Les Korrigans — Restaurant in Morlaix

Sometimes, it's good if you don't get what you want.

Last week, our family were still in Brittany. The other day, my wife and kids went to see The Océanopolis in Brest. Dogs were not allowed there and so I decided to visit Roscoff with Bennie, our dog instead (when know Timmy the dog from the Famous Five tv series, you very much get the picture of Bennie).

I arrived in Roscoff around lunch time. My intention was to eat at a Crêperie. Unfortunaely, all the Crêperies near the old port were packed, so I looked along the quay. Some 400 metres away, I recognized a white building with the words "Brasserie" (brewery) in its name.

A brasserie is always a good sign in my book, and so we headed for it. When I came nearer, I read the full name "Brasserie les Alizés".

The day was hot and the sky was very blue, so I asked a friendly waitress for a table outside under the awning. The waitress offered Bennie and me a shady table. She returned with the menu (for me) and a bowl with water (for Bennie). I went for the 3 course menu "Entre terre et mer":

Starter: le Pressé d'Artichaut (with salmon and cream) Main: Poisson du jour (Filet du Merlu, Fish of the day: hake) Desert: Tiramisu de fraises (Tiramisu with strawberries)

All three dishes were delicious. Full stop. The service was immaculate. I can’t remember the last time I had nothing to complain about.

Next to me sat a French family. Their kids were interested in Bennie and we talked about where I came from (around Frankfurt) and where they came from (southern Brittany). All very relaxed and friendly-like.

When I paid later and walked off, I did not regret that I missed out the crêpes and galettes this time. So yes, sometimes, it's good if you don't get...

Fish and shells are very fresh and delicious. Waiting staff do their best to bring some style to the place and offer their advice on the day specialty. Besides the expected pricey dishes, there are also menu and other combination at more reasonable prices. However, if you compare the prices with big cities like Paris, you will find this restaurant on the cheap side compared to the high...

Nous n’avons retenu que la vue, sur le port de Roscoff. Le reste , c’est à dire le plus important, le repas était plus que moyen. Du pain de mie avec le foie gras. Pas de variété de pain, uniquement du pain aux graines, une des personnes y étant allergique a eu du pain de mie également avec le plateau de fromage… De l’entrée au plat, jusqu’au fromage décoration de tranches de radis comme sur la photos. Le carpaccio de coquille St Jacques et poisson fumé, 1 coquille découpée en lamelles, et plein de poison fumé hyper salé, le tout jeté en vrac dans l’assiette, agrémenté de rondelles de radis… Le poisson, lieu jaune, et ses petits légumes, recouvert de tranches de radis… La cassolette de poisson, jeté en vrac avec tranches de radis et légumes, dont poivron, sans aucune cohérence gustative. Le fromage avec tranche de radis….et pain de mie. Il y a pourtant d’excellentes boulangeries à Roscoff. Le dessert, soit dessert exotique, tranches de gâteau roulé jetés en vrac, surmonté d’une meringue , mal présenté, ne donnait pas envie. Soit un dessert au chocolat qui semblait industriel. Pour un menu a 40€, entrée, plat, dessert, c’est décevant. Je n’y retournerai pas, mes...
