Chez Buck - Barfleur

After a very disappointing meal on the port in Cherbourg we approached the restaurants in Barfleur with caution, aware that this is a touristy area and this restaurant is in a prime harbourside spot. Need not have worried. Service was super friendly - arrived late on a Saturday lunch and although all tables were full they gave us a spot in the back to look at the menu then moved us to a better table when it became free. Good choice on the menu - lots of galettes (savoury pancakes) for the kids, meat/fish and moules. Menu had English subtitles which kids liked and meant I didn't have to translate! All food was excellent - moules Normandes (with cream) really delicious after bad experience in cherbourg and frites nice and hot and crisp. Kids lived their galettes and husband enjoyed his cider cooked ham. Selection of carte d'or icecreams or sweet crepes for pud. Nice clean loo too - with that most desirable quality in France - a loo seat! Definitely one to come back to.

We visited on a rainy summers Saturday evening- we reserved in advance which was good as otherwise we might not have got a table as it was busy. We had one fixed price menu, which centred on a lovely classic galette, and some a la carte galettes and crepes, and a very tender flame grilled steak frites. All were lovely, and the crepe with strawberries and raspberries was buried in sweet whipped cream. Good service, lovely food, cosy restaurant, what's not to like? Would thoroughly recommend.

Be sure to have the sublime St. Vaast oysters. The crepes are nice. Lovely waitress. Friendly locals. Fun.

This charming little restaurant, small and perfectly placed opposite the hotel in Barfleur, cooks simple things very well. The atmosphere is delightful, the service both good and friendly. At present a really good local artist hangs work there ( all very reasonably priced) which adds to the charm. Give in to temptation and buy one!

Small restaurant on the corner of the main street in charming Barfleur. Offers gallettes and full menu; staff extremely welcoming and the whole atmosphere was one of helpfulness. The restaurant quickly filled at lunchtime - it is very popular
