"I think this must be a new start up as I am gobsmacked that there are no reviews already here. We went on a Wednesday Night and it was very quiet. Wednesday is a quiet day in Brittany as all the kids are off school...and we could not find a taxi in the area for love or money. We were a bit dubious about entering as aside from a few people at the bar the place was very quiet but as it was already 8pm a team decision was made to give it a whirl and I am so glad we did. The levels of cleanliness and service were of the highest order and the friendly welcome we received was outstanding. You will need a smattering of French or a dictionary at least here as English is not a strong point but it added to the fun (and two or three of us are fairly fluent or fluid as it turned out). The starters wonderful snails, scallops and goat's cheese certainly grabbed everyone's attention and after a long day on the sunny coast we were more than ready for the mains, Wonderful duck, steak and tuna steak dishes appeared with generous salads (or seasonal vegetables where requested) and brilliant new potatoes. An absolute pleasure! Most everyone was happy with that, and carafe after carafe of excellent wines continued to our table long after the official closing time of 9pm. The two of our party who had sweets thoroughly enjoyed them and I feel we who went without missed a treat! Although we ended up as the only diners our evening did sot suffer for this brilliant unobtrusive AOR in the background, the flow of excellent food and wine, and the happy conversations of old friends reuniting in the foreground! The bill when it came was most reasonable. A great night in an outstanding restaurant would love to go back when it's packed. That will be soon, as, I was so taken with Brittany I am in the process of pulling stumps and retiring there! Need I say more don't miss this place see you there. Oh and the final bonus for the French staff and us English customers alike was that news filtered through that Spain were out of the World Cup as well so suddenly it was not quite so embarrassing to have an English accent!"
