17/09/2026: Arriving without a reservation, we received a more than warm welcome!
The manager on the phone kindly helped us find a parking space and offered us a superbly located table despite the crowd.
The servers provided excellent advice, both on the chef's suggestions and on the wine pairings for our dishes. The Camembert cheese is more than just a present dish: it reigns supreme, encased in crispy bacon, majestically atop a bed of gratinéed buckwheat that seems to have been crafted by the gods of Auvergne themselves.
Then, an origami of butternut squash surrounded by a vibrant array of colors and small vegetables—it's like being in the heart of the Mediterranean on a summer evening. The terrace with its patio immerses us in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where time seems to stand still (it reminds us of our honeymoon in Italy with my husband). As for my husband, lost in memories, he succumbed to a starter enhanced with a Parmesan cream that was enough to melt away our last inhibitions and plunge us into an explosion of sweetness.
The dessert, finally, the chef's new specialty, underscored the meaning of ecstasy. With a delicacy and precision that would put even the greatest chefs to shame, its citrus note and sprinkle of crunchy texture, let me tell you, this dinner was more than just a culinary aphrodisiac!
Special mention to the kitchen: Alex and Jo! To the front-of-house team: Yassine and Gwendal! Who made our experience truly timeless.
We will be back.
11/09/2026: A delightful evening at this restaurant where everything is homemade, using fresh ingredients, and the service is impeccable and friendly. It's wonderful to still find places like this, where the welcome is warm, the food delicious, all served without fuss but with genuine kindness and simplicity. And all at a reasonable price for the quality offered. We had a wonderful time at Le Jardin d'Été during our visit to Quimper.
