Olivier Barbarin, former chef at the 4-star Château d’Audrieu, has reinvented himself as the chef of a trendy restaurant in downtown Caen—one of the city’s most modern and inviting spots. The restaurant features “hidden” menus—set menus inspired by the moment and the seasons—giving the chef complete creative freedom to reinvent his dishes. Good intuition and flawless execution make this a reliable choice, whether for a business lunch or a romantic dinner. Pleasant wine cellar.
