Came here on a whim after seeing the Formule Midi…read more 9.90 for the Plat du Jour 12.90 for E + P or P + D 15.90 for Entree + Plat + Dessert I came around 12:30pm on a Tuesday, and it took a few minutes until someone acknowledged me at the door and showed me to a table, and took even longer to receive a menu (but that's just French service, I've realized). 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.

Wandered into this restaurant while perusing downtown Rennes. Very nice place to eat. Our server…read morewas so friendly. I loved the atmosphere, perfect for a dinner conversation with friends. We were experimenting that day, so we tried a plate of frog legs (not my thing, but I had to do it once). I ordered the zander, and it was perfect. The white sauce was light and accented the flavor perfectly. Their house bread was stellar, and I couldn't get enough. Highly recommend.

It's a "classy" restaurant with good food. Oysters seem to be the thing to order here…read more The service was good and quite helpful. The younger crowd was sitting outside, where it was more informal.

I enjoyed my meal at La Paix. The headline for my review would be "this was a place all my work…read morecolleagues could agree on" during a recent business trip (pre-COVID) to Rennes. My favorite kind of food to eat in Rennes is crepes, ... my second favorite is seafood. La Paix is seafood-focused. It is not the only thing they offer, but the menu is probably half seafood and it is what they excel at. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. It is a big space and seating is spacious. The restaurant can accommodate larger groups. I think when I went we were a walk-in party of 8. The location of La Paix is tres convenient. It is close to the main transportation hub, many hotels, and it is right on the Place de la Repubilque. All but two in my party ordered the combination menus and all of us were happy with all the courses of our meals. I had the salmon and was more than satisfied. The two in my party that did not order the combination menu ordered a giant seafood platter. I ended up helping them with this. Yum. I posted a picture of the seafood platter and also the menus. The service at La Paix was definitely better than average, and the prices and value were good, especially for the combination menus. I would be happy to come here again, and I recommend La Paix.
