"I don 't know if they were just having an 'off ' kind of day, but I really don 't think there 's anything special about their pastries, they 're so dry and I was utterly unimpressed. I bought a strawberry madeleine because they had lots of flavors on display outside and it looked good, but as soon as I took one bite I gave up because it was sooo DRY. It was just bad. Then the employees talked me into buying their really big crispy escargot croissant-like thing and it was dry as well! I honestly felt tricked because they kept saying how good it is and that I should give it a try. It 's NOT good. Not even close. It only looks good visually and that 's all, it stops there. Also, they did not care at all when they saw flies flying over their pastries, it 's just not hygienic. I also find it outrageous that they claimed they have 'the best croissant ' in Normandy. It literally tasted like one out of a supermarket that 's been lying around too long and I 'm not even exaggerating; it 's honestly laughable that they even dared to make that claim. The worst thing is when I complained about the pastries being dry they didn 't care either or want to help compensate. They just acted stuck up, saying that that 's how it 's 'supposed to be '. Well if that 's how you do it I 'm never going to try your stuff again. Pastries are NOT supposed to be dry. Overall, I don 't recommend this place, it 's overhyped and the people there act nice at first in order to sell you stuff but then act entitled and closeminded as soon as you have criticism. I 'm never returning."

"we had recommended au sablier, and the TripAdvisor reviews seemed very positiw, and we were not disappointed. we went twice, on Tuesday 23rd august 2022 and again on Saturday 27th august, which shows that we were happy after our first visit. the Tuesday evening was relatiw calm and we had no problem getting a table. Saturday was significantly more busy and therefore the employees were more busy with others, and although we probably had a table ok, we were glad that we had made a reservation. in the did, as the people would arrive more people on speckle to the available tables, and there was a little turnover of clientel from foot into the . the eating was excellent, and the entire facility was quite relaxed on Tuesday, with only a small staff team. we went for the 35€ fixed price 3 curs menu, and it wasn't until the end of the meal that we discovered the ~26€ fixed price menu that was only slightly from the more expensive menu in my review. we should have done this, and then we searched for this menu price in every restaurant we visited in the next days. note that on the weekend this cheapest fixed price menu does not seem to be available anywhere, nor was it available in au sablier on Saturday. from all restaurants we visited, this is one where we felt the most relaxed. it would be churlish not to give total appreciation, especially if compared to other places we ate. as mentioned above, we give a total excellent rating, with value for money wfm as very good. if we 'd discover the cheapest ~26€/head fixed price menu on Tuesday we gave 'd an excellent total wfm rating. we look forward to returning! merci!"
