Le Coquillage sur Saint-Meloir-Des-Ondes

A superb experience, both in the dining room and on the plate. Congratulations to the team, especially Julien, for his attentiveness throughout lunch. Thanks also to the sommelier for his recommendations and for sharing this special moment with us.

After staying at Le Rimains Cottage and enjoying an excellent meal and superb service at the bistro, we drove to the Chateau with great anticipation for dinner. The location is spectacular, and the Chateau is very photogenic with a beautiful garden surrounding it. We arrived at 7:15 pm, having reserved for 7:30 pm – we were told not to be late. The welcome, we must say, was quite underwhelming. Although we were greeted and shown to a small lounge, we then sat on the sofa for 30 minutes, seemingly left unattended, while the staff served two tables with aperitifs, etc. Everyone greeted us, but we weren't offered drinks or a menu. Just when we were ready to leave, a young woman finally attended to us. So, the start wasn't the best. However, things improved considerably from there – we had a very witty and eloquent young waitress who made the meal a real pleasure – both visually and gastronomically. The sommelier did an excellent job; we didn't want a wine tasting menu, but rather a good bottle of white wine that would perfectly complement the meal. Online, there was a choice between a small and a large menu, but on the evening of the meal, only the large menu was offered for everyone. I must say that the price was more than justified; in fact, it's practically impossible to find a three-Michelin-starred restaurant at this price elsewhere. We found the menu exceptional, artful, impressive, and incredibly exciting in terms of the spices and the combinations of the individual dishes. Let's call it a culinary firework display. The wait between the many courses wasn't long either—everything moved along quickly, and we were constantly surprised because the menu and its descriptions gave no indication of what the actual dish would be. The digestif was then served to us again in the small dining room, and the farewell was very pleasant and humorous; I think they could tell that the beginning hadn't gone quite as planned.

Exceptional! This lunch was an unforgettable gastronomic experience in a refined setting, enhanced by impeccable service.

A taste experience to be had at least once in a lifetime.

An unforgettable experience! Dinner, wine pairing, as well as the room and breakfast were exceptional. Attentive and highly professional staff. Idyllic setting, thank you.

Exceptional! And you have a huge selection of exceptional products (caviar, truffles, lobster, and much more…) for a “reasonable” price. Incredible work goes into every dish, all in a magnificent setting.

What an escape! We were on cloud nine from beginning to end. The setting is sublime, the staff attentive and professional, and the cuisine... divine! We traveled, discovered delicious and daring flavors, and were left with a burning desire to add some spice to our lives. A special mention to the sommelier who accompanied us throughout this culinary escapade, and thank you to the chef who skillfully adapted the dishes to our preferences.

An incredible experience! Le Coquillage easily deserves its 3 stars. It's delicious and light from start to finish.

A delicate, hushed, and discreet atmosphere. Everything is done to make the client feel comfortable.

A wonderful culinary experience in this superb location.
