First decent meal in St. Malo

Woke up and took a nice jog on the beach. It was a cloudy but still very nice. Much warmer here than in Amsterdam and Paris.

Love the sound of the ocean


Yesterday we went to the center of town to search for something to eat. We ended up eating at a shit crêperie because EVERYTHING was closed since it's low tourist season. My chef from school gave me a list of good places to eat - we called a bunch of these places this morning. Unfortunately they would only open for large groups. We picked a Brasserie across the street that looked a bit promising.

Amuse bouche - crab and avocado. They did a pretty good job with the "guacamole." Bravo !

This was like a light scallop pot pie. Really good but the scallops were overcooked.

Nina's ris de veau - they did a good job on this one.

My extremely overcooked blue lobster. Too bad because the sauces and garniture were really tasty.

Nina's turbot. Slightly overcooked - everything else good. It came with a galette underneath as well as some andouille. Not a bad combo - who knew ?

Excellent chocolat fondant au beurre salée
