The
restaurant is up for sale, Regis and Maria having departed to
pastures new! We will advise readers of new developments!
Called Le Café des
Sports and many people still call it by this name, the restaurant
received the most favourable review in the Financial Times which
it certainly deserved.. Always packed with diners at lunch time.
Sea Food is amazing. Value is amazing. A variety of
vegetables appear on your plate. You will want to go back there again.
Monday is official closure day but a workmen's menu is served.
The restaurant has just changed hands but we are advised that the
same excellent menu is available.
Even
if you are not a golfer you can enjoy the restaurant at the Garden
Golf at Tremereuc, close to Pleurtuit Airport. Florence and Albert produce delightful food and serve good
wines! Their menus contain some surprisingly tasty items which are
different from the normal local menus and representative of food
dishes further into France and for chip lovers their chips are
deliciously home made Prices are reasonable and there is also a
snack menu including steak and chips, omelettes etc. Either sit inside the restaurant or on the terrace in the
sunshine. The terrace is surrounded by landscaped gardens with a view of the
beautifully landscaped course.
This little restaurant on the seafront at
St. Briac. The
food is wonderful, the atmosphere is as well

La
Gonelle is situated on the Promenade du Clair du Lune in Dinard.
Opening between May and October, the restaurant describes itself as
an Oyster, Lobster and Seafood Bar where you can eat or take your
food away. Well it is the most upmarket "take-away" we know!
It is possible to sit outside on the little terrace, enjoy the view
and the superb seafood menu. The restaurant specialises in
fish and has a huge sea water aquarium where your main course may be
swimming! Lucie, a charming waitress from the "Midi" in
France, is seen pictured here in front of the aquarium doing
what she says is a "fish" imitation. The preparation and
presentation of the dishes is first class and includes dishes
such as Sea Bass served between layers of filo pastry,
Cotriade, or Lobster. 
La
Passerelle is the sister restaurant to La Gonelle and as its name
indicates is a passageway. However this passageway serves a
range of Carpacio and Sushi that will delight those who enjoy marinated or raw fish and meat. For those whose tastes differ
there are alternatives although the restaurant concentrates mainly
on the two styles mentioned. The decor is a combination
of purples and mauves and very attractive. The view -
particularly at night time - is fabulous. Service is good and
so are the wines which are served in glasses with purple stems
encrusted with vines and grapes. La Passerelle is entered via steps
from the Promenade Clair du Lune located just before La Gonelle.
The Editor's grandchildren
refer to this as "The Restaurant in the Sky". I do not think I
need describe the view. The restaurant is in the top of the water
tower. Food is simple but excellent - prices reflect this.
The menu includes 2 pages of gallettes with innumerable fillings
including scallops flambéed in
Calvados, salads and Grillades. The Grillades are mostly steak
but come with a choice of sauces ranging from pepper to more
exciting ones prepared specially by the establishment.
Desserts are heavenly and there is a page of mouth-watering crepes
to choose from. A place for morning coffee and afternoon teas and
ice creams as well as meals. I will mention the view however - from
the observation area, which encircles the restaurant inside -
one can see all around the area as far as Mont St Michel, Dinan and
St Jacut! Le
Château d'Ho is siutated in Ploubalay which is close to the airport at
Pleurtuit and Dinard.
Le Narval
Combines an English Pub
atmosphere with French food. A particularly good place to dine
with children. In addition to the many selections of main
courses, you can cook the meat of your choice yourself on a
charcoal filled table top brazier. Delicious sauces
accompany this meal. You get the range of vegetables we "funny"
English favour.

was Le Ty Corentin
been vastly improved and skilful decor is
complemented by beautiful place settings! Food is wonderful!
The picture on the left shows the improvements being made to the
terrace which is being partly covered and heated for colder days. Place for full
meals, snacks, coffees and drinks and will provide a delightful
surprise for its regular clientele this year! 
You must go here!!!!
The restaurant is just across the Viaduct at Dinan and has panoramic
views over the River Rance. Henri and Annick are the husband and wife
team who own the Bistrot du Viaduct. Standards are superb.
Restaurant decor is a copy of Monet's house at Giverny. Dishes
are a copy of no-ones, they are exclusively Henri's - owner and chef
who has won countless culinary awards. Henri cooks in the bar in
front of diners and keeps a horse whip close by for those customers
who get out of hand.
