Bistro des Artistes

Honfleur


This small and dainty eatery near Église Ste-Catherine is managed by Anne-Marie Carneiro, who greets guests, waits tables and cooks. Service can therefore be a bit slow, but dishes are magnificent, and everything is made in-house, including the hearty bread brought to your table. The menu – on a chalkboard – changes frequently, but features beautifully turned-out dishes.

There's a bohemian air to the place, with sculpture-like artwork on the walls and perhaps a local's dog underfoot.
