Wandering through Bayeux, the wine bottles caught my eye. Approaching the door, the smell captivated me. A smiling man at the counter read my face and informed me that the aroma was the Pork Cheek cooking for this evening service. But we had reservations elsewhere. "That's too bad... For you" he said, again with a smile. We cancelled and joined... More

My brother and I visited Bayeux in March of this year and I checked this Wine Bar/restaurant out on Tripadvisor before we went I wasn't dissapointed what a lovely place and so friendly the owner made us feel very welcome... the food was delicious and we went back a couple of times I would definitely recommend this place.

Whilst I was on a D-day tour, I tasked my brother with finding a nice wine bar/restaurant for the evening. When I met up with him he said he found this lovely looking wine bar tucked away behind the high street. Well, what a godsend this place turned out to be! Only one choice of a three course dinner on... More

We just toured in 3 European countries, and by far the most fun and joyous meal of the trip was at Le Volet qui Penche. We also had the best wine of the trip there, even though we dined in several more expensive restaurants. Our 3 course dinner was very good - not haute cuisine, but flavorful and well presented....

Great spot to try some amazing French wines... do not be intimidated English-speakers! All those who work there speak fluent English and help you as much as possible to have an enjoyable night with amazing wine and food. Enjoy!

Upon our arrival in Bayeux from Paris we wanted to grab a light lunch before commencing with our Normandy tour. Our tour guide, Mathias LecLere - owner of D-Day Guided Tours (OUTSTANDING tour guide) - suggested we eat at Le Volet qui Penche. It was right by our hotel (Hotel Villa Lara - a must stay when in Bayeux) and... More

We stumbled across this bistro while exploring the streets of Bayeux. Pierre was a very welcoming host to my wife and two teenage sons. Very eager to make our time in his beautiful wine bar a night to remember. Food was devine and the wine even more! My sons are still talking about our great night we had. For my... More

We had just finished a D-Day tour and our guide Mathias (D-Day Guided tours - a must do by the way!) recommended Le Volet qui Penche. I was traveling with my ten and fifteen year old kids and we were exhaused. This was perfect and the owner Pierre-Henri was delightful. He made us feel like we were guests in his... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining here in April 2013. It is small, but very charming, and the owner just delightful. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine with our delicious meal but Pierre-Henri made our evening so special. He is warm, funny and makes you feel as though you are in the home of and old... More

We were drawn in by the well priced menu du jour and stream-front location. The owner is charming and seriously knows his wines. He explained his process for selecting them which includes extensive tasting and visiting every vineyard. The wine we had was some of the best I've had in France. The cheese plate was good and focused primarily on... More
