Domaine de la Barbinais

A not-too-imposing and rather romantic manor house, a magical view of the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel... and a true culinary epic. After a first life in the merchant navy, Hugo Roellinger refined his kitchen craft with modesty; today, his menu "At the whim of the wind and the moon" is a poetic voyage which holds you breathless from start to finish and offers a particularly personal vision of Brittany. Here, seafood is magnified with fluidity, delicacy and a naturalness that is stunning, like this lobster in two ways, with its sauces of rare complexity. This is a cuisine that speaks with directnes

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. His cooking is testament to his fondness for produce of the local terroir and for sustainable coastal fishing (such as hand-dived scallops and abalone, lobster and seaweed) – demonstrating his respect for resources. His ambitious and elegant dishes abound with flavour; the desserts are wickedly decadent. Cosy dining area and panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, with Saint

In the heart of Saint Malo, a professional couple whips up wholesome traditional cuisine crafted sincerely and at sensible prices: tacos of spider crab; scallops, parsley butter and Jerusalem artichoke; rice pudding, grapefruit and pistachios. A pleasant location, a cheerful bistro spirit and invariably packed to the seams!

Within the city walls, a handful of tables set up on the pavement; inside, a compact, contemporary space with a corrugated iron wall section and the menu featuring on enamelled tiles: this house (doma in Slavonic) catches the eye and whets the appetite! Colourful dishes that showcase the season.

Breizh Café is the result of a stroke of genius: the idea of mixing Breton traditions with the Japanese flair for presentation. Inviting modern decor with a counter facing the open kitchen, as in Japan. Local ingredients (100% organic buckwheat, oysters from Cancale, butter from Bordier) and a few contemporary touches, such as buckwheat pancakes rolled up like maki. Good choice of ciders.

Welcome to Caroline and Étienne Corson's eminently hospitable eatery! She is in charge of proceedings front of house and extends a warm welcome; the chef's cooking is a masterclass in showcasing Brittany's fine, seasonal ingredients, which are spotlighted in dishes such as slow-cooked egg, Jerusalem artichoke cream and foie gras royale; lamb confit, seasonal vegetables and a reduced jus... Booking is recommended, as seating is limited in the inviting little dining room.

This Franco-Japanese gourmet establishment is on the first floor of a crêperie: welcome to the world of Bertrand Larcher. A champion of buckwheat and Brittany’s culture, Larcher first opened a string of pancake houses in Japan, before doing the same in France with the same success. Now in a dining room overlooking the bay of Mont Saint Michel, chef Raphaël-Fumio Kudaka blends Breton produce with Japanese techniques and seasonings. Sautéed monkfish, langoustine, agedashi of koya-tofu and daikon and a thick shellfish broth; buckwheat soba noodles, gutsy stock of dried Brittany bonito and kombu,
