"Nicely located, overlooking the Trieux river, just a short walk from the cathedral this is a good place for lunch or evening meal. Always welcoming, the menu selection has a good range of fish meat or vegetarian dishes with a changing lunchtime menu. I like the modern feel of the place which was once an old stone building, tastefully transformed into a light and airy place to eat and relax. This place scores highly on the aesthetic side of eating which to me has great importance. Food is always perfectly presented without it pretentiously looking like it has prepared by Picasso or chucked on the plate by an angry and overworked chef. Sometimes they have the shellfish - Ormeau. which if you like scallops, I would highly recommend. The place can be very busy at lunchtime with many people having business lunches so go early to avoid waiting. In fact my only criticism is that service can be slow if it is already busy and you turn up after 1pm for lunch. When in France, as I have said before, to get the best service and the plat du jour go early as you can. This is not a consumer led country, you have to fit in with them!"

""My experience in this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The disrespectful and derogatory behavior of the boss put the whole family uncomfortable. His excessive familiarity was moved and created a truly unpleasant atmosphere. We spent a very bad time and we can absolutely not recommend this establishment. Meal type: Lunch"

"Nice discovery between colleagues. You will go back to a restaurant out of time with a very nice decor and make you forget that you are in Guingamp or that the weather is bad. The principle is also a little peculiar: if you are alone, go directly to the counter to recover your dish, otherwise for more people the service will be at the table. Choose between a pie or a chicken-based day dish and two desserts. The servings are generous, the quality ingredients. We've had fun! The dish is in recess mode. A good place to eat quickly or not and relax. The smile is on all lips and it's good!"

"I had fish, supposedly haddock but could have easily been whiting; very small fillet and very much overdone. As a main it was very small. My partner had veal that was again overcooked and not very appetising to look at. The starter was OK; the problem was there was a 30 minuet delay between the starter and the main, perhaps the reason for the overcooking; we had been forgotten about. The restaurant was busy and the waiting staff seemed to be somewhat overwhelmed; this also may be a contributory factor. I will not be going there again any time soon, very poor value"

"We were invited to join a birthday dinner, making a first time visit for us. Our French hosts were consulted for the writing of this review. They were far more disappointed than us, as they initiated the evening and, for us, the compensation of their good company more than made up for the description with follows. The ambience and position of the resto is great. The tables were laid with paper tablecloths and the napkins were paper. We all plumped for the Le Menu Plaisir at € 36. The dishes were nicely thought out and I skip fine details as we all had something different. The common factor was that all the plates were cold and the food was tepid at best. An 'à point ' steak arrived 'saignant/bleu ' and had to go back and we all waited for it, so that we could eat together our food cooling even more. It was a shame really, as, if piping hot, the meals would have been really good, as it was, they gave an impression of how good they could have been. Why didn 't we complain and demand replacements? First, we were guests and it was not our place and in the post mortem with our friends, they thought that we were happy and didn 't want to sour the evening by complaining themselves. Only yesterday evening did we compare notes and find that we were all equally unhappy! Just one extra note: the wines were not as unreasonably priced as usual for Brittany restos, they were well chosen and the temperatures were right. Full marks for that. So, if they can only get their act together on hot dishes served on hot plates, things will be so much better. I am going to send them a copy of this review and suggest they could do something about it."
