We visit St Malo often and this place is a firm favourite now. It's not the cheapest place to eat in the city, and it's probably not the most obvious - but it has an atmosphere and a charm that are lacking in some of the better-known places.

WOW! Just opening the door told is that this was the place to be, such aromas... Lucky that we wanted to eat soon after 7pm as had not reserved, but offered a comfortable table.
