Not knowing anything about the restaurant nor it's rating on Trip Advisor, we stumbled in based on the sound of the menu and our need to find a toilet! Wow, what a great accident! La Rapiere is down a little alley and inside a small place with a great balance of old stone atmosphere and sophistication. The salmon with risotto... More

Well - I asked some French ladies in the street for advice on eating in a good "foodie" restaurant. LUCKILY they recommended La Rapiere which is down a little alleyway and can't be seen from the street. Absolutely EXCELLENT food, great ambiance, very clean and very welcoming owners - what more can I say?

Took my group for dinner here last night and they all really enjoyed it. The Chef has made a good attempt at being little different to the normal local tourist fare. Coupled with efficient friendly service as well as being great value it makes for an enjoyable night out. The lightly smoked duck was particularly delicious and the cheesecake was... More

All I can do is add to the raves for La Rapiere. This small, intimate place delivered wonderful cuisine with no pretense or stuffiness. We enjoyed the 4 course Menu. We began with an extraordinary "cake" of smoked salmon and whitefish, topped with an avocado paste -- that does not do it justice, you just must taste it. Throughout the... More

From the moment entering the restaurant until leaving , it was excellent. Very attentive service despite being a party of eight.Food was exquisite , well priced as was the wine. Book in advance as probably wont get in and you will only find it by accident if you are walking down the main street.

The four of us crossed over the channel over the Easter bank holidays for a 'food holiday' so we researched and went to some of the best rated restaurants in Brittany and Normandy and this was unanimously voted as the besy of the lot!! The food, wine, service, setting was all excellent - great experience - Just do it!

The other reviews pretty much say it all. This is one of the best restaurants in the country. The food and service were quite exceptional. Loved it. Make sure you book in advance

We took the lunch menu, very good value, well cooked & presented, along with an excellent choice of half-bottle wines. Perfect coffee to finish.

We recently spent a week in France (Paris and Normandy) and we all agreed that La Rapiere was the best meal we had during our entire trip. La Rapiere offers its guests a cozy and welcoming medieval-type setting and outstanding service presented with a warm smile. We absolutely loved our dining experience; it is a must for all visitors to... More
