La Crique - Restaurant, produits de la mer et huitres — Restaurant in Rennes

we had a wonderful host who clearly knew the menu well and origin of ingredients.

food - the mussels here were done in a manner I have not seen before, dry and not saucey, lots of butter, lending it a deeper aroma than what I've had. the mussels were small, as was the portion size but quality was definitely there. the cheese on the oyster gratin was not overpowering and the flavours of the oyster shine through. a mixed platter of oysters was also ordered, fresh and served with lemon, an indulgence. potato mills feuille was delicious and delicately made, but small.

make sure to make a reservation online, it is very simple and can be done last minute. sadly we were not very full at the end of the meal and bill was around 50 euro with 1 glass of wine. perhaps were big eaters!

thank you for the...

I only wanted to try some oysters and ended up having their happy hour deal (6 oysters and a glass of Muscadet), a glass of entre-deux-mers and their Plancha Mussels. I was impressed by everything! The oysters were delicious and I wanted to order another six, but another guest recommended the mussels. I gave it a try and do not regret it! I expected typically steamed mussels, but these were different. They were so tasty, but not over seasoned by any means, that I wanted to lick the shells (and I did)! And all more than reasonably priced. I was surprised there weren’t more clientele, but I was also a bit early for dinner. Very friendly staff, cozy and cool atmosphere. Definitely visiting again the next time...

I decided to treat myself and my bestie today for my birthday and stumbled upon this charming restaurant in Rennes by chance. What a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Cancale oysters and the mussels, which were both incredibly fresh and flavorful.

The restaurant is run with such passion — Mr. Nicolas carefully curates the menu while his wife, the talented chef, brings it to life in the kitchen. Their warm hospitality made the evening even more special.

If you ever find yourself in Rennes, I can’t recommend this place enough. A true culinary treasure worth...
