L’Omaha

Très déçue de ce restaurant. Les quantités sont minimalistes et les ingrédients de mauvais choix (sûrement du surgelé), tout cela avec des prix parisiens. Le service est correct, même les serveurs né sont pas convaincus des plats qu’ils servent. Passez votre chemin!

Lors d’un week-​end nous nous sommes arrêtés dans ce petit restaurant entre 2 balades pour le midi. Le restaurant était plein. Nous sommes parti sur l’offre de snacking.
Le service est bon, surtout vu le nombre de tables à servir pour la seule serveuse. En revanche, le cheeseburger était moyen: la viande était trop cuite, le pain anodin. Les frites (surgelées) étaient bien cuites.
L’endroit est pas mal pour se restaurer entre 2 visites, il aurait fallu que nous goûtions les plats pour avoir un avis plus complet.

We chose this restaurant based on the 1 review already listed. I agree with everything said. We liked the location, in that it was right at the beach across from a few monuments.
We were unsure if a reservation was required, so we called and made one for 45 minutes later. We showed up on time and were seated immediately by (whom I assume) was the owner. Very welcoming and friendly, and spoke in English once he detected we were English speakers. We were seated right at the front of the restaurant, and the owner brought in the chalkboard specials for use to read, and even translated them for us.
The waiter and waitress, I assume, were his son and daughter, with his wife either running the bar or cooking. All were friendly and helpful, and seemed to appreciate it when we tried to pronounce things in French. I had the onion soup as mentioned in the other review, and it was wonderful. I ordered the Salmon «a la planche,» and it was outstanding. Perfectly cooked and moist, with great flavor. It was covered with a caper/​onion sauce, which was tart, but perfectly complimented the fish. Most entrees come with a choice of vegetable or fries. I had the fries, which were excellent, but I assume the vegetables would be just as outstanding.
My parents were with me, and one had the veal and the other cider sauce ham, which both also were well received.
Moving on to dessert, I had the plate with selection of local cheese, with butter, a little salad — excellent.
A basket of bread was provided with the meal.
As far as drinks, the wine selection was good, but I had a coke zero, served in larger glass bottles — much larger than the usual tiny European coke bottles, and ice cold.
Far superior to what one expect for a touristy place like directly at Omaha Beach.
I asked if a reservation was required, and was told «not usually,» for dinner, but that for lunch, you most likely wouldn’t get a table unless you had a reservation.
Highly recommended!

Staying nearby, the Restaurant L’Omaha was a natural choice to check out.
It’s not quite the season yet for tourists visiting the D-​day beaches, so choices around here are quite limited. Most establishments are still closed for the season.
L’Omaha is open and ready for any crowed with both indoor and outdoor sitting. The weather being what it us here on April, the indoors is the best option.
Great folks inside. Very good English is spoken. Menus in English & French, though there are frequent locals dining as well.
Decent wine list.
Food selection is not unlike most basic menus. One exception is their selection of open-​faced sandwiches and salads that I have not seen at other places. Always nice to gave the option of lighter fare with a glass of wine rather than a full blown meal.
This visit, I started off with the onion soup. Nicely served, it has the croutons and cheese on the side to add ad you wish.
My main was a delicious baked fish fillet in a creamy cheese sauce that tasted especially good along the edges where the cheese was toasted. Some sauteed green beans alongside.
My father had the steak with peppercorn sauce and frites. I’m a fan of steak and peppercorn sauce, but he found the steak slightly tougher than what he’s used to back home. I had him slice the meat smaller, and he found that easier on the chewing.
All told, I was completely happy with my fish and would recommend that dish as well as L’Omaha in general.
