snails, creme brûlée. Goats cheese and tomatoes tartlet like a flan, fish terrine too dry, monkfish over cooked and smothered in thick over-baconed sauce. Vegetable and quenelles of potato grossly under seasoned, the latter dry. Wine chosen 24⬠- had price on a bottle in the centre of the table - a tacky promotion. Pleasant front area but not so good back room - make sure you are in the front area. Not offered water but bread excellent. Most people were having mussels and frites.

We ordered two different pizzas (Vauban Pizza and the Marina Pizza)---both were very tasty, with nice thin crusts--served fairly quickly. We were both quite surprised with the great selection of seafood on the Marina Pizza. We stopped in for a late lunch, as it is difficult to find many places in town that are open in the mid-afternoon---we could not have been more pleased. The dessert crepes looked scrumptious that we observed being served to other tables---had it been dinner, we would have tried to do both--as it was, we took leftovers back to our room. Our server was very pleasant. Check out my photos for more details.

Staying near the town we went in for dinner, normally a restaurant on a boat is a tourist trap with food to match but this was excellent food at a very reasonable price and cudos to the young chef who prepared it in a relatively small open kitchen. Apart from us all the rest of the full restaurant were French, and English was a little limited but the staff were very helpful and cooperativeThe whelks, which were something new to us were amazingly good, sea snail sounds a bit daunting to many but beautiful sweet meat and the oysters were also fantastic and fresh. Some of the best scallops I have ever eaten, huge and tasty- preparation wasnât overdone but with such good food you donât need to overwork it. Wine list is small but more than adequate. The kids food was also great, well cooked fish, not fried thankfully for a change and my son loved the young dog that was on the front of the boat- not allowed in the restaurant if that bothered people. The complementary glass of calvados was just a bonus to a very nice meal - donât miss the scallops. Credit cards were taken without any issue.

My wife and I went here with my mother in law and brother in law for dinner. No reservation required. Being a fishing village we all had seafood. In short-amazing! From mussels, to periwinkles, shrimp,escargot, crawfish, langostinos.....never had anything like it. The Camembert sauce for the mussels was heavenly. 2 bottles of wine and fantastic service. All for less than 140 euros. Canât praise it highly enough. Absolutely recommend.

Had a great meal. The best on our 6wk trip around France.All dishes were superb.For us, they achieved that rare thing in so many upmarket French restaurants, informality & professionalism. Allowing us to practice our poor French speaking !Sent an email to book. All good. Definitely worth a detour.PartDear gmbklm,Thank you so much for taking the time to post a review on Tripadvisor, We will forward it to our Chef who will be delighted to hear that it was your best meal after touring France for 6 weeks, it will make his day! we hope to welcome you again and next time do not hesitate to try our bistro restaurant "Le petit jardin" located in the converted orangerie.

This restaurant is on the main road, but please donât let that fact put you off from eating here.The food is delicious. Beautifully presented, exquisite taste, and certainly worth every euro spent. The Oysters, and whelks were just divine; the desserts were heavenly and all served with smiles.We went twice in 4 days, and it was packed, with local French, which is always a good sign. You must book otherwise you will not get a table.We will certainly return.
