Good food. We came without reservation and they found a place for us. Food was good and girl who serve us was parking attention to all the tables, if drinks where finish she was right there to take order for new one. Nice place to eat and pass good time!

The best of the best in Saint-Malo! The truffle Saint-Jacques risotto was absolutely incredible — you can really taste the truffle. The rumsteak was perfectly tender, and the truffle egg starter was unbelievably good. The salted caramel crêpe for dessert was also one of the best we’ve ever had. Fast service, kind and professional staff, pet-friendly — and absolutely worth the money. They deliver both quality and care. 5 stars, no doubt!

We had been recommended to book dinner while visiting Malo, and it did not disappoint. The menu is rich, with a great wine list to match. We chose meat for the main course, each dish cooked to perfection, and paired it with a good Bordeaux wine. The dessert menu is sure to spark anyone’s imagination — from the Scandaleuse Macaron to the Éclair 19 cm de bonheur. A perfect evening to end a memorable holiday!

I wasn't sure about this restaurant in such a tourist place and area. We were not disappointed. The food was very good. The muscles were fantastic, and the staff prepared beef tartare at our table to our liking, so it was like lunch and a show. The atmosphere was pleasant on this main street and the service was accommodating. Next time in Saint-Malo we will go here just for the tartare.

5 stars while I'm still sitting at the table. What a great meal. The filet was fantastic. Great service as well.

Service was excellent and fairly quick. We got seated, dined, and paid our bill in an hour and 15 minutes. To be fair, we only ordered 2 plats (scallops and pork chops), so no appetizer, no dessert, but service was prompt. Our server's English was enough and my poor French was enough that there were no problems with the communication. So bien, merci.

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend who had visited during a past trip. We visited as a table of four and all of us were very pleased with the food. The pork chops were delicious and the Gorgonzola moules to die for!! Would absolutely recommend.
