Auberge Grand'Maison — Restaurant in Saint-Brieuc

By far our favourite restaurant in Brittany - reserved for birthdays and special occasions at night as it isn't cheap- but as yet unbeaten for quality and Wow factor. The lunch time menu at 26 euros though is fantastic value for the quality of food presented and a taster of what you might expect from an evening visit .||||Put simply, the chef is incredibly talented ...choose any of his amazing desserts ( including melting chocolate spheres and you'll see what I mean.

Stayed here for a night last week and I must say at the outset that if the price had been less then maybe I would have rated it higher but at the price value for money lets it down.||The room was a good size and quirkily decorated but the carpet was stained and worn, a leg fell off the bedside table, the chairs were a throw back to the foam chairs that roll out to a single bed but they were worn and not even matching.||The staff were pleasant enough and helpful.||Then we come to the food. The chef was supposed to have Michelin star presumably for changing tyres. You know you are in trouble when you are served things you didn't order on plates that have strange shapes. Basically the food was presented as a series of amuse bouche grouped together into a course. What you ended up with was more tastes than your mouth could cope with whether you liked it or not probably there wasn't a second try.
