That said, do not let the lack of a more defined name fool you since this was our favorite meal of the entire trip and clearly they have a talented chef! It even has views of the nearby lake. We ordered the chefs price fix menu for about €36 and it's the best deal in France. Not only did they bring us extra courses in between our main courses, it also included foie gras, beef fillet and a grand mariner soufflé for desert. The soufflé was excellent and felt like we were tasting the clouds! The wine list was of decent size but they had great vintages of Bordeaux and burgundy. We had a 2009 Bordeaux that went very well with the filet. The next time I'm in France... I'm going back to this restaurant. Compliments to the chef!

I had the tuna, which was perfectly cooked and surrounded by a succulent puree of red peppers with leeks. The wife had the lamb, which she also said was delicious. For a starter we tried the scallops in a cream sauce--so tender and NOT overcooked. Desert was a homemade mille feuille that used whipping cream instead of pastry cream, making it much lighter than your usual mille feuille. The service was brisk and efficient. If you can get a table on the terrace, go for it. The restaurant was packed on a Thursday night so be sure to make a reservation and expect tight tables--typical in France. The place as crowded with happy locals, a sure sign that it delivers great food at a fair price.

Dinner in Mont Saint-Michel, France…read more.. We tried to dine at La Ferme Saint-Michel on the evening that we arrived, but we didn't have a reservation. My assignment from my friends was to get a reservation for 7:30pm for a party of 4 for the next day. I emailed the restaurant, then booked online. Everything was in French, so I guessed at how to answer the usual questions: How many in the party, time, and date requested. We parked for free in the gravel lot and walked in to a busy environment. Our table was in a connecting room where it seemed brighter and calmer. I chose the set meal for 45€. My starter was the duck salad which was nice and refreshing. The main entrée was the Salt Marsh Lamb Shoulder. It seemed like a patty made from shredded meat. Strange, but tender and moist! The dessert was Pont D'Orson. The cookie between the baked apple and scoop of ice cream was like the bridge between Mont Saint-Michel and the mainland. This restaurant was large and on the noisy side. It was an interesting foodie experience!

While it tasted fine and the cook was good (mine was rare, which was what I asked for), the steak was paper thin. And yes, a "entrecôte" is thinner traditionally than an American ribeye cut, but this was thin even with that in mind, think fast food burger thin. Not worth the cost nor how I would expect a ribeye from a good restaurant to be. The good. The rest of the food was fine, not spectacular, but enjoyable. My wife got the octopus and it was great. Caviar as a side was good. The service was also friendly and patient with us, given our French was lacking. The neutral. Bit crowded with small tables. We were outside and the wind was a problem, it was around 9pm.

One of the best restaurants in Dinan and definitely one of our favorites in France so far. Came in on a Saturday night at 9pm without a reservation, and luckily we were seated in the last table available. The hostess was sweet, spoke English, and was extremely helpful regarding the menu and translations. Best yet, they were very casual about the menu -- anything can be ordered as a starter or as a main, and they're not sticklers to the rules about French dining that most restaurants seem to have. First, the amuse-bouche: whipped cucumber cream with oyster leaf -- a leaf that actually tastes like oysters! Different, and delicious. I'm not a huge fan of actual oysters, but I totally dig the leaf. Here's a pro tip: any time they offer scallops, order them! They were doing a special scallop menu, but I just had the scallops with risotto as a starter. Not kidding, I would have licked the plate clean. So amazing and perfectly cooked. For my main, I had the duck confit, which was served on a warm potato and bacon salad, and accompanied by mixed greens. The meat was amazingly tender and less fatty similar dishes I've had in the past. If I were in Dinan longer, I'd visit again. Thumbs up!
