Le Globe Trotter — Restaurant in Saint-Malo

We are on vacation and wanted to enjoy a nice evening in a good looking and recommended restaurant. However, our expectations were not met.

The welcome was very warmly. Everything happened very very quickly. We had just gotten our drinks/appetizers, then our food arrived the next minute.

We were looking forward to the Moules all day, as these are a favorite dish here by the sea.

At first we thought there were individual weird moules in between, but it turned out the whole pot was the same. The moules were overcooked, dry and there was absolutely not enough soup/sauce on top. The fries were excellent, however, you didn't even get a pot to put sauce on, for the fries. We dumped these into a moules bowl.

During the whole meal no one came to ask us if everything was ok. It was the most unpalatable moules we have ever eaten, and the first meal we did not finish out of disgust.

We waited for the waitress to come and clear our cutlery, but after 10 minutes no one came, despite them all walking past several times. So we just got up, paid and complained the menu at the waiter, who gave us a free portion. The waiter was even upset with the cook himself. He gave us an digestif as compensation. This was all very very nice on his part, he was also very sorry and apologized several times.

On the whole, the restaurant looked very cute, the service seemed actually also very good and fast, but not with us. The dishes of our neighboring tables all looked very good, just...

My First negative review ever: First of all: staff was really nice and quick to serve! Food: Had the 20€ Tuna “Curry”, which was the most tasteless curry I have ever had! Tasted like lightly salted and peppered bland cream sauce…don’t believe one single crumb of any sort of curry spice has ever entered the pot…plus: might be the smallest curry portion I have ever seen! 5 small (!) pieces of tuna and five of the chewiest and smallest prawns I have ever seen in a restaurant…plus maybe 6-7 forks of rice at most. I am sorry, but this was 9€ shopping mall curry level at most, maybe not even that. To serve this sort of curry and portion size at 20€ is almost absurd. Location/restaurant looked nice tho, and staff was nice too, as was the craft beer, hence...

Je donne rarement mon avis, mais là pour le coup, je suis suffisamment déçu pour prendre le temps de le faire. Dans l'ordre :

on est tombé sur une serveuse vraiment pas aimable. A côté de ça, les autres serveurs ont l'air plutôt avenants et sympas. les dessous de table avec le menu inscrit dessus. En soit, ce n'est pas un problème, seulement au vu des tarifs proposés par le restaurant, ça fait un peu "tâche". cadre, emplacement et déco du restaurant sympas. sur deux verres de vin, l'un était plein de poussière de chiffon. au niveau du service du vin, quand je commande un verre qui provient d'une bouteille à la carte, la moindre des choses, c'est de faire le service à table en présentant la bouteille... la présentation des plats est bien faite, ça donne envie de manger, mais quand un des deux plats est servi tiède, c'est dommage. le "Red chicken thai style", manque de saveur, j'avais plus l'impression de manger quelque chose de fraîchement sorti du congélateur et réchauffé au micro onde. Dommage, car il y a vraiment moyen de faire quelque de bien avec ce type de recette. le "Curry vert de thon rouge et crevettes", idem que précédemment : on cherche le curry, tout est noyé dans le lait de coco. Pour les crevettes, ça ne pose pas de soucis, mais le thon rouge n'a aucune saveur noyé dans cette soupe. le tout à un tarif absolument pas en rapport avec les prestations proposées.

Et le tout validé par le Guide du Routard plusieurs années...
