Hotel Brasserie du Marche

Post Christmas pre New Year. Clientèle a mix of local council workers and family groups. Not a tourist in sight. French children were so well behaved not an xbox to be seen Traditional bar with restaurant. Very full, with drinkers and diners all engaged in cheerful conversations. Only missing the gauloises! We took menu du jour and enjoyed it very much. Huge salade nordique starter. Main course entrecôte chewy but tasty. The accent was really on beer, so wine choice very limited, but house red was quite OK. Service very attentive from mother and 2 daughters ? who thrived on good natured chaffing from the young council drivers. With final coffees, bill was €52 for 2. Having been obliterated in WW2, Condé is no longer a tourist attraction, but visitors to the surrounding Suisse Normande will find a slice of old France here.

Found this place whilst exploring Conde sur Noireau. The Brasserie is also a hotel. We ate outside having the well priced menu du jour. Spouse had an all vegetable starter and I had the fish alternative. We followed this with a pudding for spouse whilst I had the steak and chips of the day. All well prepared/cooked and tasty. The place was full of locals, all having a lunch and drink in the sun. The food arrived when it was ready, all freshly prepared which is why it attracts workmen having their two hour lunch. Our total bill the euro equivalent of £20. The local house wine or cider was good, although I sometimes wonder how the French work after such a lunch with that quantity of alcohol ! We will revisit when we are next in the area

The mango sago topped with grapefruit and mango was delicious. Refreshing and fresh. 6.95 for a decently sized serving.
