Bayeux: La Fringale (August 2017)

La Fringale - Popular Restaurant for Locals and Travelers
My spouse and I dined at La Fringale on a Wednesday evening in late August 2017. The restaurant is open Mondays through Saturdays; however, it closes on Wednesdays in the winter months. We stayed nearby at the Villa Lara, and it was less than a 5-minute walk to the restaurant.
La Fringale, whose name translates to “The Munchies”, offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors, you can dine on the awning-covered sidewalk terrace, adjacent to the street, which is pedestrian-only during the summer months. The smallish indoor space requires visitors to take a few steps down from street elevation. The cozy interior features a sort of country hodgepodge decor that creates a homey feel. This restaurant is one of the more family-friendly (and dog-friendly) establishments that we visited, even setting aside a corner by the front window for a children’s play area.
La Fringale offers rustic French cuisine, as well as a selection of gourmet pizzas. We began with the tatin andouille (apple and chorizo tart) and the soup de poisson (Normandy fish soup). As our main courses, we ordered the marmite de poisson (curried fish with rice), and the beef bourguignon. For our food and three rounds of drinks (beer and sodas), our bill totaled 85 Euros.
We enjoyed our dinner at La Fringale: good food and service in a casual atmosphere.
