Catalpa Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 We're meeting up with friends in Falaise this week. None of us know Falaise well - has anyone got any recommendations as to where to eat? French and good value are the only criteria so far... and they're not fixed.

Tony the Turner Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Try La Fine Fourchette on the main street opposite the public park. Menus start at about 14 euros and the food and service are excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battypuss Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I can't remember the name of the restaurant, so this probably isn't a lot of help, but there is a large square just behind the hall where they have the market. On one of the sides are a bar on one corner (lousy service) and a rather touristy-looking restaurant on the left hand corner. The menu is also in English, which is normally enough to put me off, but as I had two starving kids with me that day, I tried it. The menu was HUGE, but even that paled in comparison to the size of the portions. The kids menu steak hache would have fed a hungry adult with ease and the pizza I ordered 9which wasn't like any pizza I have ever had before, being a bread base and gryere instead of mozarella etc.) came with a good pound of mince on it and fell off the sides of the plate in all directions. Sneaky looks around showed that other people were receiving similar sized portions; the people on the next table had ordered the fixed menu and, I suspect, regretted it. The seafood starter was enough to serve four! It wasn't expensive either. Place has large front restaurant area with a long bar, plus a smaller room behind on the left hand side that overlooks a side street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalpa Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Lunch date was last Friday - we headed off for La Fine Fourchette and as it started to rain, stopped off and checked out several other possibilities on the way. Strangely enough, I think we ate in exactly the place you describe, Battypuss. The food was excellent... but as two of us were driving and one was teetotal, we just ordered a bottle of cider... and it cost €11. Apart from that, we were impressed.
