"Very friendly staff! There was an Urban run through Bayeaux that day, the city was busy into the night. Cool Irish Pub on one of the main streets in this quaint beautiful town."

"Idk what these people are talking about in the negative reviews. The owners are husband and wife. They could not have been more hospitable. Classic Europe, treat them with respect and they’ll treat you like family in return. 5/5. Would definitely return."

"Great place for a beer and cider on tap. The couple who own the bar are friendly, helpful, and down to earth. They spent time talking with us English speaking Canadians and also gave great suggestions for tours. It was the first place we stopped when we got to Bayeux and we would definitely go back. I cannot speak about the food because we only had an afternoon drink."

"We thoroughly enjoyed a summer evening of eating and drinking at this sidewalk cafe. I loved my cheese plate..it was the perfect end to a lovely Bayeaux day. Our waitress was wonderful. She was gracious to help me with my French, and we felt like we had a new friend by the end of the night."

"Irish pub atmosphere and tobacco store. We stopped in to grab a beer while waiting for our train. On a Monday in November, Bayeux is very quiet. La Gitane was open and the staff was very welcoming and friendly"
