La Courtine — Restaurant in Dinan

I stumbled upon this place by chance, drawn in by its daily set menu. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of this beautiful city, it offers a serene and welcoming atmosphere that I truly appreciated.

I was greeted with an unexpected courgette soup. The salmon tartare stood out for its generously sized cuts—larger than what one typically expects in a tartare. It was topped with crumbs that added a pleasantly distinctive crunch, creating a textural balance between the tenderness of the salmon and the crispness of the topping. Though I’m generally not a fan of smoked flavors, but the subtle smokiness flavour I’ve perceived in this dish was surprisingly well-executed and complemented the fish beautifully without overwhelming the palate.

The Breton-style fish casserole was an unexpected and delightful addition to a set menu. While the fish wasn’t fresh-caught to my taste, it retained an excellent quality and delicate flavor. A particularly pleasant surprise was the choice of accompaniments—solely vegetables, with no potatoes or rice, which kept the dish light and allowed the fish to remain the focus. I also appreciated the clever presentation: the sauce was served at the bottom of the deep plate, allowing each bite to carry just the right amount of sauce, with the option to adjust to taste.

Both dishes were slightly saltier than I personally prefer, but not enough to detract from the overall experience. I would certainly return, as the originality of the menu and the quality of the flavors make this place well...

Шли по отзывам TripAdvisor на местную бретонскую кухню . Ресторанчик расположен в тихом проулочке и имеет ограниченное количество столиков. Открывается обычно с 19:00. Лучше столик бронировать заранее. У нас такой возможности не было ,но поскольку мы пришли к открытию, нам повезло быть приглашенными за единственный незабронированный столик.Меню для каждого вечера написано мелом на доске на французском. Вариантов два : закуска+ основное = 21 евро и закуска+основное+десерт= 28,5 евро. Парень-гарсон растолковал все на английском . В итоге мы выбрали три меню по 21 евро и получили фуагра утиная с чатни и rillettes de poissons au fromage frais (риллет=метод приготовления , похожий на паштет из свежей рыбы с сыром) как закуску;filet de Bar coulis de poivrons,legumes de saison (филе сибаса с перцем и сезонные овощи) и blanquette de poisson du marché (тушеная рыба кусочками с рынка) как основное блюдо+ комплимент от шефа и сидр брют в качестве напитка.Итог = 82 евро.Действительно оригинально , вкусно и необычно ( особенно для...
