Restaurant offering small dishes with homemade sauce located in Caen.
Since autumn 2024, Mario, a dynamic baroudeur, has been at the helm of this Caen temple of well-kept dwiche. The formula hasn't changed! The same gourmet street food that tickles our taste buds. There's been no revolution, but we're delighted with the changes. The young man has enlarged the space a little and now offers Falabek in homage to his Lebanese origins. There's even a children's menu to introduce youngsters to the real thing. In short, the same DNA but a new lease of life for Babek!

Message from Management
Babek is the place to go for a gourmet break in Caen. Located right in the centre of town, this sandwich shop offers a warm and friendly welcome. It serves tasty food made with quality produce: seasonal vegetables, home-made marinated meats and flavourful sauces. One of the specialities is "Babek", a spice-marinated poultry kebab with PDO feta, fresh herbs and homemade sauce, served on sourdough bread. You can also try the "BFC (Bacon Fried Cheddar)", the "Halloumi Lover" for grilled cheese lovers, or the "Falabek", a vegetarian version with crispy falafel, red cabbage and iceberg lettuce. If you prefer bowls, the 'Bolbek' (with bulgur, vegetables and chicken or a vegetarian version) and the 'Halloumi' bowl will satisfy your craving for a lighter but richly flavoured meal. To end your meal on a sweet note, try the 'Chocobek', sourdough bread topped with Nutella and roasted almonds, or a delicious chocolate mousse. The drinks menu rounds things off nicely, with homemade lemonade, homemade iced tea and craft beers. A must for gourmets looking for authentic culinary experiences in Caen!

Bon je ne pensais pas changer mon avis un jour... J'adore votre Kebab... Mais là il y as vraiment de l'abus...
Je viens de commander via Uber et j'ai reçu un Kebab avec le poulet complètement cramé par le froid voir pire resté a l'extérieur? Bref pas frais DU TOUT même chez moi ça n'arrive pas alors que je ne suis pas être un professionnel ce que vous êtes censé être normalement ?
Vous êtes ouvert le dimanche donc je me demande vraiment depuis quand le poulet traîne dehors ou dans un frigo pour être cramé comme ça...?
Strikes me as one of those places which takes something simple - a chicken kebab - adds some fancy marketing, doubles the price, but doesn't deliver on quality or service (up to 20 minutes for our 2 kebabs with 3 people working). I would head to Safran about 200 m away for an award winning chicken kebab.
