I had the tuna, which was perfectly cooked and surrounded by a succulent puree of red peppers with leeks. The wife had the lamb, which she also said was delicious. For a starter we tried the scallops in a cream sauce--so tender and NOT overcooked. Desert was a homemade mille feuille that used whipping cream instead of pastry cream, making it much lighter than your usual mille feuille. The service was brisk and efficient. If you can get a table on the terrace, go for it. The restaurant was packed on a Thursday night so be sure to make a reservation and expect tight tables--typical in France.

As the trip planner for our group, I wanted to mark the occasion with something special, so I…read morebooked our first ever Michelin star dining experience. After a full day touring the D-Day sites, we were ready for a memorable dinner. The location was easy to find and the exterior was inviting. Staff were attentive, fluent in English, and great at walking us through the menu. On that note, so was every other guest in the restaurant. Literally every table appeared to be American, including a fairly boisterous group seated right next to us. It was a jarring contrast to the quieter, more intimate French restaurants we'd visited earlier in the trip. The food was a mixed bag. The turbot fillet was outstanding, easily among the best fish I've ever had, and the mango and passion fruit rice pudding was a wonderful finish. The rest of the meal, though, didn't leave much of an impression for the price. Speaking of price, come prepared for a steep bill. And if the Michelin star draws you in hoping for an authentic French atmosphere, you may leave a little underwhelmed. On our walk home we passed a charming local spot and all quietly wished we'd eaten there instead.

There were a few recognizable recommendations including Michelin so we popped in and were surprised that we were cheerfully seated, though we had no reservation. After ordering a nice bottle of wine, we ordered from the prefix menus. Prior to being served our starters, we were given a sampling of arancini. It looked similar to what we have had in Italy only here instead of Mazzarella cheese it was made with a local cheese. And boy was it really good! The fish soup was very tasty and the turbot entree was among the best fish dishes I've ever had. The fish was served over leeks in a white lightly creamy sauce with a delicious cheese flavor. The cod entree was also quite good. Our deserts, the apple tart with ice cream and the cheese board were well worth the calories. The local cheeses were amazing and even the crackers were special with lots of grains and flavor. The one issue I frequently have doing yelp reviews is that you are limited to whole stars. In this particular instance, given the excellent food, friendly and prompt service in the nicely restored old structure that made for a comfortable dining experience, I would give five stars. However, one of the soups and one of the entrées had to be sent back because they arrived lukewarm. Thus, I would offer up 4 1/2 stars. Given my dilemma, and the fact that the dishes temperature were easy to rectify, five stars it is.

Dinner in Mont Saint-Michel, France…read more.. We tried to dine at La Ferme Saint-Michel on the evening that we arrived, but we didn't have a reservation. My assignment from my friends was to get a reservation for 7:30pm for a party of 4 for the next day. I emailed the restaurant, then booked online. Everything was in French, so I guessed at how to answer the usual questions: How many in the party, time, and date requested. We parked for free in the gravel lot and walked in to a busy environment. Our table was in a connecting room where it seemed brighter and calmer. I chose the set meal for 45€. My starter was the duck salad which was nice and refreshing. The main entrée was the Salt Marsh Lamb Shoulder. It seemed like a patty made from shredded meat. Strange, but tender and moist! The dessert was Pont D'Orson. The cookie between the baked apple and scoop of ice cream was like the bridge between Mont Saint-Michel and the mainland. This restaurant was large and on the noisy side. It was an interesting foodie experience!

Went for Dinner Food…read more- 5/5. They truly showcase the quality of local Normandy products in an excellent farm-to-table concept. Bread had an amazing chew and the butter was rich and creamy. The bisque was clear broth, and the lack of cream made it easier to taste the natural sweetness of shrimp. Arugula gave it a peppery kick and the fried onions added crunch. We tried both styles of their specialty, the salt marsh lamb, and it was phenomenal. Lamb chops were grilled just slightly to create a sear, resulting in a perfect rare doneness. This allowed us to taste the unique texture of the lamb, which was very tender, being easy to cut with just your teeth. It had a very rich lamb flavor with no gaminess. While the lamb chops focused on the natural flavor of the lamb, the confit showed the culinary fineness of the restaurant. Confit was fork tender, aromatic with thyme, and the jus served as a sauce that reinforced the confit's flavor. Their vegetables were fantastic bringing out the natural flavors of each with excellent texture. Carrots were my favorite as they were roasted perfectly, creating a soft bite and emphasizing their natural sweetness. Potato mille feuille had a soft crunch, creamy interior, and the layers made for a fun texture. You could really taste the earthy flavors of the potato, which was even better when soaked with the confit jus. The cheeses were very strong with a sharp flavor. I could tell that they were of good quality, but I personally prefer milder cheeses. The farmhouse ice cream was absolutely amazing being rich, but not overpoweringly sweet. It was semi-hard, being able to hold its own shape, which resulted in a dense texture that melts in your mouth. It was a perfect pairing with the profiterole, which added a crunchy texture. Service - 4/5. Courteous and friendly service. They spoke fluent English, were readily available and the speed of service was fitting for the French dining culture. I made reservations via email and they provided a code to get past the gate. The code also provided a discount for the gate fees. Value - 5/5. Being a huge tourist destination, there are many touristy options in the area. Many of them state they offer the local specialty, agneau de pre-sale, but only have one option on their menu. La Ferme Saint-Michel is the only location I saw that has more than just a confit, offering the lamb chops that most tourists think of when it comes to lamb. They have a 45€ prix fixe of appetizer, entree, and dessert that includes the lamb confit but the lamb chops are a la carte, priced between 32-42€. Everything was sourced locally, tasted amazing, and the portions were great. An absolute must-visit restaurant to experience the local cuisine of Mont Saint-Michel. Parking - Private Lot (Free)

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!
