Les Valseuses

7 Place de la République, Caux

​Caux' most charmingly located restaurant, open for lunch and dinner, with seating both outside the restaurant and on the tree-lined square. Service is very laid back and the vibe super relaxed. Spend the evening listening to Franc0-Latin stylings accompanied by cicadas and tasty fresh cuisine. 

​

Tête d'Anchois

20ter Place de la République, Caux

​A great pizza place in the centre of the village, mainly for take-aways. There are a few tables that are always booked so you will need to book very far in advance if you would like to sit in. For takeaway pizzas, it is best to ring when it opens at 18h to pick the collection time slot you want.
