We had called ahead to make a reservation, but could not get through: the operator said the "service did not exist." Perhaps it had closed, we thought. Since we couldn't get a reservation, we decided to just head there and take our chances. I did not tell the maitre d' that we had cruised for a half hour looking for a parking spot, but we did. Using the Apple map program for directions is a challenge in a European town you don't know, in which the announcer's French is so bad you don't have a clue what street she's talking about. We ended up in a parking garage and walked about five blocks to get there. At any rate, the maitre d' was snooty and not at all helpful. So I can't talk about the food, but the attitude is more what I would have expected decades ago. Most French are aware that tourism is a major industry for their country and act accordingly. I speak French, so he did not have that excuse. I would give it a zero for that reason, but that would make it appear I hadn't given a rating.

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.

I visited La Saint George's pre-pandemic while on a business trip to Rennes. I totally enjoyed myself and my meal. The atmosphere was classy for a crepe joint, but probably only average classy ... by French standards. La Saint George was busy on my visit and seemed like a place the locals visited frequently. The cuisine & menu is all about the crepes. The restaurant had French and English menus. My party of 2 Americans and 1 Canadian went for some crepes that were cheeseburger themed. There were cute names for all the crepes. We ordered some cider to go with our meal which was dry and delicious. We had salted caramel dessert crepes that were perfect. The service was exceptional, and the price and value received more than fair. I totally recommend La Saint George and would be happy to eat here again. Bon appetite.

Lots of velvet and funky lamps made this place seem like a nightclub/lounge better found in New York City, not in Rennes. I will admit, all of these things made me hesitate when I walked in. However, their selection of galettes was truly unique. This would be my last galette in Rennes, and I had to make it count. Enter Le Giorgio Armani. Four pieces of magret de canard topped with foie gras and a bit of caramelized apple. It was around 17€ and the most expensive thing on the menu. But it was well worth it. I couldn't believe I had four pieces of magret de canard in addition to foie gras. It was like I'd died and gone to heaven. It took me forever to eat because I couldn't stop "Mmmmm" ing and "ooooooh yummmmmm" ing. If you are looking to splurge, this is what you should get. The previous reviewer complained of dry, cold galettes. I didn't have the same experience at all. For dessert, I ordered a speculoos ice cream and Nutella crêpe. It came with a piece of hazelnut chocolate with a flag of Brittany sticking out of it (nice touch!). I loved the speculoos ice cream, but the Nutella crêpe was not particularly noteworthy. Or maybe my expectations were just too high after my galette. Don't come here unless you want something unusual. This was a perfect last crêperie for my time in France.
