Au Vrai Normand - Villers-Bocage

The good news: the food is excellent and reasonably priced. The bad news: the young wait staff seemed overwhelmed by a large birthday group next to us. Do try it if you are in the neighborhood, the waiter can only get better with experience.

Tonight we stopped at this restaurant on our way back to our B&B from the Normandy beaches. We were a little reticent at first because we were both not exactly dressed for a restaurant visit being in biker gear. We needn't have worried the staff couldn't have given us a better welcome. That welcome was just the perfect start to a very enjoyable evening. The restaurant had 3 set menus to choose from of varying prices or you could select solely from the a la carte menu which we did. The food was very tasty and well prepared plus they included typical french dishes such as magret au canard and escalope de veau normand. All in all a lovely restaurant for the weary tourist to relax in and enjoy the best France has to offer.

We stopped here for dinner en route to the ferry port at Ouistreham; we found it by surfing the web. This is not a huge restaurant but it benefits from that, plus it is largely frequented by locals; the menu choice and the prices reflect these benefits.Menu choice is good, prices are fine, service was attentive and overall this was an enjoyable dining experience that will certainly be repeated.

I am in Normandy 3/4 times a year and without fault always go Au Vrai Normande at each visit for what has consistently been excellent dining. They offer a number of menus which are very reasonably priced for the very high quality of food served. A la carte items are also available. The service is very professional! Personally I find this the best restaurant in the region.

We were travelling back from the Normandy landing area to our gite and needed to find a place to eat in the evening. The town looked pretty quiet but we stopped at a bar that did not have food, but did recommend this place. It turned out to be our best dinner in the two weeks we spent in Normandy. My wife and I both had the veal normandy which was served with wonderful mashed potatoes and a very flavourful sauce. It is a small intimate restaurant and appeared to be less formal than another place across the street. It proved to be a great find and we highly recommend it.
