In a touristy area chock-full of typical crepe/galette cafes and moules-frites restaurants, Mr…read more Robert is a gem to find: intimate and casual. One of the best restaurants in Dinan and definitely one of our favorites in France so far. Came in on a Saturday night at 9pm without a reservation, and luckily we were seated in the last table available. The hostess was sweet, spoke English, and was extremely helpful regarding the menu and translations. Best yet, they were very casual about the menu -- anything can be ordered as a starter or as a main, and they're not sticklers to the rules about French dining that most restaurants seem to have. First, the amuse-bouche: whipped cucumber cream with oyster leaf -- a leaf that actually tastes like oysters! Different, and delicious. I'm not a huge fan of actual oysters, but I totally dig the leaf. Here's a pro tip: any time they offer scallops, order them! They were doing a special scallop menu, but I just had the scallops with risotto as a starter. Not kidding, I would have licked the plate clean. So amazing and perfectly cooked. For my main, I had the duck confit, which was served on a warm potato and bacon salad, and accompanied by mixed greens. The meat was amazingly tender and less fatty similar dishes I've had in the past. If I were in Dinan longer, I'd visit again. Thumbs up!

The dining room is light and contemporary; in good weather, an outdoor terrace is also open. There are a choice of menus, all offering contemporary classic French food. I've loved just about everything I've eaten here, from the top-quality seafood platters to the snail and mushroom millefeuille, steak in shallot sauce, salmon en papillotte with spring vegetables As you can tell from that list, there is a range of dishes to suit more or less adventurous eaters; whichever you choose, the quality and execution are outstanding. Vegetarian options are available on the a la carte menu. Service is also excellent, and while it's not cheap (unless you compare it to British prices, when it's a total bargain!) the menus offer excellent value, making this one of my favourite restaurants in France.
