Plan 1: eat some crêpes on Mont St-Michel.
Nope, all the crêperies are closed at this hour.
Plan 2: eat some moules frites and hope it doesn't take too long, we're on a tight schedule.
Nope, there are two moules-frites places that get about the same ratings everywhere and we can't decide. So we flip a coin and end up here.
And are very glad because these are the best mussels I've ever eaten.
Perhaps it's a given because they are probably caught right here, but they tasted extremely fresh and not like fish whatsoever, and the sauce quite salty in a marine sense, filled with butter and white wine, with some quite good fries to accompany them. My buddy ordered the curry version and it reminded me favorably of a Thai seafood curry, but I came for the original version and was not in the least disappointed. And at 11.50 euro for a gigantic platter of mussels, it's quite a bargain for the location.
Sadly the amount of time invested in eating this platter severely limited my time on the Mont itself, but I will always remember this meal and hold all mussels to this standard from now on.
Bref, en français : Ici on peut manger les meilleures moules dans le monde, pour autant que je sache ! La sauce contient du vin blanc, de la beurre, de l'oignon, et du persil, comme il faut, mais sa saveur est parfaite et les moules goûtent extrêmement fraîches ! Elles sont pas chères pour cette location aussi ! Je vous en supplie, allez ici si vous visitez le Mont St-Michel ! read more
