Bib Gourmand€€Modern Cuisine
This restaurant just behind the cathedral is known for its market-fresh cuisine that is full of flavour, flawlessly prepared and delivers on its promises. Examples include house-made ravioli with ricotta, spinach and mandarin beurre blanc; cacio e pepe-style celeriac "tagliatelle" with pecorino espuma and breaded egg. Ever popular, not least thanks to its eater-friendly prices.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.8/5 · 80 reviews
Located in Bayeux, L'Alcove specializes in modern cuisine, holding an average rating of 4.8/5 from 80 reviews. Guests frequently praise the high food quality, attentive service, and cozy atmosphere, noting beautifully presented dishes with Michelin-star quality. Some diners appreciated bold creations like camembert ice cream. However, negative feedback highlights a restricted menu with only three main course options and small portions. Issues with meal pacing occasionally resulted in lukewarm food, and undisclosed extra charges for items like ravioli were noted. While generally highly recommended, visitors should expect a limited selection and potential service inconsistencies.
Suitable for diners seeking refined modern French cuisine who accept a limited menu.

On the corner of Rue Saint Laurent and Rue des Bouchers, Luc Catherine in the kitchen and Stéphanie Amy in the dining room have brilliantly preserved the soul of this establishment, following a warm, fashionable makeover featuring bare stones and beams. Top-notch ingredients, indulgent, nostalgic recipes and artful plating are the name of the game: gazpacho of green peas with an organic poached egg; smoked pork cutlet with saté-laced risotto of noodles and a cheesecake version of Breton shortbread. Slick service and sensible prices: what’s not to like?
Bib Gourmand€€Traditional Cuisine
This restaurant in a 15C building, tucked away in a picturesque side street, is the lair of a cheerful couple, Simon and Linda Boudet. He crafts flavoursome seasonal nosh that celebrates Gallic culinary traditions. Good country cooking with the odd more contemporary touch: salmon gravlax, dill, beetroot and wasabi; chicken breast, roast apricot, polenta fries and rosemary-flavoured poultry gravy. The 100% homemade profiterole is an exquisite blend of fluffy and crunchy – to die for!
