The best wine bars Calvados

A long room with a warm atmosphere, stone walls and exposed beams, a bar that runs the length of the room, and a covered and heated terrace in winter, flooded with sunshine in summer: this Hydropathe is a delight! One comes here to drink a good glass of wine for all tastes and for all budgets. In addition, there are cocktails, rums and whiskies... Enough to turn heads! Fortunately, you can also enjoy tapas and platters, everything is fresh and tasty. Go there quickly, but not too late, places are expensive!

A real treat! Les Docks is both a cosy wine cellar and a delightful tapas bar, where you can also grab a bite to eat at lunchtime. The place is small, friendly, original and a stone's throw from the beach. Romain, a globetrotter and former chef at some of the world's top hotels, notably in Polynesia, provides a colourful welcome. Feeling peckish after a swim? You'll love the tapas. Depending on what's available and the chef's mood! A recommended place for a drink, a sip of rhum arrangé, whose jars decorate the window, and a nibble with friends.

An address not to be missed, located in the historical and trendy Vaugueux district. On the program of the Gavroche: tapas, pizzas to share, wines, vintage wines, cocktails... A menu prepared in-house with fresh products. Italian inspiration, but also seafood or salmon gravlax, for this bar of friends where the atmosphere is assured. Without forgetting the decoration, from the flowery vintage to the retro on the floor. Romuald and Justin, two lovers of good food, are at the helm and they prove it once again!

In the heart of Cabourg, this trendy and original musical wine bar doubles as a delicatessen and cellar. You'll find a wide selection of wines (by the glass or bottle), rare Trappist beers, a collection of 80 Scotch, Japanese and Taiwanese whiskies, artisanal juices and non-alcoholic cocktails. All of this, accompanied by land, sea or vegan platters. And a 1950s-style decor, with school chairs, duck-blue walls and a steel mezzanine... Carpe diem and epicurean? That's Carpedien! A fine programme, isn't it?
