AU P'TIT QUINQUIN — Restaurant in Avranches

This was our third and last night in the area and we were pleased that we saved the best for last, albeit not by design! Of course you must first overcome your distaste for the 70s saccharin decor if you are to enjoy your meal here and I recommend you do so hastily or else it will be a very long meal! The dauphinoise potatoes demand a special mention-good regional cuisine at a very decent price - we chose the three courses for 25 euros- with friendly and attentive service despite the restaurant being full! But someone must take care of the window box that desperately needed a re-plant! Maybe even some herbs! I had to try all evening to avert my eye from the withered remnants of 3 marigold heads that were in danger of composting before my eyes-blossoms please or pleasurable herbs...

Situated at a crossroads on the main MSM road with ample parking to the rear. Very small, plain but clean rooms/bath overlook the road or the parking. Double glazing. No lift. WiFi works in the reception lounge but is dodgy in some of the upstairs rooms. Continental breakfast is basic. A cooked version is available to order. All for...
