These are places that visitors to La Quinardais have actually eaten at and have provided personal comments on:-
le LYVET Gourmand, Port Lyvet
“The replacement for L’Effet Mer. Set menu is good value and the Salade de la Mer is a dish not to be missed on the à la carte menu.” (Sept 2023)
“Set price menu has gone up but still good value for money. Open most evenings now.” (April 2015)
“Has a good view across the Rance to the “Green Chateau”. Unfortunately the famous seal that used to lie out on the slipway if the sun is shining has gone. There is a bar/restaurant that is keen on Organic wine and vegetarian dishes.” (May 2023)
La Fleur de Sel, Dinan
“Just off the main square…easy to spend 40 euros a head without booze, but worth it.” (Sept. 2013)
“I found the choice of starters limited, but the food was excellent and liked the fact that they do some really good 50 cl. bottles of wine. I particularly enjoyed the St. Emillion.” (Oct. 2013)
Le Cantorbery, Dinan
“Popular with tourists and the locals.” (May 2013)”
“Down the same street as La Fleur de Sel. Some good value set menus. You can watch your steak being cooked over the open wood fire. The Plateau Fruit de Mer is quite substantial.” (May 2021)
“They no longer cook their steaks over the open wood fire but their Chateaubriand was delicious and was the ‘Larmes de chocolate’ for dessert.Creperie Ahana, Dinan
“Best Creperie in Dinan.”
“You have to book or get there early – both at lunch and in the evening.” (Sept. 2023)
La Courtine, Dinan
“Just opposite the Marie. Down a small street next to the Cafe Noir. Probably the best restaurant in Dinan. You have to book. Does a two course menu for 18 euros or a three course menu for 23 euros. There’s a good choice for each course and you’ll find you want to try everything.” (March 2014)
Restaurant Creuzil, Plancoet
“Some of the best food in Brittany, but it’s expensive. Best to arrange a taxi as it’s about a twenty minute drive away from La Quinardais. Sunday lunch is by far the best deal with a glass of wine thrown in with each course. You have to book well in advance.” (May 2013)
N.B. Closed for six months in 2014 because of serious flooding.
Unfortunately this Restaurant is now closed.
“If you have their Menu Festin you only need to order one course as they throw in a starter and dessert for no charge.”
“This is still the best restaurant in Dinan. Can’t recommend it enough.” (March 2019) “Thank goodness it survived the Covid shutdown. Do try the aperitif de la Maison. (June 2023)Closed all day Monday and Tuesday.
Sadly the Menu Festin (recommended above) is no longer available (Sept 2023)
