"If you have one night at Brest, and you are a sea food person this is the place to go. We arrived around 9:00 pm, there was a 30 min waiting time, during they offered us a glass of wine. The food was amazing, every dish was perfectly cooked and served. The service was kind, they took the time to explain everything in English. Highly recommended! Fresh seafood, great view and atmosphere."

"The staff was lovely, while respecting to the letter the new sanitary measures. We had a full menu and everything tasted delicious and fresh. The dessert was amazing - thanks to our waiter for the recommendation (you have to decide for it when you give the order because they need a lot of time to prepare it). With their different menus they accommodate the demand for everyone’s budget. If you spend one night in Brest, you definitely should dine here! :)"

"Restaurant was fully packed when I arrived, but I got a place to sit even if I didn’t have a reservation and service was very nice, I was served by some young gentleman who was probably the only one who speaks English Food was amazing and service as well, I took a set menu for 1person 60€ and that thing was actually for 3persons which is amazing. Truly recommend you to go and visit it. Only minus that I give to this place is that is opened from 7pm like most of the restaurants around here..Right now I am waiting for them to open and I am bringing some friends with me that says a lot to the place."
