The culinary delights of Saint Malo, part I !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Food and Wine, France

I bring you back to sublime Saint Malo , Ille et Vilaine dept 35 of my lovely Bretagne. I decided update and put all my eating out experiences in one post and leave the travel description on the other posts. So therefore, here is my take on the culinary delights of Saint Malo, part I !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I

No need for stories or history here just plain eating out with the family over the years and we do repeat when have something good why change ! Believe or not my first encounter with Saint Malo was way back in 2012 to meet a local friend of travel forum native of England, former taxi driver in Paris and about 40 years in France ! We later came back again several times and my dear late wife Martine enjoyed much, This was and is the Créperie des Bés at 4, rue Thévenard. This was a find that actually I chose to eat with our friend ! And he liked it too ! It is tops, and well recommended by all. It was initially recommended to me by collegues at work !  No reservations taken we waited a bit but nice friendly service as always.

We follow up one evening with the family to our usual beer and burger joint never to be overlook by yours truly. We hit a new spot in Café Burgers Knop right by the intramuros ramparts at 1 Place Guy la Chambre (sadly found out it has closed). What a pleasant surprise this Knop! This is a local chain and it is very good. We just walked in like that and was awesome right by the ramparts intra muros meaning inside the closed city. Very friendly and nice welcome to our dog Rex too, he had his fries and water! A very nice decoration , with beautiful monkey lamps!.  Come and feast on gourmet burgers , and great beers. The products are fresh and homemade, the meat is cooked perfectly and the fries are crisp! I tried the Knop! with a nice Duchesse Anne triplet local beer from the Morbihan!  Quality at a very  reasonable  price. Charming welcome from the friendly and smiling team. Left it here for the memories of always.

We hit another usual here and a must the Glacier Artisan Sanchez ice cream extraordinaire! Located at 9 Rue de la Vielle Boucherie, I had the humble 3 scoops and my boys had as much as 5! different flavors mine was the usual coconut and chocolate, all nicely done and good size to be eaten on the streets! Of course, each time there we tried different flavors always good, sublime on the streets of Saint Malo.

We hit a new spot here but already used to it from Vannes, this is the Columbus Café, 3 Rue de la Vieille Boucherie , and my boys love it. At lovely quant rue de la Vieille Boucherie walking in sublime Saint Malo, on a out terrase not seem from the street at first but very nice romantic place I would say. Here missing my pastrami bagel had to settle for a club sandwich that was big and good, wash down with peach ice tea, a bowl of mix fruits and finish with a chocolate praline cold drink! Always tops me think.

And for the nights ,we had our bash at Bistrot de Cartier (sadly closed) at  6 rue Jacques Cartier, for a nice round of beers with the boys. I tried first the SAS 5% Belgian beer that was very delicious, and my sons had different ones as well Belgians,  (hommel beer, and Kriek cherry) origins. The welcome was nice and a bowl of water for our dog Rex! And of course, the best looking girl in all Saint Malo!! the owner. We were back and will again ,eventually. Well we were back August 2024 and it is closed sadly !!! On this post for the memories of always.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
