The best wine bars Normandy

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.

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.

Toast, dine, share. The motto, inscribed on the walls and networks of the establishment, is scrupulously applied. To toast, choose from sparkling Italian wines, white Spanish wines, or vintages closer to home, such as Utopie, an organic Loire wine, or a few other finds to charm the palate. For dinner, let yourself be inspired by the Mediterranean: tomato salads, asparagus a la plancha, or Moroccan brochettes. To share, sit comfortably by the counter or on the small, quiet terrace.

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!

Almost twenty years ago, the former first-aid post on Agon-Coutainville beach was transformed into a bar-pub with a contemporary decor. Enjoy a good glass of wine, accompanied, why not, by a few tapas of codfish accras and fried chorizo. The wine, in fact: the place is also known as a good wine bar, which, in addition to the advice given on the spot, allows you to taste some very good bottles. All of which can be enjoyed on one of the three terraces overlooking the sea.

In the heart of the pedestrian streets, just a few steps from the Volcan, you'll find this superb wine and cocktail bar. Here, the wine literally flows, thanks to the winemakers' wine fountains. If you don't know which grape variety to choose, ask the team members, for whom oenology is a real passion, for advice. Classic or original, the cocktails promise a relaxing evening with friends. To accompany all this, let yourself be surprised by the delicious sweet and savoury tapas. And don't forget the terrace in summer!

It's a concept not to be missed if you come to Bellême: the bistro, decorated with multiple racks, lends a warm atmosphere to the whole, not to mention the carefully aligned bottles that decorate the top of the bar. Here, you can eat and drink in a great atmosphere: charcuterie, tapas or a tastefully prepared dish of the day, all washed down with a wide choice of wines. All in all, you'll have a great time here, with smiling service.

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?
