Bayeux: La Table du Terroir (September 2017)

La Table du Terroir - Large Restaurant with Lots of Outdoor Dining Space
My spouse and I dined at La Table du Terroir on a Saturday evening in early September 2017. The restaurant is open Thursdays through Tuesdays from 12:00 noon until 2:30 pm for lunch, and again from 6:30 pm until 10:00 pm for dinner. (Hours may vary seasonally.) We reserved our table on the evening prior to our visit by stopping in at the restaurant. We stayed nearby at the Villa Lara, and it was less than a 5-minute walk to La Table du Terroir.
La Table du Terroir, whose name translates to “The Table of Wine”, offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoors, you can dine on its large awning-covered side terrace that offers a glimpse of the main street, which is pedestrian-only during the summer months. Inside, you can dine in the bustling front/main dining room with window views, at one of two booths in a private nook across from the drinks bar (which does not offer stools at which to sit, as a bar in the US would), or in the large rear dining room.
The restaurant serves classic French cuisine. As our starters, we ordered the huitres (oysters) and the gratinee onion (onion soup). For our main dishes, we shared the poelee St. Jacques (scallops, carrots, mushrooms, pasta) and the rognons de veau (kidney stew with frites). We finished our meal by sharing an order of pain de perdu brioche (bread pudding) for dessert. For our food and three rounds of drinks (beers and sodas), our bill totaled about 100 Euros.
Although we liked the atmosphere and service at La Table du Terroir, our main dishes were less successful than our starters and dessert.
