Creperie les Bles d'Or

We happened upon this place after wandering around Lisieux and not finding anywhere particularly enticing. Never having tried galetts before we thought we'd give it a go - and boy are we glad we did!The owner was very welcoming and friendly and explained the different dishes (and the fact that he's worked in hospitality in England for some years). The place was packed with locals - always a pretty good sign. The food was came quickly, was beautifuly presented, plentiful, absolutely delicious and very well priced at around 10-12 Euros, with plenty of choices to choose form including daily specials and a strong focus on using organic ingredients. The best - and cheapest - meal we had in 5 days in Normandy, and I can't say fairer than that!

On our way to visiting the Basilica we wanted to stop and have a light lunch. The restaurant was busy but there were tables free and a couple were leaving as we walked in the door. We patiently waited for the proprietor to take payment from another couple and then politely requested a table for two (en Français). All he could utter was "pas de place" and continued to serve other diners. There was a group of three potential diners behind us and they did not appear to have a problem getting a table. I can safely say I have never had a more inhospitable welcome.

We found this place just down the road from the main basilica and, wanting something quick and easy, we popped in. The Crepes are lovely and cheap and the guy who (we presume) runs the place is friendly and speaks excellent English. Recommended.

The salted pancakes are very good and you have a lot of different ingredients to go with! The owner is very talkative but super simplistic! It's close to the beautiful church!
