My spouse and I stopped at Le Conquerant for drinks and a
snack on a Thursday afternoon in early September 2017. The pub is open
Wednesdays through Mondays from lunchtime until late night (closed on
Tuesdays).
Le Conquerant opened in 2011 in historic Bayeux near the
Tapestry Museum. Its corner location is emphasized by its awning and red
exterior walls. Inside in the bar area, you can sit at the bar itself, or at
high-top tables nearby. In an adjacent dining area, you can sit at
regular-height tables, or you can dine outside on the sidewalk in appropriate
weather. The interior décor includes exposed stone walls and wood beams. In the
restroom, a clever sign near the communal sink (for men, something about “stand
closer, it’s shorter than you think” and for ladies, “please remain seated for
the entire performance”) made us chuckle.
This Irish-French bar (where English is spoken) offers a
small menu of pub food (including fries, grilled cheese/meat [toasties],
burgers, fish and chips, omelets, and crepes), with daily food and drink
specials written on a chalkboard. Our two rounds of drinks (beers and Hysteric
cider) and one order of fries totaled about 20 Euros.
We enjoyed our happy hour at Le Conquerant.
