5.8 La Rapiere in Bayeux is sure a "Ye Olde Style" Restaurant that serves "Ye Contemporary Cuisine" that serves very contemporary cuisine. They started us off with an amuse of a wonderful mushroom soup with bits of truffles.
Our Deauville hostess/friend had the oysters and I started with three roasted gambas with wonderfully offsetting chopped vegetables.
Then I, who had the bigger "menu" had a trou Normand which carved its intended hole. One of the grandkids had the cocotte of fish and veggies, the other had cod with vegetables, Colette had the gambas, our friend had a (much too dry) pork. I had an almost perfectly cooked filet of veal to which I added a tad bit of salt; sauce was spectacular - an impressive dish.
For finales I had a cheese plate; our friend had the cheesecake, the ladies had chocolate mousse and I had the creme brulee with speculoos.
With a bottle and a glass of wine, terrific bread and three coffees our bill was the equivalent of 105.60 E a couple.
