Eating in St-Malo
St-Malo is all about seafood and crêpes. There's no shortage of restaurants, many serving
thelocalspecialtyofmussels (moules) andoysters (huîtres). Lookalsoforbakeriesselling
ker-y-pom, traditional Breton apple-filled shortbread biscuits that are the best-tasting treat
in town, especially when warmed.
Le Corps de Garde Crêperie is my favorite lunch stop. It's up on the walls, with
St-Malo's cheapest view tables. They serve inventive crêpes at fair prices from noon to
22:00, with a cool ambience indoors or out (daily, 3 Montée Notre Dame, tel. 02 99 40 91
46).
Bouche en Folie matches tasty specialties that change daily with a cozy setting; it's
traditional without being kitsch ( menus from €25, closed Mon, 14 Rue du Boyer, mobile
06 72 49 08 89).
Coté Sens ismySt-Malo mini-splurge.Enthusiastically runbythewifeandhusband
team of Sandrine and Oliver, Coté Sens has a small but delightfully fresh selection that
Sandrine happily translates for you ( menus from €29, daily, 16 Rue de la Herse, tel. 02 99
20 08 12).
Le Chateaubriand, inside Porte St. Vincent, offers two choices. The ground-floor
restaurant delivers a grand, Old World aura and a full range of choices at decent prices
( menus from €19, daily, inside and outdoor dining). Their gourmet restaurant— Le 5 —is
five floors up; you pay for the views (€29 lunch menu , no dinner menu , €16-28 main
dishes, closed Mon-Tue, Place Chateaubriand, tel. 02 99 56 66 52,
