Chez Le Bougnat

I love it! I'm waiting for the day I'll go there again. A very cute and warm welcome by the owner + an incredible local flavor!

For meat lovers, In a small town in the Normandie area a very good French restaurant with homemade dishes,
They offer a variety of food mostly comforting slowly cooked food beside other traditional French dishes and salads.
The dishes are sooo generous! I could barely finish my pot.
The service is good and the ambiance quiet!

Travelling with my fiancé across France for 2 months, so it’s fair to say we have eaten at MANY French restaurants during our trip. After a while, all the restaurants have blurred into one but wow, we absolutely were not expecting this place to be this outstanding. We have eaten our way through Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris, Biarritz and La Rochelle and we have stayed exclusively at hotels so have not had access to a kitchen and thus eat at a restaurant at least twice a day- but wow our experience at Le Bougnat has been the most satisfying! Authentic French cuisine, generous portions, unique menu items in a quaint little town not far from Deauville. I would especially recommend eating here if you are tired of the Normandy seafood and would just love a taste of lamb, entrecôte, etc. expertly cooked. We are just so very impressed with the food here. As for the American reviewers who gave this place a bad reviews. Please check your attitudes at the door. This place does get busy after 1pm because the food is absolutely excellent and this is not an American McDonald’s or your local Denny’s. A polite Bonjour sprinkled with some s’il vous plaits will go a long way. Highly recommended for authentic French cuisine with a nice selection of regional specialties. Serves the best foie gras and ris de veau i have had in France. The tripe a la mode de Caen is also a must-try! Especially if you do not want to go all the way Caen to try this specialty. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

We ate here today and the food was superb. Staff and service was excellent and attentive. We had the rack fo lamb, the escargot, the sweetbread and the tripe soup which the Chef won numerous awards for including the "La Tripe d'Or 2021-2022". This also had Michelin stars in 2018 and 2019. The best restaurant we have eaten at during our 2 month tour.

Le Bougnat 🥩 🥘 🍷🧀
They are very much generous in the food amount. I have steak and my bf had a menu so I could share entree and cheese from him. Even my steak & 🍟 french fries are good and a lot. All is delicious and they have various kinds of meats and bread and salty cheese are also nice. You will see! Also, the restaurant decorations are cool and I could have dinner in the 2nd floor. Except the food serving speed, everything was nice.

This quaint and very popular restaurant is quite the find. The food is fabulous. The chef is a star. Laurent is a people’s person. He promised me a “tasting” on our next visit as there are many mouth watering dishes on the menu which I would love to try.

Excellent. We go here almost every year since 1996… great food!

Lovely gourmand restaurant in a quiet and peaceful village. Their specialty: intestines. Don't worry, they do have many other options of that's not your thing. I had the veal liver. It was very well.
