But mostly by the taste. I have never tasted oysters quite as delicious as these Brittany oysters. Most in our party agreed. Our party of 6 must have eaten about 10 dozen. A few of us tried the fish soup based on recommendations. I found that pretty tasty too. Not a lot of English spoken here, but we either spoke enough bad French or they understood enough English for us to make our way through the evening.

We went on a rainy winter day and enjoyed the wine, seafood and desserts. Strongly urge anyone visiting the Cancale area to plan a meal (lunch so you can benefit from the view, or earlyish summer dinner) at this location. You won't be sorry! Reservations are recommended!

Fresh oysters on the boardwalk for breakfast! Yummers!…read more A French friend insisted we have fresh oysters for breakfast since we were at St. Malo, about a 30 min drive away. I was a little skeptical, but heck, I'm in France, and if this is a French thing to try, why not??? So we made the drive, found a paid parking lot near the pier, then took a short walk along the boardway & pier to this place where several vendors have set up tents with trays of different kinds of oysters. All the oysters are from the sea in Cancale - and VERY fresh! So we picked some trays of different varieties, paid cash, and they shucked it open on the spot, provided lemons to squeeze onto the oysters and napkins to wipe up, and we were off! There is a limited amount of table and seating nearby, so if you're lucky, you park yourself in the open air and enjoy your oysters. So very fresh, they are still alive when shucked, full of different flavors.... I was glad I accepted the breakfast invitation! After you're done, you take your tray with the empty shells, remove the lemons and napkins, and just throw the shells onto the beach nearby. Then you toss the lemons and napkins into a nearby trash receptacle, return your empty tray to the vendor you purchased your oysters, and all pau! So... fresh oysters for breakfast - I fully endorse it! Bon appetit!

Parking is free before a certain time and is pretty reasonable once it becomes for pay. When you get there, you are greeted by 4-5 oyster stands all carrying different sizes and types of oysters. I chose a DOZEN wild large oysters which were shucked and lemons provided for a total of 6.50 Euro. WTF? It costs like $3 plus tax and tip per oyster at most oyster bars here in San Francisco!! Anyhow, you just sit at the picnic table next to the market slurping down your freshly shucked oysters and frisbee throwing the shells into the ocean whence they came. The oysters were full of briny flavor - more than some of the high end oysters here in the Bay Area. Mind you, I had this at 9 am for breakfast.. maybe a bit hardcore for some people but I loved it haha.. Basically, if you're an oyster fan - do yourself a favor and come here if you're in the area. I think it's definitely a secret gem that most tourists don't know about.

Favourite restaurant in the world. Unparalleled in my limited experience. The kind of dining…read moreexperience I talk about for months and years after I eat here. Chef Roellinger changed the way I see food. He changed the way I prepare and present my ceviche. He changed the way I use salt. I am a lover of spice, used to calling myself a connoisseur. I learned humility at this restaurant's table. I rediscovered what it is to savour every bite, to marvel at the marriage of tomato and dessert, to relearn curry, coming from a culture where roti is bread, channa is peas, and chutney is confiture. The chateau overlooks the sea, the record breaking tide unveiling miles long sand and Mont St Michel in the near distance. The table settings, votives of seeds and flowers are reminiscent of what you see through the windows. My first plate here, I remember thinking, a piece of the ocean was presented on my plate. I had white fish in a frothy fennel reduction. I tried for weeks after to recreate the experience. Technique is everything at this level of dining. The dessert is an onslaught of the sugar cavalry. It's everything you expect at a mad hatters tea party: fantastical, unusual pairings of things you expect to be savoury but they turn out to be sweet- plus all the classics. And they come in tiered platters on wheels until you say stop. I'm not even a dessert person but here is a place where yes is usually the right word.

With sea views and a terrace overlooking the shoreline, approached through attractive gardens, the restaurant's situation already feels special. The food and excellent service reinforce those first impressions. The menu is particularly strong on seafood, beautifully and imaginatively cooked (Roellinger is renowned for his sophisticated use of spices); the bread is baked on-site. The dessert trolley is something of a highlight, though: a gorgeous, ever-changing selection including ice creams, tarts, caramels and much more. You are encouraged to try as many as you like and everything is superb! While the restaurant is not cheap, it certainly offers excellent value both for the quality of the food and for a lovely overall experience.
