L'Oliverade - Bayeux

Super selection of charcuterie and also great to eat a little at lunch time with a glass of Italian wine. it is very small inside (only 3 tables), so beautiful when it is cold outside, but in summer outdoor space. Pasta dishes are freshly prepared and meats (antipasti) are all excellent. However, it is expensive for good products,

It is a charming restaurant / grocery next to the apple square in the heart of bayeux. No, the owner is not Italian, but the spirit, food and wine are certainly in the mix. There are all kinds of nice options on the menu. service is charming and food is very good. some can find it a little expensive and they would be right. parking is easy, there is always the possibility to buy takeaway products at home. their tartar is excellent, hand-cut in the purest Italian style. there is not a huge number of tables, so it is always better to book.

It is a charming little Italian grocery store that also serves food at lunch time. There are some tables with high stools inside the store and half a dozen tables outside (so not really a winter destination). The pasta is very good and my husband tried the steak tartare (steak chopped raw) here for the first time and it was really good. friendly staff.

The oliverade is a little jewel. a wonderful Italian fine grocery store - a rarity itself in provincial france, with fantastic fresh pasta and anti-pasti to take away, but also an excellent restaurant for lunch. this place is only open on the noon and has only about 10 seats inside but about 20 to 25 outside. my husband had a charolais steak tartare with tagliatelles and a green salad that, although a slightly strange combination, was exceptional. I had chicken ravioli with green salad and balsamic vinaigrette. It was a refreshing change compared to the creamy and standard Norman cuisine and I will certainly take friends to visit in a few weeks, as well as ourselves whenever we visit bayeux. the extra bonus is that because we bought food at the charcuterie, we can recreate the experience ourselves tomorrow night!

If you visit the bayeux tapestry and want a good lunch, avoid all the tourist places too expensive. there is a parking lot next to this super caviste/restaurant. We parked there and fortunately, we noticed it and decided to eat there when we returned. We had the pasta of the day and an Italian salad, both were perfect, the service and the atmosphere were perfect and the price is very reasonable. I can't believe there's no more criticism.
