La Taverne - Cherbourg-en-Cotentin

Best food, best service in Cherbourg .. packed with locals, very clean, great menu, excellent quality .. had steak one night, burgers for lunch on a other day .. reasonably priced .. friendly staff .. loved everything about this place!

For various reasons I have been visiting/travelling through Cherbourg for about 40 years and have visited all of the eateries at some stage. Cafe de Paris,Le Vauban,La Cale, Le Commerce etc... La taverene recently opened in the place of a failed pan-asian restaurant called le Taipan and has been transformed into a smart Brasserie with a simple but attractive menu. Good selection of wines. Chose 6 oysters from Fermanville followed by a Choucroute au Fruits de Mers. My wife had Dos de Cabillaud a l'aioli. Both were delicious. There was a small problem with the potatoes being undercooked in both dishes. An attempt to remedy this with new potatoes was unsuccessful. As a gesture of goodwill the bottle of wine was on the house. At all times the welcome and service was excellent, and the way our minor issue was dealt with was great. New restaurant with inevitable teething problems, but would recommend it as worth visiting

Very friendly welcome, good privacy between the tables, the meal and the service nothing to say was very good! We will return with pleasure.

Frankly disappointing. The server is not friendly. The thyme lemon bar is in curry and the fish has no taste as the vegetables. Heavier lemon pie and sweet archi, served with Chantilly. I couldn't finish. Fortunately the person at the bar catches the final impression.

Super good restaurant, friendly staff and the kitchen is excellent!
