Au Pied d'cheval sur Cancale

Friendly and competent staff. The setting overlooking the sea is absolutely delightful. Excellent value for money. Go without hesitation!

We had lunch together at this small seafood restaurant in Cancale. The service was adequate and the staff pleasant. My partner ordered mussels marinière. They were good, but really small for the price. At the end of the meal, when I mentioned this, I was told they were rope-grown mussels and that these were the only ones available before the season starts in July. This is understandable, but it might have been helpful to mention this when ordering to avoid disappointment. I opted for an omelet, which is listed on the menu without any sides or salad. When I ordered, the waiter had informed me of this and offered to add bacon and cheese for a small extra €0.80, which was a nice touch. The wines we ordered were good. Overall, it wasn't exceptional, but it's still a decent place for a simple lunch.

Oyster tasting, very good welcome and service.

A truly delightful experience: enjoying a plate of oysters and a cheese platter – a real treat for the taste buds. We had a lovely chat with the owner, who offered helpful tips for a more enjoyable tasting experience. Our attention was drawn to the smiling waiter as he shucked the oysters. Yes, the platter was prepared right before our eyes! An address I highly recommend.

Great little balcony and quality products!

We wanted to make sure our child had lunch before heading to the oyster market ourselves. Of course, choosing a seafood restaurant for that turned out to be a mistake. We ordered the fish soup for our daughter. While it was genuinely very tasty (the best dish we ordered), it had a noticeable bitterness to it, so it really wasn’t suitable for children. My husband had the mussels with bacon, and I chose the flambéed prawns. Both were decent, but nothing more. We didn’t want to sit by the road, so we asked for a table inside, but it felt quite uncomfortable there - almost like sitting in a hallway. The service was good, but overall I wouldn’t say this is a place I would particularly recommend.

A well-known establishment among the people of Cancale, offering unwavering quality in a friendly atmosphere. From producer to consumer, it's a short supply chain.

We were very satisfied during our visit; the oysters, mussels, everything was perfect. Smiles included!

The oysters and the little Chablis were very nice 🥰

Good - the mussels are very good even if small. Is this the Breton variety?
