The restaurant of Hotel Castelbrac is named after the boat of Commander Charcot, a famous polar explorer. Born in Dinan, chef Julien Hennote has also explored other culinary universes, from the French Riviera to Polynesia.

Booking is recommended, as seating is limited in the inviting little dining room.

Welcome to this cheerful wine bar in the heart of the illustrious historic walled city. The owner-sommelier, proud to be a “born and bred” Breton, scours France to unearth excellent tipples. In the kitchen, her husband celebrates local produce: mackerel, leeks and ginger; loin of cod with a seaweed butter and artichoke cream.

This small restaurant in the city centre sits neatly in a corner building sporting the characteristic grey stone of Saint-Malo. At the helm is chef Victor Betton, once a fencing champion, who deftly dishes up generous cuisine. A devotee of fine food, he searches out the best ingredients within a 50km radius.
