Greedy Guts has established itself as a popular Caen hangout serving a wide range of light bites and small dishes.

Specialising in vegan cuisine, this restaurant in the heart of Le Havre serves delicious dishes including tofu with rice and chocolate banana bread, all prepared using local, organic products. Manager Mélusine’s vision is simple; to provide vegans with some much-needed variety when dining out. Also well worth a visit is Casse-Noisette’s little brother Expresso Patronum, an all-in-one coffee shop, tea room and tapas bar.
