Perché sur la cité d'Alet , un panorama tout à fait exceptionnel vous plonge dans la contemplation. L'anse Solidor et sa tour, l'estuaire de la Rance ou encore les plages de Dinard retiennent l'attention à peine relevé les yeux de son assiette. C'est peut-être de ce paysage fabuleux que Denis Gerbert tire son inspiration pour élaborer une cuisine raffinée à base des produits frais de la région. La Cotriade façon corderie n'a pas son pareil et le poisson du marché agrémenté de petits légumes ne peut que ravir les papilles des gastronomes.

This was a super small, super cute restaurant in the old city. It had the smallest oysters we…read morefound in the city which are my favorite. As such, our meal was on a good start. The fish soup was also quite good, although a bit on the salty side. My daughter and I shared the duck breast. It was good, but I have had better. The piece de resistance and the reason I give this restaurant 5 out of 5 is the tar tar. It is by far, the best tar tar I have had. It was an original concoction with walnut oil and thai basil instead of the traditional ketchup/tomato based sauces. It was fantastic and so much taste. It was a nice change to all the seafood and well worth the trip. The staff were also very friendly and especially kind to kids. Although housing only a few tables, there were about 6 young kids in the restaurant and the wait staff found it all entertaining.

The salad was not very tasty, too much fatty bacon and too much honey which made it a bit fad, fat and sweet. The mussels very great and lived up their description without being extraordinary. Nice fries again nothing special. Would come back if I could remember it. Chances are I won't.
