We arrived at Ouistreham just after 13:40, delay due to some of the blockage on the periphery of Caen . We went to our usual restaurant and we were send away . So we started looking at others restaurants. Not too many were opened. We saw one of the set menu outside , my daughter liked it as she is vegetarian but eat fish . We walk in , the restaurant was still very busy . The lady told us to take a seat , she was very friendly and lovely . Service was very good , the lady was doing everything and did not stop . The food omg was excellent , so fresh ( not frozen ) , tastefully , was really impressed. The chef even help to deliver the food to the table which show a good team work . As we left at around 15:00 they were still table , mainly British people who were looking for a meal before to go on the ferry. I was really impressed and will go back . We had different set menu , an average of €24.95 for two courses

Sauces to go to heaven on. Great little find while you wait for the ferry. Lebanese elements and a wealth of French flavours.

Dubious at first due to the location but our group agreed that L'Auberge delivered the best food from a week in the Caen area. The mix of excellent Lebonnesse food and conventional French (also excellent) made for a very req3ding experience.

We’ve been to a number of restaurants in Ouistraham whilst waiting for the ferry. This is the best by far. Hosts are warm and friendly (and speak excellent English), food is excellent (mezze was particularly nice) and is dog friendly. Recommended.

Only 4stars for atmosphere only because the Xmas flashing lights were just a little too bright. However in every other respect we loved this place. Food first class. I had Salmon and avocado tartare - superb - and truffle tagliatelle. Also superb. Charming hostess and they even asked why I had not cleared the dish and I had to explain a stomach issue. We were awaiting a ferry and in future will come again.
