A great option for a Michelin star in the vicinity of Saint-Malo – with exquisite service: Restaurant Le Saint Placide (2. June 2026)
If you’re looking for a restaurant in Saint Malo, then you might be surprised to find the Le Saint Placide since it is – in all honesty – a bit out of the city centre, but if you manage to get a cab or Uber (there seem to be only two drivers in the whole […]
When you have to wait for your slot at Mont Saint-Michel … and are hungry: Restaurant La Nouvelle Terrasse (2. June 2026)
Getting to the Mont Saint-Michel is an experience in itself. It’s in the middle of nowhere (or at least it feels that way since you have to drive quite a bit), but the view when you approach the place is absolutely breathtaking! The challenge is to book your slot in advance (especially if you want […]
A – for once – lovely French restaurant with a small menu and delicious dishes: Restaurant Huître Brûlée (1. June 2026)
Currently, it’s not easy to access the Huître Brûlée since the street access is only possible from one side since they are rebuilding a house and, hence, have blocked a few streets. That being said, it’s worth the little detour. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the place is nice and has […]
I figured my new ‘go-to’ has become ramen – also in France: Restaurant Chiba Ramen Vieux Marché (31. May 2026)
I was a bit hungry, but not overly much, so, I decided to go for something simple and light for dinner in the form of the “poulet tantan udon (thick free-range chicken broth, chicken pieces sautéed in spicy sauce, shoyu sauce spices, tamago, perfumed menma, grated carrots, chives, coriander, sesame)” (EUR 13.90), which turned out […]
A truly French restaurant – with all its pros and cons: Restaurant Le P’tit Zinc (31. May 2026)
The Le P’tit Zinc is – to me – what I really mean when I mention ‘French restaurant’. When we sat down, 50 minutes before they close, they were already not too amused. However, they played nicely and friendly with a smile. The menu arrived 10 minutes after we had been seated, and it took […]
A superbly decent breakfast experience: 2 Kings Room @ Hotel de Bourgtheroulde, Autograph Collection (31. May 2026)
The breakfast selection at the 2 Kings Room in the Hotel de Bourgtheroulde, Autograph Collection is surprisingly decent. Frankly, with EUR 28.00 for a breakfast, I think it’s okay to expect that. It starts with a small selection of different fruit juices … … continues with a few hot dishes like scrambled eggs, beans, bacon […]
An absolutely delicious Michelin-star experience for a more than fair price: Restaurant L’Odas (30. May 2026)
I was not sure what to expect of the L’Odas, but given it has one Michelin star, I was looking forward to trying it out. Once you’re seated, and I would highly recommend you to book your flight in advance, you have to pick your dishes. We decided to go for the “prendre son temps […]
A great ramen place in the middle of the French alps – with an attitude: Restaurant Unkai Ramen (21. March 2026)
Even during Tomorrowland Winter, if you go early in the day, I think we went at 4.30pm CET, you won’t have to book your table in advance but can actually just walk in and score a table. Hence, here we were. We started with “edamame” (EUR 5.00) … … and “wakamé salad” (EUR 6.00).. The […]
