Cuisine based on local and seasonal products in a restaurant in Caen offering jazz dinner concerts.
We've found him! Chef Tristan Michel (from L'Aperception, remember?) now officiates in the kitchens of Le Mancel. We're delighted by his inventive cuisine, which continues to use a variety of spices and sauces to create surprising dishes. We rediscover the magnificent views from the terraces and even the roof terrace! It's possible to enjoy a morning coffee, an afternoon drink, a cookie or even a quiche outside the restaurant's opening hours! And on the1st Friday of the month, it's tripe, wine, cheese and coffee in the morning. Are you tempted?
