Head towards Balleroy from Bayeux and just after you have passed through the multitude of artisanal potteries you may notice on your right a collection of garden sheds.
This is Chalet de la Frites, an eccentric and popular destination for a variety of dishes that all go well with chips: Not just any chips but good old fashioned home made chips.
Choose from such delights as rabbit with leeks, chicken with cider, petit sale, moules, steak etc. , old fashioned starters like egg mayonnaise and mackerel in mustard sauce, puddings such as Togoule (Norman rice pudding) and crepes, superb unfiltered and unpasteurised farm made cider and well priced wine. The most expensive main course is €10 and a three course meal with drinks should come in under €20.
Claude the Patron and Chef is temperamental and has been known to do a Marco Pierre White once in a while, but only usually when there is criticism of his Guinea Pigs that roam free between the chalets.
Chalet is open from Easter until early October, if you go at the start or end of the season remember to take a fleece.
