Stopped here for lunch whilst following a walking tour of Honfleur (map obtained from the Tourist Office). There was a quirky retro vibe by way of decor and furniture throughout the cafe. Enjoyed a Croque Monsieur which was served with a generous portion of chips and a nice side salad. Washed down with coffee and a jug of tap water. Other meals served to neighbouring tables looked equally impressive. There were plenty of wines and beers available. Also available apparently are cocktails and tapas and occasionally live music. Service was friendly efficient and prompt. Toilets on the first floor (accessed via a tight spiral staircase) were clean and pleasant. There are also more tables on the...
Enticed to this cafe after hearing great music from the street. We ordered our first drinks and everything was fine - music and vibe was great. I then ordered a 2nd round of drinks, and the barman proceeded to fill my beer (1664) into my original glass. I complained and wanted a fresh glass. He then made a big fuss to indicate my request was unreasonable. - and poured into a new glass without any care or attention, supplying me with a beer with so much froth. I then made a further comment to him that he had short measured me, which he reluctantly corrected. The beers were not cheap at nearly 16 euros for 2 kronenbourg 1664s. We shortly departed and spent the rest of the evening elsewhere
I have never met such a rude and arrogant barman as the one we found in this bar. We were a group of 12 golfers, so our value to the bar was potentially good. The first night we spent there was fine, because there were a couple of very pleasant girls working the bar, the second was a different matter. There was a little man with glasses and a fashionable moustache working the bar who was rude, antisocial and arrogant. we were made to feel positively unwelcome. We spent the rest of our time and money in The Café Paris across the road.
I think I count as a regular customer, having been here three years running on our last day in France after cycle tours of Normandy.If the weather suits, sit on the outside benches or the tables opposite. You are right by the old custom house and harbour, picturesque and good for people-watching. The service is attentive, the food good and the portions on the generous side. (full admission, we always have moules frites, but the dishes others are having also look good.)

We enjoyed the most delightful lunch at Le Vintage Cafe on our pass through Honfleur! Super cute restaurant & great vibe! The service was excellent, and the food and wine delicious! We absolutely loved the croque-mosieur, salad & French fries. Highly, highly recommend! I would be remised if I didn't mention how cute & charming the town of Honfleur was! Wished we had more time to explore as it was one of the cutest towns in Normandy that we had a chance to stop at!
My husband and I went to Le Vintage Cafe on Dec 17 for a night cap and ended up spending more than 2 hours listening to a very nice band....the kir royal was spot on with the lovely band playing made it a very pleasant night....the guy at the bar was very polite and the French people around us were lovely....then we went back on Dec 24 afternoon for a couple of drinks and sat outside watching the world go by, very pleasant indeed. It is worth a visit!!!!
Popped in for lunch as we were busy and wanted to avoid the touristy cafes around the marina. We both had the croque chevre and the monsieur. I've been eating these in France for 30 years and these are the best I've had. Everything on the menu is home made so perfect! Only 8 euros each and that includes fries and a salad, we washed it down with local cider. They also have great jazz here in the evenings.
Had drinks here on 2 evenings. Due to the location you pay a little more but the service was good as was the beer, also had live music which was pleasant

Great live band on Saturday 1st July. Great food too. Very pleasant staff. Band did all contemporary covers and did three sets.
Great spot to grab a drink and people-watch. Gorgeous views of the harbor. Servers were always attentive, but never rushed us.
