Brittany, France Food Guide: 10 Seafood food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Saint-Malo
Reviews on Seafood food in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France. Saint-Malo, originally built as a walled citadel guarding the mouth of the Rance river, was for centuries home to feared pirates. They’ve all gone to Davy Jones’ Locker, though, and now it’s Brittany’s most-visited city. Walk the bustling streets of the reconstructed old city and the vast beaches, making sure to stop at the Grande Porte, Porte St-Vincent, the town’s castle with its Musée de la Ville and the Grand Aquarium.

My goal this night was moules and frites. I researched restaurants on TA and decided this one was the choice. It was easy to find after entering through the town gate and turning left. When we arrived they seated us quickly but it seemed that after they determined we were American, they avoided us. It took a long time for someone to come and take our order. When they finally did we ordered a bottle of vin blanc. My wife had a skewer of scallops and shrimp. I was disappointed in my mussels. They were too small to be enjoyed and the fries were nothing special. Instead of bothering them for dessert we walked up the street and had a ice cream.

Self-service seafood extravaganza, oysters, crab, spider crab, mussels, bullots, Pay 29.95 then just eat the night away. Champagne on ice if that's your fancy.Table cleared regularly, nothing but praise given the quality fresh seafood on offer at that price. You don't book you won't get in. Limited hrs so check.

We went for lunch on a Thursday before the season has really started and there were very few people around. The restaurant is slightly away from the majority of the "tourist" restaurants and is worth seeking out. The moules (mussels) were excellent and very good value at 11 Euro. My wife had the burger which was a real taste sensation with home made tomato sauce. Highly recommended!

Went to this restaurant for an early dinner. We had not booked but there was plenty of space. If did however quickly fill up so that by 8pm it was full and people were being turned away.We ordered galettes, I had chèvre chaud with artichoke heart, leeks and cream and my partner the seafood one with mussels, scallops in a wine & cream sauce. Both came quite quickly and looked appetising. They were tasty but both lacked crispness.For pud we had crepes with citron and lemon. These were also tasty but similarly not crisp.We complemented with a bottle of local cider.Service was good with some English spoken which was helpful.

L'Ancrage is highly rated on TripAdvisor and for this reason we choose to have dinner here. We reserved and arrived on time and were quickly seated. The restaurant is small and dark with the decor to simulate the cabin of an old sailing ship.Saint Malo is a very popular tourist destination and the restaurant seemed full with other tourist (like ourselves). Not in itself a bad sign, but the lack of local French was something to think about.... (we're French and this is always something we notice).The server arrived soon and we ordered our meals. When she returned with the wine and asked if we would like a stand for it or prefer the wine bucket placed directly on the table, before she was able to finish the inquiry the manager/owner interrupted her and ordered her not not use the stand. Again, not a big deal but her sternness with the server was impressive....Throughout the evening we witnessed the same kind of "bossiness" toward the other employees to such an extent that we and other diners were becoming uncomfortable and pitying the employees! Several times servers were effectively blocked from carrying out their duties because they had to wait for the OK from Madame the Manager. A several reprise that evening Madame the Manager loudly criticized servers in front of their clients as well as complain to the clients that without her presence, nothing would be done correctly, etc. When it came time to pay our bill, once again only Madame the Manager may touch the cash register so we had to wait while she took orders from 3 other tables (passing by us and saying that she'll be right with us) and seating new arrivals. One wonders what the servers are there for if she has to do everything. I'm not a restaurant manager but clearly Madame the Manager should consider delegation of some of her tasks.But we came for the cuisine, not to observe ineffective management, so how was it? We had a seafood platter (plateau fruits de mer) for 2 persons which included oysters, shrimp, crab, and other assorted seafood / crustaceans. Unfortunately the langoustines were very over cooked and -- let's just say that the "fresh" oysters somewhat less than fresh. On the whole, it was the lowest level of quality for a seafood platter that we've ever had. Still, not abominable but sadly less than average.Would we go again? No.

This was our second visit, last year and this - great to see that it hasnât changed. A small family restaurant serving great food at a reasonable price. You need to book as it is really popular. Weâll definitely be going back next year as well!

Would be pleased to have Les Embruns in our neighborhood back in Massachusetts! The chef knows how to prepare seafood, simply, without too much embellishment. The quality of the fish and the cooking shine through. Our Sole Meunier was as good as we have had in a lot fancier restaurants. Same could be said for the Profiteroles.There is a nice mix of locals and travelers, all being treated courteously. Prices are fair for the quality of the ingredients. The ambiance is casual elegance, the service unpretentious. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

Une belle surprise car le cadre et la déco ne payent pas de mine, mais surtout ne vous arrêtez pas à cela ! L'accueil est très chaleureux, le menu/carte vraiment attractif, tout est fait maison et même dans le petit menu, la cuisine est raffinée, imaginative et très bien présentée. Je ne suis pas fan des buffets d'entrées, mais celui-ci est très bien garni, tout comme celui des desserts...si vous avez encore faim, car les plats sont copieux. Le service est rapide, efficace et souriant, la carte des vins est courte mais la sélection est bien faite. à refaire, par contre il est fortement conseillé de réserver !

The owner taught me how to open oysters with his special techniques. I bought 3 sets of oyster openers from him as souvenirs for my family. His oysters are very fresh indeed!
