Restaurant & Chambres d'Hotes L'eau Vive

The prices are genuinely affordable, and the food and service were both amazing. It’s a quiet, pleasant place for a good meal, with an astonishing range of great coffee. We’d recommend it to anyone nearby.

We were offered a glass of champagne for two, which was a lovely courtesy. The food was good, the setting was lovely, and parking was easy. The set menu includes a starter, main and side, and dessert for 24Eur, hard to beat. Drinks are fairly priced too, with 75cl cider at 11Eur and 50cl sweet wine at 13Eur. It’s just a few minutes by car from honfleur and the brige, so give it a try :-)

We ended up here after missing our visit to the abbey because we’d picked the wrong day and hadn’t planned well. It’s a beautiful location. I wasn’t keen on the service, which didn’t feel very professional to me: there were no suggestions or comments, and no help with the language. The meat was good and the house’s special dessert was very tasty. The camambert salade was disappointing, though, since I expected something quite different.

We came across this restaurant by chance and got a warm welcome. The inside looked clean and nice, but with our three noisy kids we ate outside on the patio. The €12 lunch menu was a great deal, and the three courses were really good. Beef carpaccio and moules frites for the main were delicious. The children’s €7 menu had two courses, with pizza, pasta, or steak Hache, plus drinks and ice cream with smarties. Kids and adults were happy, and the free champagne with pudding was very welcome. Much better value than nearby Honfleur. Would recommend.
