Our tour was just incredible! Ana was our guide and Sebastien was our driver. They were simply amazing and so knowledgeable. I thought I knew a lot about WWII until Ana shared some amazing stories and facts on our tour. Highly recommend!!!

Fabulous museum. Excellent presentation of the historical path leading to WW2 and the subsequent events, not only in Europe but across the world. Balanced and even handed treatment of the role played by all sides (good and bad). Good blend of objects, images, videos and textual explanation. Perfect closure to a few days visiting the historical sites of the area. Highly recommended.

This is “THE” Normandy to take. Private tour with our wonderful guide Lena. Very knowledgeable and so informative. If you don’t want headphones and don’t want to read every placard this is the best way to get the Normandy experience. Even if you are not a WWII buff or into WWII history you will really enjoy this tour. I highly recommend it.

Great museum. But it was CROWDED on a random October afternoon. I recommend you get there early. The bus has a stop so easy and cheap to get to and from.

The museum is big and well designed, but in a sense more general about WW2 than being specific focused on D-Day and Operation Overlord. The museum shows in chronological order the history of the aftermath of WW1, giving rise to nazi Germany, the start of WW2 and its nazi atrocities during this war, and the 3 months from D-Day till the liberation of Paris. There is also a 20-minute D-Day movie showing every half hour. In the old quarry below the museum you can visit the bunker that was used as German HQ around D-Day. For more specific in-depth D-Day and Operation Overlord coverage there are many other museums in the area.

A pure and epic monument to the battle of Normandy and more. If you're travelling to or through Caen, this is a must see for all. Beautiful grounds, incredible memorials and history.

This was a very enjoyable and informative tour of the D-Day landing beaches. Our guide, Oliver, had great knowledge and had a very interesting way of telling the vast history surrounding the whole area.

Very impressive stretch of gardens, fields, overlooks and trails. There are farm animals, mini golf, an ice cream shop and a small cafe in the park, even a par cour course for children. It's just lovely and I would highly recommend a visit.

Free parc. Love the inclusive playground. Subtheme in little pieces of the parc like viking/asgard garden. Maze is fun to do with young kids. Everything was very neat.

Peaceful and beautiful park with animals, flowers, roses, greenery, fountains and views. Car park right next to it, there is a mini golf and toilets also. We really enjoyed and think if we would like close by this place would be our reading, chilling spot for sure.

Very nice large and green park. Playgrounds for small children are nice. Fountain area is very much worth a visit.

Amazing parc for fresh air and a good walk ! Beautiful roses in the Roseraie and the maze is great.

Great park to learn about the environmental issues. The whole park has been built on a waste dump site. Now, it is covered by trees, roses and vegetation, but below it is full of plastic bottles, glass, cans. There is a great demonstration area about the history, and a cross section of the waste below. Otherwise, the park offers a great panorama view on Caen, has a little farm with animals, unfortunately no direct access to the animals for feeding and touching. There is a nice playground, and several tracks for walking. The car traffic nearby is high at one side of the park, but inside it ok. There no protected bike lanes to reach it, but at least there is a bike parking in front of it. If you are visiting Caen as a tourist, I think this is a must see experience to learn about current environmental issues. And a great place for children to run around, play, and see some animals.

Hugely impressed with this park. Hadn't realised it's origins until I was reading about how the site was previously the council dump. Absolutely worth a visit with the kids. Many different things to see... including dipping your feet into the fountain to cool down. The views are great and the gardens are very well maintained.

Great food, service and surroundings. Well worth an evening dinner trip.

Delicious fish, great self service and nice cakes but..waiters are too speedy...my coffee wasn't enough warm what a shame !

Good value for food!

A good place where to eat after the memorial museum of Caen!

Fish food is good

Super

(Translated by Google) Being from the school right next door, I often come to Patio Caen and it's always great! It's really the perfect place for a break. The prices are very affordable (which is important for a student!) and the service is incredibly fast. The whole team is super friendly and always welcoming, we have a great time there every time. The food is good, the service is efficient and the atmosphere is friendly. Thank you, you are the best around! (Original) Étant de l'école juste à côté, je viens souvent au Patio Caen et c'est toujours au top ! C'est vraiment l'endroit parfait pour une pause. Les prix sont très abordables (ce qui est important pour un étudiant !) et le service est incroyablement rapide. Toute l'équipe est super sympa et toujours accueillante, on y passe un excellent moment à chaque fois. On y mange bien, le service est efficace et l'ambiance est conviviale. Merci, vous êtes les meilleurs du coin !

Great food, friendly staff. Great prices.

Ut delivers yummy pizzas. Loved the taste of pizza and pasta here. Must visit place

Very friendly and helpful has we don't speak French.

Loved it

Supers pizzas

(Translated by Google) We were passing through and just wanted to grab a quick pizza. We ordered the 40cm Cheese for €16.40. It was well-topped with several types of cheese, the crust was thin, not soggy, and cooked well. EXCELLENT QUALITY. We've rarely enjoyed pizza so much! A small shop that makes first-class food. (Original) Wir sind auf der Durchreise und wollten nur kurz eine Pizza essen. Bestellt haben wir uns die 40cm Cheese für 16.40€. Gut belegt mit mehreren Sorten Käse, dünner Boden, nicht matschig, gut durchgebacken. SEHR GUTE QUALITÄT. Selten hat uns die Pizza so gut geschmeckt! Ein kleiner Laden, der erstklassiges Essen macht.

(Translated by Google) The delicious smell of pizza greets us, and just from that, we know the taste will be there. And indeed, a beautiful, generous pizza, made with quality ingredients (premium ham, cherry tomatoes, "real" tomatoes, green olives, etc.), expertise, and passion. I really enjoyed it. Excellent value for money. Pizza lovers will definitely come back. A simple welcome. A small, basic space to eat in (but I got takeout). Easy access and parking right next door. Thanks for the taste buds! (Original) La bonne odeur de pizza nous accueille et juste à ça, on comprend que le goût y sera. Et effectivement, une belle pizza généreuse, réalisée avec de bons produits (jambon supérieur , tomates cerise, "vraie" tomate, olives vertes...), du savoir-faire et de la passion. Je me suis régalée. Excellent rapport qualité prix. Les amateurs y reviendront avec certitude. Accueil simple. Un petit espace sommaire pour manger sur place (mais j'ai pris à emporter). Facile d'accès et stationnement tout à côté. Merci pour les papilles !

Phenomenal and very good value for the quality of the food and the experience. Really highly recommend

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was top-notch and the service was exceptional. The planned menu with wine is a must-try, and definitely worth the price. The staff were very knowledgeable about the dishes and made sure that everything was explained thoroughly. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming, making it a great choice for special occasions or a night out. Although parking can be a bit tricky, it's well worth the effort. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Caen.

A simply amazing experience! We had the 4 course "surprise" menu and every single item (including the amuse bouche) was a memorable. The locally sourced lamb course was both excellent and very creative as was the fish (lieu jaune prepared in a sushi style with courgette sauce and quinoa). Make no mistake, you are at the frontiers of taste here. Add in the flawless and very welcoming service, the excellent wine list, and the beautifully restored dining room and you have one of the best addresses in all Normandy (and perhaps in all of France). Very much recommended. We hope to return -- often.

This is a "must go" place. We chose the planned menu with wine, which came out about 60Euro. 5 on the menu but it's actually 7 courses. AMAZING food, and the staff are so wonderful. The chef made sure that the food came out right in time so that we have a steady flow and none got cold, etc. For the price, the menu is way worth more than its costs!

My friend Maurice and I had the tasting menu with matching wines. An excellent menu with splendid service. The price is very good value considering the standard of food and wine.

So far.... the best 1 star that we have gone to on this trip... playful, sometimes odd, but overall a very pleasant experience! Would recommend to go

A nice and pleasant place to go. I took my wife to this restaurant for her birthday . it was a great night. the food was exeptional. the two girls were so kind and they explaind us every thing about the food very well.we will go back as we enjoyed it so much. the quality of food is top of the top. once again a nice place to go.

A Wonderful experience and must dine! Food was superb, service first class and very attentive staff. A pleasure to dine and well worth the Michelin star !

Menu of seven courses @Eu78 per person, with paired wine. Food and wine and service were all exquisite. Will definitely visit again.

Not much of a castle but mostly ruins and some wall and courtyard structures still standing along with some minarets. A nice place for a hangout and picnic during the nice weather! This was a quick visit and free as well.

Inside, there are several playgrounds for children and a nice park with benches where you can relax and rest. Within the walls, you’ll also find a café and a museum, and you can walk along the entire rampart. From the tower, you can enjoy a wonderful view of Caen from above.

A wonderful experience which is free. The castle grounds are extensive and the view from the towers is spectacular. There are several art installations in the grounds including a Rodin. A good shop and also a nice restaurant

This historic site is really interesting with it having a medieval castle ( with its walls still being mostly intact) and a museum to look around. I really enjoyed looking around and being able to have a first person experience with one of Caens most historic landmarks. The views of the city below are beautiful with you being able to see miles in every direction. Would definitely recommend for lovers of history.

I don't know who was in charge of placing the museum entrance to the other side of the main building where you can't find it, not too smart. I mean seriously how much income are you losing because you're hiding THE FRONT DOOR!? I was ready to buy a ticket when I entered the building that looks like it should be the entrance to the museum, but I was abruptly brushed off with "Go to the other entrance on the other side." I looked for it, I could not find it. So I kept my money in my pocket and look at all the ancient buildings and the un-celebrated RODIN modestly hanging out by the path. I had just paid a lot to see his creations at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and it was awesome to see Rodin's Working Man sculpture right there out in the open. The 2000 year old buildings were great and the many benches and wide Open spaces were relaxing as a public park. Mid afternoon, there was a cafe but it wasn't open. If I were the Mairie of Caen paying these people, I wouldn't. Their incompetence and lack of people skills is costing money that you could use to pay better employees.

Large castle on a hill in the centre of the city. Nice to walk around (free entry and open until 22:30). There are some museums inside as well.

Was really surprised we were able to access the castle at anytime, it is a beautiful place to wander around and look over the city from atop the walls! Well looked after, great stop when in Caen!

Amazing hidden treasure. Free entry. Beautifully kept gardens and tropical house. Small cafe on site.

Free access to the park, (botanical) gardens and greenhouse with tropical and exotic plants. There is also a giant sequoia tree (near the botanical institute). Perfect place for a picnic or a moment of rest. It is a short walk from Caen Castle (less than a kilometer) or from city center (bit more than a kilometer). We enjoyed our visit here and recommend it.

Nice botannical garden. Not too big, but it has nice area's, especially the place witg the stream of water.

Gorgeous park, free entrance! There are a lot of spots where you can do a little picnic, or to sit and enjoy the peace. Incredible enough, at the heart there is a very big greehouse which contains tropical plants from different regions. It is divided in different sections and these sections are regulated independently in heat and humidity. (Make sure you can easily remove your jacket...you have been warned....). All of this hidden behind the simple name: Gardens of Caen. Very much recommend!! **Locals: there were many adults and children there, so it must be a favourite educational spot.

Beautiful place. A lot of flowers and trees. Good for taking a break of the city life. Enjoy the fresh air and the songs of birds. The advantage of this floral park is that it is situated in center of Caen.

Wonderful garden, a must see at Caen. Friendly environment,with a good book or a friend l you could stay for hours there, and you won't regret it.

Beautiful place: well looked after, diverse, and coloured. Perfect for enjoying an afternoon with company or alone, hearing the birds sings and watching all the different species of the flora.

Magnificent architecture.

A must see on your Caen trip ...lovely exterior architecture but inside very plain and sedate.

Beautiful and unique experience!! A must visit

St Peter's church in Caen is a great religious construction built in 13th to 16th century. It's near the castle. Important historical events took place in the church.

Stunning, simply stunning. A must whilst visiting Caen.

Nice to pop in while in Caen. Check the hours if you want to go inside. It's under renovation.

It was very warm church and quiet place with a lot of peace

Extensive collection of classical modern art. Interesting cubist painting. Beautiful temporary exhibition. Difficult layout of rooms and confusing plan. Direction signs would help, including one to the exit. Nice bookshop. Toilets need more attention and are smelly.

I love this museum. If your agre below 29 years old is free but if your age above it, the entrance fee is €3, 5. I visited with friend and the have a lot of collections and it amazed me bc some of their collection since 1500 years ago

Such an amazing paintings, I mesmerized after saw all those ancient things especially the miniatures, felt like I was living in ancient time✨

I visited with my partner,sadly the castle was covered in scaffolding and not accessible, but the art museum was v interesting, kindly staff helping with lifts for my disability. Lots to see and a vibrant atmosphere.

Lovely museum, spaceous, luminous. The expo we visited was very well put together.

We enjoined the lower level, beautiful, also great view from the castle

My visit to the Musee Des Beaux-Arts was just perfect, in fact I returned the next day to take a second look (ticket runs for 48 hours) What a collection. Also the building is so well designed it fits right in with the artwork display. Excellent collection of ‘Local Art’ too.

First ballet I've ever seen and I went my daughter we loved it thank you 💜🩰

An excellent theatre with incredibly uncomfortable seating. My partner is 6 ft and has a knee replacement and there is insufficient room between rows to accommodate his legs. Sad

The staff is nice, it is really easy to get informations and there is always someone to show your your seat. Shows are of quality.

Good theatre. Seats comfortable. Central position. Bars ,restaurants, shops on the vicinity.

A good place to spend your free time

Good seating, affordable price and good programs.

Incroyable, would saw it again ! 💯

Really great service & attentive staffs. Very good view where we sat. Food was great, dessert great. Can’t fault them. Recommend bavette d'aloyau and camembert.

The reviews did not lie! Great place for steak and one of the best Steak Tartare's I've had and I have them all over the place travelling. Service was really good for us and service charge is not added on the bill as it's wrapped up in the menu but you can leave a tip your discretion ( we did as the service was great). We were in Caen for 24 hrs and went back for lunch the next day just for the tartare ! Coming from Guernsey, we found the prices very reasonable.

We absolutely loved our dinner at Beouf & Cow in Caen! Booking a table online was quick and easy (I’d definitely recommend doing so), and as a really nice touch, the restaurant even phoned to reconfirm on the day - in English too so you don't have to worry that you regret taking German instead at school. It’s a stylish, modern steakhouse with options for every budget. whether you’re after an affordable cut or want to splash out on the wagyu or even Kobe. The menu is extensive, and if you love beef, you’ll be spoilt for choice. A small note for fellow English speakers: the English menu is written with a lot of American phrasing, which doesn’t always translate perfectly for other English speakers - we found ourselves glancing at the French menu with a smile to double check what was what 😂 We started with a selection of sharing tapas so everyone could try a bit of everything. They arrived beautifully on a wooden plancha with bread. Highlights were definitely the beef tartare (an absolute musttry) and the dauphinoise balls with curry sauce... Perfect for us as big curry lovers. For mains, we ordered a range of steaks - ribeye, filet, onglet, and sirloin, and every single one was cooked perfectly. (Tip: in France, if you usually order medium rare, you might want to go one level up, as steaks here tend to be served a touch pinker than elsewhere.) I had the onglet, which is one of my favourite cuts but rarely found on menus, and it was incredible! Robust, beefy flavour and so good. Desserts were just as good, the fruit with apple sorbet was refreshing after a rich meal, while the table side caramelised crème brûlées stole the show with a bit of theatre. Still being talked about. Drinks were also delish with a wide wine list ranging from affordable to indulgent. We especially loved their twist on a Moscow Mule, made with calvados instead of vodka - delicious and very Normandy! Service throughout was excellent. I know some reviews mention brusque service, but we felt it was simply cultural differences in directness; for us, everything was warm, attentive, and very professional. If you’re in Caen, you really should make time for Beouf & Cow. Whether you go for the set menu at lunch or dinner, or treat yourself to wagyu or Kobe, you’ll have a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

Weekend in Caen with friends, we visited this place on strength of reviews and we weren’t disappointed! The food was beautifully cooked delicious cuts of the best steaks around. The staff friendly and really great service. The price, extremely reasonable for the quality and size of offer. It was so good we immediately booked in for the next night! The mixed planche of steak was a favourite, but the à la carte steaks were also amazing! Highly recommended!

If you like beef, you should go to that place. It's a cozy restaurant located in the center of Caen. They have an attractive two- and three-course lunch and dinner menu. It's great value for money and worth a stop :) Make sure to reserve a table, as it's always packed.

We chose Boeuf & Cow because it was one of the few places open serving Tripes de Caen – and it was a great decision! For starters we had the baked camembert, followed by Tripes de Caen and tender chicken for mains, and finished with a selection of cheeses for dessert. The tripes were hearty and comforting, with a surprisingly delicious bouillon full of depth and flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked – tender and very flavorful. Everything was well prepared and satisfying. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially if you want to try authentic regional dishes!

I had the beef short rib in whisky and peppercorn marinade, it was delicious. Service was excellent and very friendly. Best restaurant in Caen.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Good food and English-speaking, attentive/fun staff. It’s on Rue du Vaugueux à Caen which is the medieval street full of eateries by the castle. We discovered the owners used to run one of the restaurants opposite which we had eaten at a few years ago.

It’s rare for me to write a review. Either something went terribly wrong or wonderfully right. In this case it’s happily the latter. Hats off to this small restaurant and the team that took care of my wife and me. From the greeting, the ambiance, to the exceptional service to the intriguing menu, within French traditional cuisine. The fresh produce was thoughtfully blended to allow the subtile qualities of each ingredient shine through. A nicely accompanied wine list and option of pairing made the meal an exceptional experience. In France, there’s no lack of great cuisine but great service can be hard to find without a Michelin Star and the price tag to go with it. Congratulations to a great team! Chapeau!!

Horace truly impresses with its inventive dishes and professional staff. The culinary creations offer unique and delightful flavor combinations, making for a memorable dining experience. The team provides exceptionally welcoming, attentive, and efficient service, contributing to a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The best dinner place in Caen!! Very busy but the staff is very nice and good in English, also quick. The food was excellent! I ordered pork cheeks and my bf ordered salmon - we loved it! Because the portions are not very big we ordered a dessert with it. Visiting this restaurant was our best decision for the evening.

Fantastic meal and experience. I had the duck & it was delicious. I highly recommend this culinary experience

If you want to have THE ABSOLUTE BEST food experience in Caen, then you DEFINITELY should try this restaurant. The food was just amazing! It just shows what you can do with food when you take it as an art work. I had salmon with dill sauce (twice in two days!!!!) and it was just simply wonderful. All the flavours were just so well put together and all of them were really delicate and they just complimented each other very very well. And not even mentioning the staff, they are very, very kind and nice. (And they speak english very well aswell :D) Overall, 11/10 in my opinion. Definitely would recommend. Merci!

Incredibly unique and delicious French dishes. Ceviche, Camembert tart, fish stew, duck confit with butternut puree, all great! Friendly and attentive staff

I have mixed feelings. Food is good, with a mixture of flavours, tastes and sense emotions. We didn't get the full menu so we probably missed some bits. Service and wine was... Strange. It was not easy to know eventually if the wine was the one we ordered. On the bad side, reading the chef self description in the bathroom was not helping at all (both location and text) and, definitely, is overpriced. So it's a good concept with a little bit more of selfishness than desired.

Excellent experience at l'Accolade at the end of July. We ordered the 7 mouvements menu and it was absolutely delicious from beginning to end. The atmosphere is quite relax and calm (understand : not noisy which is a massive plus). Impeccable service and top notch dishes. Lovely associations and creativity. Stunning plates to look at as well! It was colourful, tasty, classy and not over the top which is always appreciated. Thank you!

We could find a reservation at short notice and we’re delighted to have chosen l’accolade. The six-course menu was delicate, balanced, diverse, and delicious. The menu is blind so you won’t ow what you’ll be eating. We’ve added a photo of ours which will give you a some idea of what to expect-but it really depends on the ingredients of the day. Come with an open mind and you’ll leave having tasted new, interesting flavours and ingredients. Service was excellent 👌🏽 the portion sizes were generous for a chic restaurant. We left feeling satisfied and very full. TOP!

The food was inconsistent. Many courses of the 7 lacked true flavor. The one excellent course was the beet salad. Meat course cold and chewy. White beans had thought dried mushrooms instead of succulent ones. Bread and butter were fab but that does not make a great meal Wonderful use of unusual herbs however adds the third star

Passing through the city I decided to enter the restaurant. I was very happy with the choice. The service is magnificent, dishes with excellent presentation and delicious flavors. First-rate service and superior quality. In addition, the wine list is wonderful and you will find the best labels. Come eat here when you visit the city. Satisfaction is guaranteed!

This restaurant is excellent. It is extremely good value for money. It is ‘only’ Michelin listed but deserves a star. Very friendly service, also suitable for a ‘drop in’ meal.

9 course prix fixe with wine pairing was absolutely delightful. Attentive and informational service for each course. Merci!!

The place is set in an interesting structure and is cozy and cute. The service was very attentive and great although it was quite hard to get attentions once the food is served but more due to the number of guests. The food was classic French with some hints of experiment - they were cooked well.

Best service ever experienced in a restaurant. Generous portions. Local options in the menu, with high quality ingredients. Our waiter was extremely attentive and made the entire experience even better.

Excellent food and wine, experience boosted by quality service. Offers menus in French and English but staff will assist and help recommend dishes based on your particular likings.

The food was excellent and wine list is really good. Good wine and good food. Definitely recommend. :-)

A wonderful meal in charming surroundings furnished with vintage pieces and menu chalk boards. The host was very friendly and we had genial conversations in Franglais! He speaks very good English and was quick to spot our Nationality as we mangled our French vocab. The lamb shank (souris d'agneau) was very good, the bread served with it was the most delicious I've had in five years of living in France. Our desserts were delectable. Very good prices too, our meal didn't break the bank. Fixed menu plats between 18 and 22 euros for two courses and a full choice menu with everything below 25 euros. We parked in the cleanest underground car park ever, with bright lights and music playing, just around the corner, and the ticket was just 1.50e for the evening. A lovely experience in Caen, highly recommended.

I recently dined at Mooky's in Caen and had an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was fun and unique, with vintage furnishings and chalkboard menus. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the evening. I particularly enjoyed the gratin de raviole and tataki de thon, both of which were flavorful and expertly prepared. For dessert, I opted for the gourmand, a small version of four desserts off the menu, and was not disappointed. The prices were reasonable, with a fixed menu starting at 18 euros for two courses and a full choice menu with everything under 25 euros. The restaurant also sells charcuterie and cheese, adding to the French culinary experience. The owner was friendly and spoke perfect English, making it a great option for tourists. Overall, I had a fantastic evening at Mooky's and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Caen.

We'd been up since 3am, traveling in from another country, and were looking forward to an early dinner at this highly recommended restaurant. Although the place had many open tables, the matre'd looked us up and down and asked if we had reservations. We did not. "Not possible." Tomorrow night? "Not possible." The look we got was, "it would never be possible." We were dressed casually from our travels, but not slovenly. Dress, Americans, lack of ability to speak French, you pick the reason for the snub. I can't review the food or atmosphere, but I can definitely review the service.
