Delicious meals with exposure to the cuisine of Normandie

Too much fish, but all meals were excellent

Most locations served delicious meals. My recommendation would be lighter fare at lunch.

Too much “fine dining” How about some simple USA food?

Some were extremely good and some just mediocre. The food could have been selected for those with more adventurous pallets. Some seafood choices would have been welcomed.

Breakfast at the hotel were excellent. Many locations were interesting but the meals themselves were skimpy and only average in quality!

Food was excellent and having a glass of beer or wine included at each meal was a nice touch. However, personally, there was too much food at each meal and I couldn't begin to eat it all. I hated to see it go to waste. I am not sure if there is a way to cut down on portions or offer a choice between half portions and full portions so that so much food isn't wasted for those of us with smaller appetites.

Some were great others left a lot to be desired

Fantastic meals and excellent restaurants.

All of the food served was very good but I would have preferred to not have dessert 2 times in 1 day.

Good variety and taste. Fast service

All of the meals followed the similar trend of meat and potatoes or rice with a sauce.

Some were excellent and a few were hit or miss

A better variety of meal styles would have been nice

Good, better than expected, but not gourmet quality. This is not a complaint. It is just my description

french love gravy.

Though mostly tasty, it would have been nice to have 2 options to pick from like we did in Mulberry. Pork with potatoes and gravy got old fast. Also, would have liked more fruit and salad included with meals. And needed snacks on the tour bus for the long days. And sodas.

some were outstanding and others so-so

Delicious. Well planned and on time. Catelyn did a great job insuring the places and their meals were on time. No complaints here. This was important since Catelyn made sure we followed the schedule without any delays.

The meals were amazing....but The hotel meals in Normandy were our least favorite. It would be great, that a few options be provided, as opposed to Chicken and fish each night at that hotel. The breakfast there was also just ok.

Excellent sampling of local foods

Simply scrumptious meals with beautiful presentation.

Almost to much food but fortunately we were able to walk it off.

My only reservation is that given the seaside location, I'd have liked to have seen more seafood.

Excellent. Your crew did a fantastic job getting us to a great place to dine and some very tasty meals. I loved to local fare, especially the cider.

Generally the food quality and quantity was very good. There were a couple of occasions that were not quite as good as the standard but nothing worthy of a complaint

I'm surprised I only gained 2 pounds! Then again, before I joined the tour group my wife and I spent seven days in Paris, mainly walking. I think we walked close to 50 miles in seven days. That takes a few pounds off you. Every meal we had was excellent! Whoever took the time and effort to scout out where to eat and what meals to have served out did themselves. I wanted to eat local dishes, I did and they were great. I enjoyed some of the best sea food I've had in quite a while. The breakfasts were just enough and tasted good. The local cider was a treat (Thanks Catelyn for recommending them).

EXCELLENT!

My personal preference is not to have a full course meal for lunch. I would have preferred a choice of something lighter like a sandwich or caesar salad. But all the food was excellent.

No meal was bad but there might have been more choices. Mercure had fish and beef two nights and fish and chicken the third. We had versions of beef stew three times. Again, all were good but might offer different selections.

Everyplace was stopped for lunch was excellent.

Outstanding

Maybe just a tad more variety. Too much pork.

Far Better than I expected! Good variety of good food.

everything was very good. no unpleasant surprises. no shortages at hotel breakfast and dinners and with a great variety. some of the establishments seemed a little overwhelmed by appearance of such a sizable crowd all at once. seating was sometimes crowded.

Apart from the fact that we had pork three times our of four or five meals in the middle of the Tour, the food was very good. Breakfast selections were varied and good. Suggest a can of Pam spray by the pancake grill and maybe even a small set of written instructions on how to make them. There was a lot of trail and error there.

The only meal I did not like was the Italian food on final night; this was first time in my life I returned food to kitchen.

Generally, meals were excellent. way more than I usually eat. One beef meal was way sub par. One beef and potatoes meal was best (Dinner-Bastogne). One lunch restaurant in France (name ?...sorry) had ONE non English speaking server. He was a teenager and totally overwhelmed by our group. It was the fancy pink joint with linen on tables and nothing to drink for first 1/2 hour

Nice variety!

I thought we could have had something better than a hamburger for dinner in Bastogne after such a great lunch.

For the most part excellent.

Breakfasts were always good. Lunches were fine, nothing special. Dinners were for the most part very good other than the buffet at Hotel Indigo the night we arrived in Savannah which was very weak. We did an Easter buffet at an airport one night which was fine, but not great.

For the most part, meals were excellent. However, eating at late hours such and 8-9PM are difficult on the digestion and sleep

The best meal was our last meal the Italian restaurant Great service and food.

Great

The meals were universally excellent. There was only one restaurant (Italian one on main street in Bastogne) that I would recommend not including on future tours, based on the long wait and absent-minded service (but the food was very good there).

We had a variety of foods at both locations. I was looking forward to trying Chamorro food and was able to try Parrot fish. I love seafood so I was in my glory there.

This was a great surprise and treat to be able to order off the menu, the restaurants were all outstanding.

I never had a bad meal on the tour and remained, fat, dumb and happy.

Great diversity of meals.

Great variety of meals. I especially liked the meals at the winery (OMG good and so much to choose from!). The selection of food at A. Roma Lifestyle made my head spin-- so much to choose from!

Final lunch was excellent. Breakfast and most lunches were just adequate.

The little out of the way places were the best, the better hotels were good to very good, but Catania was the worst, I got tired of seeing the same cold food being recycled in various forms day after day!!!

The best meals were served at the A. Roma hotel and even there the morning meal was usually cold eggs, etc.

A couple of the meals were subpar compared to meals served on the other tours that I have enjoyed with Procom.

The meals in the London portion were superb; delightful and different locations for lunch like the Sunday lunch - wow; a variety of meals and locations in the evening. Breakfasts at the hotel were so good with many choices as well as the two evening meals. The Bayeaux hotel breakfasts were not bad, the lunch in Arromanches was not that great for either choice; the lunch location near St Marie du Mont was very good with a fabulous location; the dinner in Bayeaux after visiting the cathedral (thank you) was very good; but the hotel dinner meals were not that great especially considering the choices we had in London. Of course, the locations were totally different but feel that the hotel could 'up their game' in their meal selection and preparation. Overall, it was very good.

I recognize that Italian food is a bit heavy, so I would not be overly critical. And I would also complement the food concept of the Rome I recognize that Italian food if rather heavy, so I would not criticize the food overall. However my weight could use lighter food. The Roma hotel food was fabulous.

The food was wonderful.

Food was not as bad as England. Some meals were great! ARoma had a solid selection and good quality. The restaurant where we sat in a big semi-circle was a great meal. Excellent people. It was the place that had all the animals and peacocks. The hotel we ate at in Catania (other groups Hotel) actually served something bad. I had very slight case of food poising there. Luckily, I stayed away from the one fish dish that got others sick. Most of us avoided that dish. I think most people were a little disappointed with Sicily.

Nearly all the food served during the tour was outstanding!! The only mediocre meals were the dinners served at the hotel in Catania.

could not eat the selected meal at most places and substitutes were provided but it took longer. food quality in Italy was fair at best. Should give a menu with a few options the day before for the next day rather then pick one option for all and expect everyone will like it

Since I am lactose intollerant, the farewell dinner buffet was a bit disappointing.

The only meal which I didn't like was the restaurant at Pompei.

real good food

Too many buffet dinners at the hotel especially since each had a nearly identical menu. See my comments made earlier about the hotel. With all of the fine restaurants in London, we certainly could have had at least one more meal outside of the hotel. If we must have 2 or 3 buffet dinners at the same place, then the menu must change. The service was mediocre. When items ran out, we had to ask to get more. For the outside meals, overall they were good. The one evening meal that was lasagna was the strangest lasagna that I have ever had. While tasty, it was more of a thick soup than traditional lasagna. No bread at an Italian meal? No salad? Susie did an excellent job of guiding the servers to make sure that each person got his/her meal in a timely manner. When there was a choice, her guidance and assistance to the servers was greatly appreciated. For the box lunch two comments: One, give us a choice, do not assume that everyone likes the same thing. It wold not be too difficult to announce the day before "Tomorrow we will have a box lunch. Please check whether you would like …". Two, two sandwiches? Too much food. My wife and I took one box lunch and split it.

Most meals were mediocre. Where to begin...three buffet dinners at the hotel and two were identical---terrible. The food included in the buffet was nothing to brag about. Sometimes butter ran out, or bread, etc. and you would have to ask to have more brought out. The meals at the shopping mall---average at best. The Italian dinner consisted of a bowl of soupy lasagne AND NOTHING ELSE!! No bread, no salad, nothing to accompany the main course. That was a joke. At the shopping mall, the tables were set, but when we arrived, it took "forever" for the waiters just to take drink orders. These meals were not great. I might as well have been in the U.S. eating at a chain restaurant. The Blue Boar in London was WONDERFUL! What a treat. The lunch in the Dover area was nice: bright restaurant, good service, good food (fish, soup, etc.). The box lunch: PLEASE offer a choice of sandwich to sign up for ahead of that day. Too much food in the box lunch, also. Lots of waste; my husband and I split one lunch which was still almost too much food. There was another tiny place, located between two museums or something, which was very old and we were crammed in and they had a buffet of odd things. Peculiar; and I remember the chair seats were nasty. We survived, but I think BBOB could do better. The food on this trip was not your best effort compared to other BBOB tours we have been on.

needed more choices in Normandy

Normandy needs more choices.

Ok but choices at meal time are nice when it can be arranged

food is good.... Just less dinners at the hotels... I like going to unique restaurants more then eating at the hotel buffet.

The meals were adequate. We didn't go on the tour for the food. Certainly better in Bastogne and Munich than Normandy.

The only place the food did not meet the standard of the others was the Brauhaus in Munich. I got a little stomach upset from the food.

Smaller portions

My needs were exceeded at each and every meal regardless of where they were.

great!!

I thought the meals were very average. If I travel with you folks again, I may do the budget and pay for my meals.

GREAT. Not stingy or boring.

We had great food for the entire trip.

Were very good after we left Bayeaux.

All meals were very delicious and service was excellent

I was very surprised at how good everything was, even the buffet meals.

Wonderful variety, catered to those with dietary restrictions, fresh and healthy.
