Description: Located on the ramparts above Grande Rue, this bar/restaurant/creperie is a nice place to get away from the narrow crowded lanes of the village and also offers nice views of the Abbey and the mud flats. The menu is typical Breton food – huge, fluffy omelettes, galettes (waffles), steamed mussels, roast chicken, crepes, etc. – and a three-course meal starts at €16.
I was looking for a light lunch and wanted to sample some of the local cuisine. In a moment of madness, I ordered crème de marrons crepes and cidre au Bretonne, each costing approximately €4. Both had very distinctive flavours that would have been better enjoyed by sharing with another person, as a small taste went a long way. It wasn’t, however, a combination that went that well together – very sweet and rich chestnut cream crepes and very potent, tart cider.
The best thing about this restaurant is the outdoor terrace, especially on a sunny day. That seemed to be the opinion of most, since the terrace was full, so I sat inside. Fortunately, the large picture windows still provided good views of the countryside as well as giving me the opportunity to people-watch in comfort.
The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner and makes a nice place to take a break after exploring the Abbey.
