The best bars and cafés Normandy

Our landmark address! Everything is gourmet in this stylish and refined tearoom. Nathalie and François offer a delightful menu, ideal from breakfast to snack time. We succumb to the house specialties, such as the apple puff pastry (Pont-l'Évêque, honey, browned potatoes, Serrano ham, and salad) or the crispy pastries. Nice selection of teas and coffees, unless you prefer an old-fashioned hot chocolate to accompany your sweets.

The Délirium Café welcomes its customers at the foot of the Gros-Horloge... It couldn't be more central! The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for a drink with friends. With its patinated decor, the place will appeal to beer lovers: the house offers a selection of Belgian and craft beers. You'll find great classics like the one that gives the establishment its name, craft beers, both draught and bottled, as well as others with fruity and floral flavours, cocktails, shooters... there's something for everyone.

La Fée Torchette is one of the city's emblematic bars. Behind this poetic name hides a mecca of Rouen's nightlife. In a small room, the "fée-tardards" crowd at the counter to order all sorts of cocktails, since they are the ones who make the place famous! Another particularity: its nectars are made on demand, according to your tastes! And all this in a warm, but also festive atmosphere with the presence of a DJ from Thursday to Saturday. A simple, good-natured and well-placed address. Very popular!

Close to the François Truffaut metro station, friendly owner Nathalie and her team welcome you to their newly enlarged and renovated establishment. It's a popular meeting place for turf enthusiasts, a place to live and meet people, a must in the neighborhood, its lungs of conviviality. You'll be seated around a table in comfortable armchairs or on benches, unless you prefer to get some fresh air on the small terrace. At the long counter, you'll order a selection of classic draught beers.

After the success of the Hydropathe, Jenny and Greg Dupin launched the adventure of the food bar. It's been three years since Balthazar (the name given to a bottle that can hold up to 12 liters!) was born and it's still great. In addition to aperitifs and tastings of vintages, you can also fill that little hole in your stomach from breakfast to dinner with fresh recipes in a modern and vegetal atmosphere. And what can we say about this terrace if not: we can't wait for the nice days to enjoy it!

Fans will know which series the Social Perk refers to... Friends, of course, the cult American series of the 1990s and its famous Central Perk café! At the foot of the cathedral, the place takes the concept of the New York café and is inspired by it: brick walls, soft armchairs and a relaxed atmosphere, a wide choice of coffees, teas and chocolates in S, M, L and XL cups, with toppings and toppings of all kinds, but also smoothies, fresh and vitamin-rich cocktails, without forgetting bagels and donuts! The plus? The terrace!

A mad bet from the steering Committee of St Ouen d'Attez, a small village south of Breteils-sur-Iton: transform the village school, closed for about years, into a small, friendly and friendly concert hall. For the last 9 years, the P'tit Bar of the Town hall offers a high-quality French and Jazz programming, with a concert per month, welcoming artists that you usually see only in Parisian rooms or summer festivals, and has always loyal a passionate audience or simply curious ears with ears eager for discovery. The Modulates Bar also organizes a family games evening (game, strategy, address, etc.) on the first Saturday of each month, and a festival in June, the Estivales Bar Summer. Who said that there was no quality cultural offer in the campaign? Programming to discover on the website, reservation strongly recommended.

In the charming Rue Eau-de-Robec, the Buvette du Robec is a cheerful, original and colourful place, where the welcome is warm and where one likes to meet, alone or with friends. It is an incredible eclectic and vintage bric-a-brac that gathers objects that have become cult of the bistros of the past, stamped Suze or Picon, in a furniture that oscillates between kitsch brocante and art gallery. And you will always have a new surprise to admire in the window... On sunny days, take advantage of the terrace and the calm of the neighbourhood.

Pierre-Jean, the young owner of this games bar, welcomes enthusiasts, novices, families... anyone who wants to have a good time playing a game. All smiles and jokes, he'll help you find the game (card, board or strategy) that suits your fancy, before introducing you to it. During the game, you can enjoy croque-monsieur, pasta or aperitif platters, and even vegan dishes! Otherwise, opt for a beer, cocktail or rhum arrangé. Fans will be delighted to take part in tournaments and themed evenings.

Always packed to the rafters, yet tucked away from the "thirsty streets", this Saint-Sauveur corner is starting to get a little more lively. With its super-friendly, relaxed atmosphere, trendy without being stuffy, it's a pleasure to settle in for a well-deserved afterwork. In the afternoon, the terrace is bathed in sunshine (Normandy has a reputation to uphold!). Upstairs, large wooden tables and mismatched chairs, or sofas and armchairs for those who prefer to lounge. At the bar, you'll find a fine selection of draught beers, cocktails, spirits and tasty snacks!

In the narrow, pedestrian Rue des Fossés, well known to night owls, lies this reggae, ragga and hip-hop-oriented venue, frequented by a clientele of regulars, many of them young! Atmosphere guaranteed, with tropical rums and beers at the heart of a well-thought-out, highly professional offering. The music is in tune with the atmosphere, and the place often hosts great painting exhibitions. There's no denying that this establishment has become one of Cherbourg's must-visit nightspots in just a few years!

Beautiful green and violet colours, a trendy decoration. The reference shop for tea lovers. Theodor" tea of course! They come from India, China, Nepal, Ceylon... They are green, black, white... You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to flavour. An ice cream menu in summer, freshly squeezed fruit juices, all accompanied by homemade pastries, you will have a good time. For the restaurant part, a slate which changes every day, according to the market: with the choice, omelettes, pies and a dish of the day.

More of a snack than a restaurant, the place offers hot or cold sandwiches, salads, croques, for modest prices. Most of the products are fresh and when they are frozen (which is the case for a very small part), we tell you: something rare enough to be noticed! In addition to the low prices, the welcome is energetic and efficient. And what a pleasure to have lunch on the terrace, in this car-free zone, enjoying the view of the city! Conclusion: a good plan, efficient, cheap and which will give you full satisfaction.

Come and have a drink here as if you were among friends: a warm, smiling welcome is our philosophy. The establishment has become a rallying point for the residents of Rue Cauchoise. There's a lot to like here: the socialising, the DJ performances and the sunny terrace in summer. The drinks are top quality, and the cocktails are made to order. Generosity is the order of the day: for every bottle of wine purchased, a tasting board is offered. Close to the Old Market, you'll find a place to meet and mingle.

Whether you come to eat or drink, you'll find a friendly atmosphere at Mad Cats at all hours! Since Élizabeth Yvon and her daughter Alexandra took over the reins of the former Mac Leod, the emphasis is on quality products. The pub buys directly from small producers in the area in a logic of eco-responsible consumption. On the menu: pepper burger, chicken and curry sauce, home-made tenders, Norman croque... Not forgetting the roast camembert, which is a big hit with the most demanding gourmets!

Stop in front of the window, enter and then rest for the treats of the house Reynald! For years, this confectionery-chocolate, located in the heart of Vernon's city centre, treats small and large gourmets. Quality and know-how of pastries and chocolates, creativity of achievements, windows that give water to the mouth, and a tea lounge where, at any time, you find the same virtuosity and kindness, for breakfast, a quick lunch formula with different styles of omelettes (cheese, lard, paysane...), or a gourmet snack where pastries and macaroons are offered. A more than deserved reputation thanks to the choice of noble products and the wide range of pastries and chocolates, diversified according to the seasons!

Just a stone's throw from the Bec-Hellouin Abbey, this charming tea room and its store offer visitors a wide selection of artisanal products, such as Patrice Chapon chocolates, organic herbal teas, local sweets, handmade hot water bottles, and old-fashioned cookies. The store also specialises in world coffees and homemade hot chocolates, to be enjoyed either on-site after a visit to the abbey, for example, or to take home as a souvenir of Bec-Hellouin. A perfect independent store to treat yourself!

This crazy bar in the city centre is a hit with the youth of Rouen. The watchwords here are: alcohol, music and great fun! On stage, you'll be able to hear everything: funk, soul, hip-hop, electro, Russian songs, gypsy or Cape Verdean jazz... there's something for everyone. On the drinks side, original cocktails based on vodka, gin or rum, beers, and for a small (or big) hunger, boards are proposed, with cold cuts, sausages or salad, all at very reasonable prices.

This nice place is located in the heart of the small village of Tirepied, and is the main place of animation. The conviviality is there, and Jack and Co propose to come and have a drink (or several, but with moderation!) in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Here, the concerts follow one another, with a lot of local bands with a predominance for rock. You can also enjoy one of the small dishes offered by the house, or by going to the truck often parked in the parking lot for excellent burgers!

A nice little bistro, where you are warm in winter (the main street of Coutances, on the hill, is rather windy), and which has a nice terrace overlooking this busy street in summer. A nice choice of beers, a warm and wooded interior (you will find a decoration that will allow you to understand the name of the place) where you will find many small round tables, it is the ideal place for a small stopover. The regulars are the most numerous, so you will be here real Coutançais!

Paulette's is on the move! Olivia and Greg (the managers of neighboring Le Comptoir) are now in charge of our Tata Chombier, so you might as well know that things are about to get a lot busier while retaining the soul that makes it so charming. Another house staple: the "chouteur". No fewer than thirty variations, each with a more evocative name than the last. Add to this a well-crafted selection of wines, draught beers and a regularly-changing beer of the moment, inventive cocktails (no hot drinks here)... This Paulette deserves more than a detour!

If you're a fan of Italian cuisine and pastries, you'll love this charming caffé in Place Saint-Barthélémy. Enjoy homemade specialties for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner or brunch on weekends. You'll be transported to the other side of the Alps. In fine weather, enjoy one of the city's finest terraces, at the foot of Saint-Maclou church, untilaperitivo and beyond, sipping spritz and dipping into one of the gourmet platters on offer.

Steampunk atmosphere for this brand new bar specialized in cocktails! The Machinist takes you into an ultra original universe. Kévin and Robin have chosen a very immersive Jules Verne-like decor (the kraken of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is not far!). Under the lantern fish, you can sip homemade cocktails with or without alcohol, made with ingredients produced on the spot. The menu is frequently renewed, no time to get bored! All this while nibbling on a small appetizer board and learning about role playing games, great!

As its name suggests, the Petit Bar isn't very big! The place has a look and atmosphere all its own. Furnishings and carefully-crafted objects transport you back to the 1920s, while your taste buds savor sweet concoctions inspired by rare recipes from those mythical party years. You'll also have a choice of atypical wines, beers, gins and bourbons, to be enjoyed around the counter, in pretty comfortable armchairs or in the corner of an alcove. We also offer themed musical evenings.

Created by Pierre-Cyrille Acquier, "La Verrière" is a cocktail bar and tea room. Under the glass roof of the sumptuous Palais Bénédictine, sit on one of the benches surrounding a central island, itself topped by a golden chandelier. The place, whose raison d'être is the famous liqueur, invites you to a unique gustatory experience of cocktails and drinks based on Bénédictine, to be accompanied by delicacies or an aperitif board. We like the Bénédictine Café with whipped cream, a little strong but delicious! A must-try!

Looking for a beautiful brunette, a light blonde or a full-bodied redhead? The pleasure of a foam bath with a touch of lightness? Don't be fooled by this introduction. The Belgian-flavored tavern in Le Havre had the excellent idea of crossing the Seine and rolling its barrels to the Quai Vendeuvre. From draught pints to bottled beers, Belgium offers the very best! Duvel, Chimay, Saint-Idesbald, Saint-Bernardus, Mont des Cats... The monks made no mistake! Bless them all... In moderation!

A must-visit bar-club in Caen for many years! Push open the first door (a little austere and guarded by a cerberus) to enter a muy caliente universe. This place has a soul, and when the customers start dancing, the atmosphere is guaranteed! Of course, this is a rum paradise: more than twenty of them, including some great references... A must for connoisseurs! Renowned DJs are often on the decks; don't miss the evenings announced on Che Guevara's social networks, and don't forget to book by phone!

A true Rouen institution on the quayside, the Comptoir des Pirates is decorated in the style of an authentic pirate ship, with its cockpit and masts topped by skeletons... And as it should be in the land of pirates, the Comptoir has preserved its original objective: to make discover the best rums of the world to the amateurs of the kind. If that's not your cup of tea, you can fall back on the cocktails, beers and whiskies. Check out the Facebook page to keep up to date with the concerts and parties planned.

At the Green Parrot, there is no time for chatter. And even less so for snacks that tickle the stomach, whether you are in the morning or in the evening, at lunchtime or in the afternoon. It is one of the must-see places in the Norman port! Warm atmosphere, cosy decor for a refreshing breakfast around a bacon egg or a jazzy brunch (no less than 8 formulas available). Do you prefer oysters and beef tartare? That doesn't matter. Aperitif plates, beers (a very wide choice with no less than 60 varieties, it is their specialty) and other cocktails give colour to even the greyest person at the chosen time. There is no time for the timid and even less time to land there, looking at the boats of the Honfleur basin and the colours of the most pampered and romantic Norman ports. Are you plugged in? Yes, but warmly, uninhibitedly and at a reasonable price, all in all, from the brewery to the cocktail bar.

Welcome to Muriel and Laure's home, managers of this pretty house and enchanted parenthesis on 3 floors, ideal for a gourmet break. When the weather is fine, head for the terrace, with a view of their pretty facade with shutters decorated according to the seasons and their eccentric ideas. Here, fresh products, sweet of course but also savory with a proposal at lunchtime of pies, vegetarian plates, salads... On the sweet side, cupcakes, crumbles, pies, cheesecakes... are served at any time! With a hot chocolate, a tea or a milkshake, it's perfect!

It must be known that the wine cellar is a tea salon, a place where you have to drink this British drink and not a place as we would like to think with this name where wine is eaten. Here you can find sweet or savoury pancakes, compound salads, and especially cakes and pastries. We're still in a tea room. The card may seem limited but it is in fact sufficient.

You'd think you were in Dublin! Beautiful terrace with barrels as tables, four-leaf clover-colored facade, music and beer galore, giant screens for the matches, a must! Fred and his sidekick Kévin do a damn good job. The warm decor pays homage to Irish pubs. Order a mousse accompanied by a few delicacies or a homemade "embu". We've fallen for the Irish coffee, the real thing from Prohibition. Ask Fred to tell you the story, you won't believe it.

Over the months, the place has been able to impose itself as one of the reference bars. Clients flirts with 30 years, but younger people also have their place. A very friendly atmosphere in this bar of the pedestrian streets, where there is a restaurant lunch, salads and various dishes. Theme and musical evenings.

Here, it smells wide and marine adventures. The late COACH Paul Vatine - the late Retour - is the sailor and the sailor. In front of the marina, come and take a drink on the charts. In a wooden setting where some parrots dominate, you may hear Charlotte and Philippe tell their last trip, unless one looks passionately at the recent exploits of a browser, it is Stan Maslard who is in honour, or the local swimmer Hugues Duboscq. Terrace in season.

A Caen institution since 1952. It's a chic meeting place for many Caennais, especially now that the Royal has opened a new chapter after major renovations. A well-deserved rejuvenation facing the superb Place de la République. For lunch, treat yourself to a few well-executed and rather tasty dishes, and at snack time, why not try a little crêpe to help you recover from your afternoon shopping? The service is lively and energetic, which we like!

Rue Saint-Sauveur is definitely brimming with good places to relax and enjoy a break. For over ten years now, l'Atelier has been the place to be when it comes to cool attitude. Ideally located, you'll feel right at home. The terrace is one of the best places to sip a coffee on Friday mornings at the end of the market. We also like the warm welcome and cool atmosphere of a buddy bar. Mind you, it gets crowded very quickly, which is the price of fame... Among the must-tries: wines, rums and aperitif platters... All good stuff!

Take the helm and cast off! A counter in the shape of a ship's bow with ropes: hold on to the ends if you feel like you're pitching! The Bar du Port transports you to a marine world in the heart of a pub-style establishment. The wood blends with the exposed stone walls... The rounded red benches ensure comfort and intimacy in this setting where you can enjoy a hot drink in winter or an aperitif as the evening approaches... In summer, you can enjoy the sunny deck of the ship! A nice place.

L'Eldorado is an innovative bar that brews its own beer, in a choice of blond, white or brown. The establishment offers a wide range of beers from all over the world, as well as numerous whiskies. It also has its own microbrewery. A must for all beer lovers. Last but not least, the place has billiards tables, which stretch along the vast bay window, and is very popular with the young people of Cherbourg. The atmosphere is lively, especially at weekends: not to be missed!

If the name is reminiscent of a famous film, the interior is quite different, except for a few subtle reminders. There's no cauldron here, just a vast choice of beers and drinks created on the premises - starting with some excellent arranged rums - in a very urban atmosphere, with warm red bricks and wood, right in the heart of downtown Cotentin. It's a lively, friendly place, and we heartily recommend a visit, preferably with friends!

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!

With its Anglo-Saxon industrial look and cosy armchairs, Columbus Café & Co offers hot and cold drinks (coffees, teas and chocolate shakes, smoothies), bagels and muffins in Rouen's pedestrian centre. The bay window and terrace let you enjoy the atmosphere of the charming rue de la Champmeslé. Freelancers and auto-entrepreneurs will find it a haven where they can work all day, thanks to free wifi and sockets for recharging electronic devices. Plus: the franchise's commitment to sustainable development.

Right in front of the church, Walk The six has left the place at a bar-brasserie. The original and tasty patties could be tasted here if the change was also successful. In a city that cruelly misses the place to get out of friends and to drink a drink (with moderation, of course!) in the evening, a little renewal can do only the good, and it is not the pub next to complaining that it will not have a new competitor, but an ally to make Yvetot by night! The summer terrace is filled, but don't hesitate to go inside. The rooms have kept all their charm, and the walls of stone and half-timbered are always there to guarantee a convivial framework to the most animated of the evenings as to the most romantic… From the Tuesday to Saturday and the evening from Thursday to Saturday, a brasserie service can be restored: toast and salads are there to satisfy the hungry, in a place that wins to be known.

Many cultural events in this bar in the Eure district, which is also intended to be more precisely a coffee-show. Concerts, theme nights, student celebrations, fairs, theatre… A place to live the city.

At Sparkle, the gloom stays at the door, making way for good humour! Sisters Tessa and Alyssa had the bright idea of taking over the WarpZone and turning it into a sparkling, colourful place! The concept: themed bar with consoles, board games and lots of evening entertainment (St. Patrick's Day was well worth the detour!). What we really like is the pop culture spirit, even in the names of the (good!) cocktails. A choice of burgers and snacks to top it all off, so you can recharge your batteries and excel at the latest games. To your controllers!

A super-typical address set apart from the rest, it's party time every day at Catherine's! Catherine is the first name of Adrien's mom, the young owner of this popular spot, perfect for an after-work aperitif! To share... or not (!) you're in for a treat! For those with a sweet tooth, there's even prime rib! And we love the old-fashioned yet so charming and cosy decor (doilies, lamps with Mamie's frills), as if we were there! And this terrace under the trees overlooking the statue of Duguesclin... just perfect this Catoche!

A "bar that generates passion, pressure and conviviality" is the concept of the place created by three fellow travellers after their European crossing. It's a fun, friendly and offbeat experience. You take a drink, place your card in front of one of the pumps set up on the tables, and act as a bartender: you serve yourself, according to your desires and the people you meet. All in an electro-pop atmosphere, to the rhythms of concerts and apéro-mixes, as well as exhibitions and sports matches broadcast on the big screen. Give it a try!
