Several of the hotels offer great food and most eateries are found along the rue St Jean. Here are a few to try:

Les Arcades on the rue Latière, offers sumptuous meat and fish dishes, which are also reasonably priced.

Le Petit Normand on the rue Larcher is set in a 16th century house and offers mouthwatering traditional cooking, seafood and plenty of local cider.

La Table du Terroir on rue St Jean is for the meat lovers. Set behind the butchers shop, this serves a whole selection of sumptuous steaks and specialities.

La Baromètre is a beautiful restaurant within the Chateau de Goville, situated in Le-Breuil-en-Bessin, 11km west of Bayeux. Although more expensive than most, this restaurant would undoubtedly delight who try it.
