Bar de la Foret - Le Molay-Littry

Found this after cycling from Bayeux. A great lunch which was great value The room was packed full of locals which is a great sign. Very welcoming and a highlight of our holiday

We visited on a Tuesday lunch time, following a Bank Holiday for Whitsun. On our arrival we had to wait about 15 minutes for a free table. However, the owners, Sandrine and Bertrand offered a free beer and glass of wine while we waited at the bar. Bertrand did explain that they were hosting a seniors cycling club lunch in addition to their normal 70-80 lunchtime covers. So if possible I would book, as both Sandrine and Bertrand speak English. However, if just passing visit after 13.15 to avoid waiting for a table. The meal consists of buffet starters, a choice of about 16 different products ranging between pate and raw carrot. The mains consist fried beef or boiled ham. We both chose the ham, which was presented in its cooking liquor. I chose the best field chips I had eaten in a number of years. My wife chose the boiled potatoes. We did not take the cheese course, again you take a much as you require. However, I much enjoyed the home made Apple flan and my wife much enjoyed the home made chocolate moose. Fresh strawberries were also on offer, along with about a dozen sweet choices. The meal consists free wine or cider and coffee. All this for €27! Ok the main meal whilst tasty and good did not compare with the we ate last night. But that did cost us €118, without a cheese course! In all other respects, the starters, the pudding wine and coffee were better than we ate last night! The bar is a traditional brasserie that once existed throughout France. We discovered today that it still exists Le Molay-Littry. Note. The brasserie is about 100 meters from the town centre and just after the Marie. Not as indicated on Tripadvisor map

Nipped into the Bar de la Foret for lunch and staying fairly nearby. At 1pm it was packed and fortunately returning half an hour later was far less busy as we had to negotiate room for a pram etc). We had the set menu menu complet 13.50 per person. This comprised of a buffet salad including home made quiche, braised chicken and chips for the main and some cheese and tart tatin for dessert. Food all very nice and felt fairly full afterwards! It 's fairly simple inside but obviously popular with the locals. The woman serving us was very nice and friendly as was everyone we encountered) and spoke excellent English which made up for our poor French. I 'm surprised that,thus far, I seem to be the only English reviewer but presumably not the first to visit, but if that was the case certainly hope that this review might reassure you to give it a try.

Here is the Chinese were makingCutlet bowl is also the lowestNot a Japanese cuisine.

They had a pretty extensive menu and the teriyaki salmon was really great for meIf they could bottle that sauce I would buy it.
