Amazing service, run by two lovely gentlemen, the food was amazing and the price is very reasonable. The moules (mussles) seemed like it was never ending. Would definitely recommend.

Maison Vermer

In a spruce house a stone’s throw from Rochebonne beach, rather than a Dutch painter, you will find a chef whose culinary ambition is to unite land and sea (hence the pun: “ver(t)”/green for the land and “mer”/sea for the… sea!). In his open-plan kitchen, he works with locally sourced produce, delivering well-balanced dishes: cream of white asparagus with shellfish and andouille sausage; soufflée of courgette flower and langoustine, tarragon emulsion; a refreshing lemon and citron dessert… Market-fresh fare, sensibly priced lunchtime menu, more ambitious in the evenings with brunch on Sunday lunchtimes.

La Fourchette à Droite

Welcome to Caroline and Étienne Corson's eminently hospitable eatery. She is in charge of the front-of-house and, left-handed, hence the fork in the restaurant's name is on the right! The dishes celebrate the best of Brittany, showcasing first-class seasonal ingredients: monkfish gravlax with creamy fennel and seaweed jam; plaice, partly mashed potatoes and mikan sauce; melt-in-the-mouth baked apple with a crunchy almond topping and cider caramel, for example. Booking is recommended, as seating is limited in the small cosy dining room.

Ar Iniz

The restaurant's menu is designed by chef Christian Le Squer. The cooking techniques are spot on, and the top-notch ingredients are expertly prepared, resulting in flavoursome dishes: delicate langoustine ravioli, beurre blanc with chives; Hereford rib steak, home fries; cheesecake-style crème brûlée. The bright, modern setting boasts an exceptional view of the beach, Plage du Sillon. In fine weather, the terrace is a must! A bargain set lunch menu is up for grabs on weekdays.

Fidelis

At their spot facing the ramparts, this professional couple are making a big splash with delicious traditional cuisine that remains true to the ingredients: salmon tartare tacos with guacamole, pico de gallo and crème fraîche; minced chicken, rice noodles, coriander, ginger, garlic and soy sauce; peanut and chocolate parfait, salted butter caramel and vanilla ice cream. A pleasant location and smiling bistro service!

Méson Chalut

In his "méson" (which means "house" in Gallo, the language of Upper Brittany), the chef-owner goes all out Breton, showcasing seafood and other regional ingredients (buckwheat, lait ribot (Breton buttermilk), Coco de Paimpol beans, salted butter) that he sources locally. Freshness, flavour and a respect for nature.

Crêperie Grain Noir

Opposite the Halle au Blé in Saint-Malo, this little crêperie is not to be missed. It serves classic galettes (buckwheat pancakes), as well as more original recipes: the "langouille" galette is with pork tongue; the "Grain Noir" with Breton trout, fresh goat's cheese, crunchy vegetables and lemon; the "Ty Nevez" with andouille from Dinan, egg, Emmental and mustard. They also serve hors d'oeuvre, such as chilli butter and raw cocoa nibs, and salted butter and seaweed tartar. Most of the ingredients are organic; the ciders and wines are natural.

Le Saint Placide

Sheltered from St-Malo’s tourist hordes in a district popular with the locals, this handsome contemporary restaurant sports a decor of organic curves, Fornasetti tableware and pendant lights by Tom Dixon. Chef Luc Mobihan, a wizard when it comes to fish, seafood and regional veggies, boasts stints at the Château de la Chenevière (Port-en-Bessin) and at the Amphitryon (Lorient), where he was the second to Jean-Paul Abadie. He conjures up enticing cuisine in the zeitgeist, such as seared scallops, chutney of confit turnips and Noilly Prat. Meanwhile, his wife Isabelle gives free rein to her love of table arts and her passion for fine wines (Champagne, Loire, Burgundy etc). Attentive service.

Le Comptoir Breizh Café

Breizh Café is the result of a stroke of genius: the idea of mixing Breton traditions with the Japanese flair for presentation. Inviting modern decor with a counter facing the open kitchen, as in Japan. Local ingredients (100% organic buckwheat, oysters from Cancale, butter from Bordier) and a few contemporary touches, such as buckwheat pancakes rolled up like maki. Good choice of ciders.
