L' Aviron

Reviewed By BossPrestonUK

I have reviewed this restaurant before but it seems to get better every time we visit!! This time with our sister and friends, we pre-booked for lunch to ensure getting a table as people queue to get in. The food was, as ever, excellent. I had the moules which although small due to the weather, were sweet and tasty. My wife chose the ham which she loved for its taste and tenderness. The staff were very attentive and pleased that we loved the food.

Le Bout du Quai

Reviewed By Griso_man

We got a tip from a French couple we met in St Malo that the seafood in this restaurant was outstanding. We were not disappointed. Oysters were the best I have had, foie gras was lovely. Main of langoustines flambéd with whiskey and the other main of cod was lovely. Tip reserve a table by phone and ask for a table by the window. Cheese board was really well done with accompanying relish or balsamic or honey for each cheese. Service exceptional. Fruit de mer looked outstanding. This is a must visit restaurant!

L'Arriere Cour

Reviewed By glen C

Without a doubt the food was expertly prepared - superb fish dishes. We enjoyed wonderful oysters followed by tasty choices from the specials board. In itself that would have warranted more stars but, from a subjective perspective, the invasive nature of the staff was an interruption to our enjoyment. There is a big difference between being ‘up oneself’ and knowing that your food is good.

L'Atelier de L'Huitre

Reviewed By Peter R

I followed up on a trip advisor recommendation for the best oyster restaurant in Cancale for our friends and they weren't disappointed. Only one of the friends had the oysters and he was pleased as punch. The other seafood range was restricted due to this place being special for oysters. Anyhow the others had a nice arrangement of various seafood. The staff were lovely and the price was fairly good considering we had drinks as well.

Reviewed By CurrySpice

Hmm. What to say? The hotel is indeed charming and in a lovely position on the sea front. The terrace is well positioned and popular. But. Half hearted weary check in. Had to climb over discarded mattresses and linens to get to our (admittedly nice) room. What spoils it is the service on the terrace. Off hand. Rude. Slow. Not a thank you to be had. For the first time in 10 days on France we felt unwelcome. And it is more than 2km walk into town. Not the 1 the hotel claims. So bear that in mind. On the whole, disappointing. Look elsewhere. Dear Mister curryFirst of all, thank you to take your time to give us your impression, we will appreciate that you told us when you checked out, about the check in, if you saw the linens on the floor, it's because you arrive in advance and we gave you the key before the check in time, and we don't put on the floor the mattress.In the restaurant I'm really disappointed if you get this feeling our team try to do the best to satisfy all of our guests.And to finish, when you ask how far is the old city, we are speaking in time and not in km, the distance is about 20 minutes walking it depends the sense of the windBest regardsAnne

Deux Degres Ouest

Reviewed By Francis_Eastwood

Due to the reviews we expected a lot from this place. In retrospect we realize: some things were good, many things were not. Both appetizers were disappointing, the ravioli watery, the beetroots close to tasteless. Of two times calf one was massively tough. The pre-ordered dessert was sold out at the end. Conclusion: disappointing.Dear Francis, First of all thank you for your review. Your remarks imply an answer from us.The ravioli (which are 3) are not "watery". They came on plate with a celery water wich is a full part of the receipe. It's a shame that you didn't undersand that as it is written on the menu.The beetroot may not been your taste but how could be a beetroot tasteless ! It's marinated into red wine sauce and comes on plate with sour cream spum, smoked duckling breast, wild peppers mix and fines herbs ! Maybe the beetroot wasn't what you expected as you asked our waitress many times "what is a beetroot ?" ! I'm also really suprised about one the calf beeing "tough" as both of your pieces comes from the same animal. Nevertheless you didnt asked us for another one we would had been pleased to prepare again especially for you.Finally, again, we aplogogize that the chocolate dessert you pre-order wasnt avaiblable but I personnaly decided to don't serve it as it didn't meet the quality level that I impose on kitchens.
