Pretty straightforward. the hotel is showing its age but overall a good experience

We have known and visited this restaurant probably once a year, most years, for the past 17 years.  It was always a favourite for an easy going meal not too far from our house in France.  Originally it was owned by a delightful husband and wife team who not only served good food but gave the restaurant its cosy, homely ambiance.  Pizzas in a choice of sizes were cooked in a traditional brick oven that could be seen through the hatch from the restaurant into the kitchen and, as well as the lovely French thin crust pizzas there were a few meat dishes on the menu and a good value fixed price menu as well.

Sadly this couple retired some time ago but when we last visited, maybe last year or the year before, another couple had taken the restaurant on and kept its menu and ambiance going.

We were therefore disappointed to find on this visit that it now seems to have changed hands once again and seems to me to now be just an average pizza joint.  In my opinion, it seems to have lost its ambience.  The brick pizza oven can no longer be seen (has it been removed, or just moved further back into the kitchen?  I do not know.) The menu contains only pizzas, salads and brochettes and there no longer appears to be a fixed price menu.  The pizza list no longer contains a forrestiere, either, which was always my wife’s favourite.

So we had our quatre saisons pizzas, which were quite acceptable, but unexceptional, and our bottle of cidre and went home thinking that there was one less restaurant for us to visit in future.  During the time that we were there, on a Friday evening, there were only 3 couples eating in, including ourselves, and only one of those was French.  There were a couple of orders taken for takeaways, and maybe it is this market that they are now aiming for.

Sadly, not as good as it once was

In a charming little village on the pretty Rance river, this tiny hotel offers travelers a delightful stay, with breakfast and a pizzeria on the premises.  Our sunny, airy room was in the front, on the first floor, and opened onto the beautiful church across the street.  At only 15 minutes from St. Malo, and 1/3 the price of hotels in that resort city, we felt happy to have found this quiet spot.
