I stopped by 30 minutes before they closed at 7pm on a Wednesday evening, and got their last Mont Blanc (€4,50) to go. WOW. I am so so so happy that I decided on this one instead of another cake that I was looking at. Mont Blanc's are my favorite cake, and this one now ranks 2nd in my list of favorite Mont Blanc's. Let me tell you why: 1. The size is absolutely adorable. I've had other one's (Angelina in Paris, Mr. & Mrs. Renou in Geneva) where there was just TOO much cream (yes, there's such thing as too much cream) that it became overpowering and way too sweet to eat. 2. THEY. USE. AN ALMOND PIE TART. AS. A. BASE. Can we talk about how creative and different that is!? I've had ones that are a sponge cake, macaron, meringue, and sable, but never a whole tart underneath! And this tart was absolutely amazing too - the pie crust wasn't sweet at all which helped balance the sweetness of the chestnut cream & almond paste filling. 3. No meringue, just whipped cream. Chestnuts instead of a chestnut cream inside. 4. Perfect amount of stiff, creamy, sweet chestnut cream on the outside. Everything about this dessert was amazing. It's been a whole 24 hours since I ate it, and it's still all I can think about.

I visited La Saint George's pre-pandemic while on a business trip to Rennes. I totally enjoyed myself and my meal. The atmosphere was classy for a crepe joint, but probably only average classy ... by French standards. La Saint George was busy on my visit and seemed like a place the locals visited frequently. The cuisine & menu is all about the crepes. The restaurant had French and English menus. My party of 2 Americans and 1 Canadian went for some crepes that were cheeseburger themed. There were cute names for all the crepes. We ordered some cider to go with our meal which was dry and delicious. We had salted caramel dessert crepes that were perfect. The service was exceptional, and the price and value received more than fair. I totally recommend La Saint George and would be happy to eat here again. Bon appetite.

The name comes up often when asking locals about the best crêperie in Rennes. To be honest, the…read moreplace is a little too trendy-looking for me. Lots of velvet and funky lamps made this place seem like a nightclub/lounge better found in New York City, not in Rennes. I will admit, all of these things made me hesitate when I walked in. However, their selection of galettes was truly unique. This would be my last galette in Rennes, and I had to make it count. Enter Le Giorgio Armani. Four pieces of magret de canard topped with foie gras and a bit of caramelized apple. It was around 17€ and the most expensive thing on the menu. But it was well worth it. I couldn't believe I had four pieces of magret de canard in addition to foie gras. It was like I'd died and gone to heaven. It took me forever to eat because I couldn't stop "Mmmmm" ing and "ooooooh yummmmmm" ing. If you are looking to splurge, this is what you should get. The previous reviewer complained of dry, cold galettes. I didn't have the same experience at all. For dessert, I ordered a speculoos ice cream and Nutella crêpe. It came with a piece of hazelnut chocolate with a flag of Brittany sticking out of it (nice touch!). I loved the speculoos ice cream, but the Nutella crêpe was not particularly noteworthy. Or maybe my expectations were just too high after my galette. Don't come here unless you want something unusual. This was a perfect last crêperie for my time in France.

The interior is a little strange - the furniture is beautiful and matches the beautiful outside of the restaurant, but some decorations and wall art seem a little out of place. Bathroom is on the second floor of a very windy staircase. I ordered the Ouef Mollet, Salmon Risotto with Fine Herbs, and Moelleux Chocolat. The starter was a soft boiled egg on top of mushrooms cooked in wine. The egg was runny and helped balance out the strong flavor of the mushrooms. They also give you a side of bread, which was perfect for soaking up the sauce. The main course salmon wasn't very seasoned (again, it's a French thing to under-season, apparently), but I liked that the skin was crispy and the flesh was soft and flaky. The risotto wasn't as creamy as I was hoping, but the fine herbs were very prominent. There was also a lemon cream sauce that encompassed the rice, which made a nice addition to the salmon. Portion size was also satisfactory. The moelleux chocolate came warm, but I know it was sitting out for a while before reaching my table, because the ice cream had melted significantly. The inside of the cake wasn't as fudgy as I would have liked, which was a real bummer because I've had really good moelleux chocolat during my time in Rennes. I found a piece of foil in my cake, and after telling the server, she said (not nicely or rudely, very matter-of-factly) "well, it's made in a foil cup so they can't help it" All in all, great food, good value for the price, and every dish that I saw other tables ordering looked delicious.

They're located very close to the Parc du Thabor, and I LOVE that they have an English menu, and the staff speak English. You can choose to sit inside or outside, and if the weather starts to get cold outside, they offer you blankets. Not all creperies are made equally - I love this one because of their handcrafted ice creams that really elevate their crepes and galettes. I got the Indulgente (11,80) which comprised of Smoked Scottish Salmon, goat cheese, homemade leek fondue, salad of the day, and Roquefort handcrafted ice cream. It took around 10 minutes for my galette to come out even though there was only one other order in front of me - but no complaints because I'm guessing that's the time it takes for perfection to be made. This was absolutely amazing. Two nice slabs of goat cheese underneath thinly sliced smoked salmon, wrapped in a thin and crispy galette, topped with green salad (basically just lettuce lol) and leek fondue (this was basically just steamed leeks in my opinion), accompanied by a scoop of the Roquefort ice cream on the side. The galette was amazing by itself, and all the components elevated it to another level. The Roquefort ice cream was sweeter and creamier than I had imagined. I normally would NEVER choose anything that had Roquefort because it's similar to bleu cheese, which I absolutely cannot stand. But I found myself trying to scoop out every last bit of this ice cream as I could. I originally was just going to be on my way after having that one galette, but the woman next to me had ordered a crepe and I got drawn into getting a dessert myself, after the server handed me the menu once more. I got the Marronmania (8,50) which was a crepe with chestnut cream, handcrafted chestnut honey ice cream, and homemade whipped cream. My mouth is watering just thinking about this. The crepe itself was slightly sweet and absolutely delicious. The marron cream was creamy and smooth, and the ice cream tasted more like honey than chestnut, but was delicious nonetheless. The whipped cream!! It was amazing! I know it's just whipped cream but it was extremely light and fluffy, just a little bit of sweetness, and paired so well with the crepe. Needless to say, I am a huge fan of this place, and am dying to try their other creations. You can also get just the ice cream if you'd like, and they have menu formulas if you're down to try a set menu that they offer for a cheaper price.

I tried this place because the Lunch Menu caught my eye. There are two different lunch menu options: 8,90 for a galette and a simple crepe 14,60 for a galette and a dessert crepe They also have a children's set menu for 6,90 with a plate choice, crepe/ice cream, and a drink I opted for the 14,60 menu and ordered the Saint-Yves Galette and Crepe Locronan Galette Saint-Yves (originally 9,10 if you order ala carte): crushed potatoes, caramelized onions, andouille sausage, honey mustard sauce This one was much different than what I was expecting. There was a hefty portion of honey mustard sauce, and although it was good, it started to get a little too much, and made the galette slightly soggy. The andouille on the top was much oilier than I would have liked, and had many fatty parts to it. The inside was the best - the potatoes and onions were very soft and delicious. The galette itself was also much thicker than other creperies that I have visited. Crepe Locronan (originally 6,90 if you order ala carte): caramelized apples, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream I usually don't get anything with apples, but since the dessert selection was limited for this menu option, I decided to give this one a go. The crepe, like the galette, was also much thicker than I'm used to, and it was a lot sweeter than other places as well. The apples were caramelized wonderfully, and gave it the most flavor out of all the other components. My server was very friendly from the beginning - he acknowledged and sat me promptly, and when I told him I didn't speak French, he proceeded to speak to me in English, and was very helpful with the menu and any questions that I had. All in all, the experience was great, and for a full stomach on 14,60, it was a great value (I paid around ~21 for the same portions at a different restaurant last week). However, I don't think I'll be back, simply because the bases of the items (the galette and crepe) were too thick for my liking. Nonetheless I'm glad I gave this place a chance!

Having lived in Quebec City and spending lots of time…read moregoing across the border from VT, I'm a poutine aficionado who even brings the fresh fromage en graine (cheese curds) home the day they're made and makes poutine. Although the cheese curds were fairly spot on and fresh, sadly, the sauce brune lacked flavor. I would've liked to season it with even some salt to make it a bit more savory. The burger also lacked flavor and the bacon wasn't crisp. I hate to admit that I prefer the poutine at Chez Ashton which is literally the very fast food version of poutine in Quebec). The la Masquée beer on the other hand was delicious. I'd go back just for a beer. I did think it was neat that they'd named dishes after Les Canadiens players (Allez Les Habs!) and that they've brought flannel cool to Rennes, but it just missed the mark a bit too much for my tastes. They do carry Ben & Jerry's ice cream (always makes me giggle to see my neighboring ice creamery in France-seriously, the factory is across my backyard) for those missing those fun flavors or for trying them for the first time.

There's also a few sweet selections that caught my eye (the Crazy Chocolate Cake that someone in front of me ordered looked ahhmazing). You order at the counter, and they give you a receipt with your number on it. I did takeaway so I went back outside to the window, where they hand you a paper bag containing the delicious contents. If you're eating in, I suppose you just find a table, and they call your number out when it's ready. I love that you can see them making the food right from the window. I got the Grizli (Two strips of bacon, mushrooms, and parsley with brown sauce and cheese curds). The classic size is 8.50 euros for 400g, but there's an option to make any of the menu items a mini size (200g) for -2 euros. So, my mini Grizli came out to 6.50 euros. The portion was perfect for a small Asian girl like me. The food was hot and fresh, and the brown sauce covered 95% of the frites. I loved the bacon, which was super salty, because the rest of the frites weren't too seasoned. The mushrooms were sautéed nicely in a butter I'm guessing. The only negative I have about this was that the cheese curds were a little.. squeaky? I've only had poutine once in Canada so I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to be. The cheese taste was good, just the texture was a little weird for my liking.
