Gourmet products local specialties and wines Bayeux

The Bayeusains, as well as the tourists, are delighted with this pastry and confectionery shop (and tea room) founded in 1898. An institution! Run for the last twenty years by Isabelle and Pascal Doublet, Reine Mathilde has a unique cachet: high ceilings, mouldings, gilding, chandeliers and old-fashioned frescoes all combine here for the pleasure of the eyes. But the taste buds are not left out, because this Mathilde is also a cordon bleu! Macaroons, nougats, pastries and specialities. To take away or on the spot, a paradise where one succumbs to temptation.

On Wednesday morning, rue Saint-Jean is the "small market". The city's great traditional market takes place on Saturday morning, St. Patrick's Square. There are the Cochon pig fans and local specialities: fruits and vegetables, eggs, cider, calvas, jams… But also lovers of beautiful plants and flowers to repiquer, lovers of lace, patchwork and fanfreluches of all kinds and children, coming caresser a dwarf rabbit, pressed or biquette…

In their workshop on Rue de la Résistance, Jean-Marc Ledot and Olivier Devant practice the trade of saurisseur. Here, the finest fish is filleted, salted, smoked with string, and sliced by hand. The flagship of the house is the Flacky salmon pavé: a Label Rouge Scottish salmon which, once trimmed and skinned, is cooked and smoked simultaneously. A pure delight. Le Saumonier's expertise can also be enjoyed in downtown Bayeux, thanks to the opening of a new boutique on Rue Saint-Patrice.

L'Olivérade delights our taste buds. The shop is charming and tempting, with its stalls of homemade pasta, cold meats, preserves, bottles of wine (from the small "vino della casa" to the finest vintages) and olive oils from all the regions of the Botte. The grocery store also offers a fresh section with antipasti, pesto, homemade tapenades, cooked dishes, sweet treats... And as the house doubles as a restaurant, you can opt for the lunch formula in the heart of the shop or on the terrace in the summer.

Gourmets share the address to each other. Because Jacky Lefranc collects awards. Master craftsman, every year, the brotherhood of the fine Goustiers du Pré-Bocage, honours the Bayeusain butcher for his excellence. He then leaves with his arms full of national awards. Among others, we mention the pork liver pâté, traditional and creative country terrines and the honorary prize for its poultry galantine. A know-how that he has been sharing with his team for years. Come on, we're revealing a few secrets: the recipe for creative pâté, for example, made with apples, andouille and calvados. Not as simple as it may seem, because Jacky's skill and know-how is still the essential ingredient. Come on, now to the table! More time to waste to introduce your friends and guests to all these delicious delicatessen products that our dear ancestors, lovers of good food, knew how to enjoy on special occasions. And, nowadays, all opportunities are beautiful and good. And since Jacky is a caterer and can even deliver to you, you have no more excuses!

Restaurant, tea room, coffee shop, coffee roaster, delicatessen... For more than 30 years, Café Inn has been a unique address, ideal for a break in the city centre. Sweet or savoury, at any time of the day, from breakfast to afternoon tea. It's also a store where you can fill up on aromas with excellent teas, infusions and coffees. You will find your black gold in all its variations, roasted on site, in beans, ground and in capsules. A wide range of precious teas and other delicacies are also available in the middle of service items.

Beware! It is not a merchant like the others: first of all because Pierre-Henri Lemessier does not have a cellar as such and then because the spirit in which he works deserves a little attention to his case. Vinadom offers wines from independent wine growers all regions, but also champagnes and other local products. Pierre-Henri is passionate and it is this passion that he wants to share with you in dénichant products that you may never have known. Individuals, professionals, assoces or C.E. Everyone can contact him. Moreover, you can also cross Pierre-Henri on certain markets in the region, including Bayeux on Saturday morning. So, go to the site, not only will you have a more concrete idea of what it proposes, but there are plenty of information, such as the agreements and wines… except that, in this case, it is a question of giving it to the wine! Fun! Let's add to this the kindness of Pierre-Henri who thanks to Vinadom offers an excellent hyphen between the producer and the consumer.

The address moves the gourmets. David, a specialist in "chocolate-pastry-macaroons", makes us melt with pleasure. "Here it's for the chocolate freaks! And here, everything, but absolutely everything, is homemade, with specialties such as apple with calvados coated with candy sugar, chocolate from the Pays d'Auge (Tatin-style apple ganache), ice creams, verrines, fruit jellies (wrongly left out, our grandmothers' sweets come back with reassuring naturalness), spreads... We can't resist. So to your tablets! Chocolate bars, of course.

Awarded the Boulanger de France label for its artisanal work, the Capucine bakery defends 100% local food. Christophe Lepetit used to work in industrial transport, then he wanted to change his life. A successful bet! His vision of work, homemade of course, and his taste for social ties have enabled him to climb the ladder, even taking part in the show The Best Bakery on M6. And at a time when hotels are increasing the price of their breakfast, we also noticed this bakery for its complete breakfast at a reasonable price.
