“ Honestly, if you're not eating your weight in cheese here, you're doing it wrong. A must stop in Caen. I'd even say if you're within a 5 hours of travel to Caen, you should just do it. What else do you really NEED to do... probably nothing. Just do it ”
“ We had a fondue and it was delicious, one of the best ones I have ever had. I liked the atmosphere and the decoration. ”
“ Best raclette ever and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommended ”
“ I did not have a reservation, but that was not a problem. Most fondue places require 2 people minimum for fondue. They were able to accommodate me, being only 1 person. The fondue was delicious! One of the best I ever had! Cider was delicious too! Would absolutely come back. ”
