Bouche en Folie — Restaurant in Saint-Malo

Make a reservation - easy to do by messaging them via Facebook! They have a sign saying full for lunch and dinner hanging on their door so it must happen a lot.

Local feel - menu is hand written and brought on chalkboards. It is in French but the man servicing front of house knew enough English to talk us through the options. Because the place is small, it really feels cosy.

Amazing food - highlights were the "accras croustillants de crabe" - perfectly fried and seasoned crab cake; fish w curry beurre blanc sauce and parmesan risotto; and the "tiramisu" made w speculoos cookies, marscapone cream, apples and caramel au beurre sale

Great service - service was prompt and incredibly nice...even after we made a pretty big mistake. 😋

Close to beach - after our dinner, we walked one minute to the beach and watched the sunset.

Great value for money - was given two options: three course meal @ 30€ or two course meal @ 28€ (prices are as of today, could change but wanted to give context)

All in all, a meal we will never forget! Recommend if you're...

One of the best meals I had in France.

Small space and reservations are required.

Staff was extraordinarily friendly and welcoming. Despite my girlfriend and I knowing very little French the waiter was able to deftly and graciously help us navigate the menu and meal. We were one of the last tables that night and were able to speak to the chef who spoke excellent English and was so friendly. Even told us the secret to how he makes such great food.

Which was great. I had the lamb with risotto and Panna Cotta for dessert. Both were excellent. My girlfriend's sea bass was delicious and she loved the tiramisu.

We walked out of there for $85 including a bottle of cider (one of the better on our trip) and a Pomme de Bertagne apertif (which I highly recommend) which I think is a steal considering what you can pay for a meal like that...

This has to be the most perfect restaurant. Everything is of utmost quality: cuisine, friendliness of staff, and atmosphere. Despite my very weak French language skills, I navigated the menu with the help of my waiter. Gravlax de saumone, Cod with courgettes in a savory butter and ham sauce, and profiteroles smothered in the most amazing chocolate sauce I've ever tasted. Ooh la la! A very nice Sauvignon Blanc, with un caffe and a Lambig de Bretagne to cap things off. The waiter urged me to pop around the corner and speak to the chef. A very young chap with extraordinary skills (spoke to him in English). Ça c'est...
