We stopped by for dinner early in the season in May. It was filled mostly with locals and felt very homey. We were seated by the window and had a lovely view. We both had oysters (a dozen for 13 euros) which were excellent. The entrees were good but not very exciting. We had a seafood soup and trout. The service was excellent and we had a good time.

We came upon this by accident, hungry after leaving Dol de Bretagne rather late at 2. The waitresses were friendly, found us a table and brought us drinks promptly. My last lunch in France so ordered the moules a la creme and they were wonderful! Nothing flash but great service, lots of locals, plenty of parking and an all round pleasant experience.

Pretty boring restaurant with pretty pale food. Good service though. The dessert (creamer brûlée) tasted to much burnt.
