Chez Herve

Très bon bistrot, patron inspiré, très bon baba au rhum (avec bouteille de rhum sur la table!), Calvados offert en fin de repas (avec bouteille sur la table!). 1er et probablement dernier diner puisque ce restaurant ferme courant septembre après plus de 15 ans d'existence (le propriétaire du fond a visiblement un projet d'aménagement ambitieux...)

This is a gem! The restaurant looks very casual, nothing special about the interior except for the pictures of all the celebrities that already visited this lovely restaurant! (When Omar Sharif is in town, he still always drops by, we were told) But then the food: it's amazing! Amazing seafood, amazing French high cuisine classics served perfectly by a very friendly hard working staff. Their Irish Coffee by the way is fantastic. Just as it should be, so NOT with the sugary whipped cream restaurants usually serve it with, but with real cream without the sugar. And mr Hervé, the owner, is such an amazing host! He even deejays himself, playing 70's and even more obscure 80's tracks, who would have thought! Guests even started to dance! In the week we stayed in Deauville we ate here 3 times and all were perfect experiences. A must visit.
