"Amazing food! Ordered starters mains and desserts and everything was exceptional. It all came out quickly with a one man chef and it was beyond impressive. It was so good for the prices and they could have charged a lot more for the food. The servers were also very knowledgeable on the wine choices and were pleasant and helpful. 10/10 would come back again"

"Limited choice, but oh so delicious! We both took different dishes as starter and main course and enjoyed all of it. And the wines, the beers, good recommendations what goes best with our meals, really wow! Worth a detour whenever in the neighborhood!"

"This is one of those place you will always remember. The chef goes to the market and cook in function of the ingredients he find this day: not only it is fresh and homemade from appetizer to desert but the chef made a meal that is so tasty and light to digest , it is delicious and worth a Michelin star in my opinion. I recommend to make a reservation for dinner and lunch especially during the weekend. The restaurant is 10 min from the intramural city and is well worth the short drive! I should also add that it is very reasonable and both the owners are adorable! I will be back for sure if I get the chance to return in St Malo."

"When I visited to ask if they could cater for coeliac, instead of an outright 'non' which many other restaurants have done, they were so kind and helpful. Between the chef, the sommelier and me they came up with something that was safe for me to eat. When I returned they proudly announced that they even had a pudding for me. All the food and the wine (chosen for us!) was absolutely delicious"
