This little restaurant / cave à vins stands in the center of Brest. We had three glasses of different kind of wines and a cheese plate, seated at the counter. A few days letter we came back for a proper lunch. We chose a toasted camembert with honey and green salad, a plate with vegetarian dishes, haddock with cockles plus vegetables and for the desert a pear and chocolate crumble. We drank red organic wine.
Good points :
- Different interesting organic wines
- Local food (vegetables, bread, butter etc.). For example cheese from the fromager affineur Sten Marc's
- Lovely place, welcoming and authentic. The garden is charming and the second room super lightly.
- Agreeable staff, thoughtful and which give good advice
To be improved :
- The place is open as a wine bar but it is more a restaurant. We arrived at 6 PM and it was obvious that the preparation of the diner was the priority for the staff. We had quiet the feeling to disturb the preparation of the following meal.
- Only one veggy dish. Moreover even if the turnips, the cabbage, the carrots were delicious and even if the pumpkin soup was tasty the dish had too much (good) potatoes.
- The seasonings have to be improved.
- The dessert was good but not outstanding. The pear was perfectly cooked and the chocolate was not over sugared but the crumble mix was OK. read more
