After relentless Crepes, we decided to try an Italian restaurant on our vacation in Saint-Malo…read more What a delight this place turned out to be. It is located off the beaten path, so search it out. We had a delicious dinner sitting outside on a coolish night. The quiet street provided us with endless entertainment, especially the very young children "break-dancing" while their parents ate next door. Now to our meal...we each got salads as entrées. Each salad comes in a side or dinner size. The side salads were quite large. My husband loved his chef salad with gorgonzola toasts. He was moaning with delight. I loved my salad with a soft, squishy mozzarella and plenty of sun-dried tomatoes. The sauces were delicious. He ordered the Pasta Carbonara on tagliatella. The pastas come in 2 sizes as well--Caesar and Plutots. He got the larger Plutots even after the waitress warned him how much there was. She was right. Doggy-Bag time!! It was creamy, cheesy and loaded with ham/bacon. I ordered the fish of the day which was Cabillaud, my new favorite. It came smothered in a light, creamy pesto sauce with a small salad and a large helping of creamy, cheesy risotto on the side. Absolutely delish! We were too stuffed for dessert. Definitely plan on coming back here before we leave.

The bolognese was among the best I've had. Thick, rich tomatoey and meaty. A lot of it! The herb seasoning was thyme or oregano and super flavorful. Haven't enjoyed pasta like this anywhere in ages. My husband had the mushroom risotto which was yummy but I didn't care, loved my bolognese so much. Great find in St Malo!

Artichoke and pickled peppers entrée followed by Veal, with pasta and cheese sauce. That's what I ordered anyway. I was so impressed with both courses that I scarcely noticed what my friends ordered. I know though they were all happy. Quantity was as I prefer. Not too much on the plate whereby you end up struggling to finish. The meal was beautifully presented and served by cheerful and efficient staff. The proprietress (I believe is actually Spanish not Italian) politely checked a couple of times to ensure our satisfaction. A good quality Soave served at exactly the right temperature. Astonishingly the four of us ate and drank well for under a 100 Euros, including what we considered to be the correct and courteous tip. I could not understand why the place wasn't packed. It deserves to be. Highly recommend.
