During our visit to sunny St-Malo I decided that it would be fitting to indulge in a sweet treat, and when I came across Glacier Sanchez it seemed like fate ; )
Located in the heart of St-Malo's old town, Glacier Sanchez has way too many ice cream flavours to choose from! All the usual suspects and then some.
I had a cup with two scoops - coffee and hazelnut flavours. The ice cream was nice and creamy and the portion size was generous. Ok, it wasn't as delicious as Italian gelato, but it certainly hit the spot.

Both of us had meals we thought were outstanding: a Kir aperitif with a small plate of olives and quiche with fish; my wife had a lovely salad and I had pate for starters and both were delicious. Entrees were grilled tuna and duck leg, both well prepared and appetizing. Finished with coffee and creme brulee and an apple tart with ice cream. All for about $30 each including 2 glasses of wine with dinner.

Le Café de Saint-Malo is a popular café and restaurant located in one of the most bustling parts of Saint-Malo’s historic walled city (Intra Muros). It is located just inside the town’s ramparts, close to the Porte St Vincent and La Grand Porte entrances to the city, and is surrounded by competing street cafes, boutique hotels and souvenir shops.
While Le Café de Saint-Malo is famed for its good value seafood dishes (most of the outdoor tables were full of diners tucking into oysters, shrimps and fish when I passed by in the evening), I actually visited the café for a Sunday morning breakfast during my stay in the city in June 2008.
The café offers dozens of outdoor tables, sheltered beneath a red canopy, with great views of the adjacent ramparts, and also has a large interior with a dining room capable of holding many more diners.
Le Café de Saint-Malo was fairly quiet on the Sunday morning that I visited and I had no problem getting an outdoor table. This would not have been possible the previous evening, when all the prime street-side tables were occupied and people were having to wait for vacant tables.
The breakfast menu consisted of various continental breakfast combinations. The simplest and cheapest option was a croissant with a hot beverage for around 4 or 5 Euros, while other options including fresh fruit juice, toast, cheese, bacon and eggs were more expensive.
I splashed out and paid 9.60 Euros for the Grand Formule breakfast – the biggest option on the menu. This included:
- a glass of fresh orange juice (small, but refreshing);
- a choice of hot beverage (I ordered coffee, but was given a hot chocolate, with an accompanying biscuit);
- a croissant;
- a stick of white crusty bread, with butter, red currant and strawberry jams;
- a slice of toast;
- bacon (3 or 4 small pieces of thin, lightly cooked bacon);
- eggs (3 fried eggs, with runny yolks).
As with many of the restaurants and cafes in the touristy heart of Saint-Malo, the food was a little overpriced, but it was good quality and I certainly enjoyed it.
A popular café in the heart of Saint-Malo. The seafood is apparently very good – the breakfasts definitely are! Recommended!

The old town (Intra Muros) of Saint-Malo is littered with small cafes and restaurants; whichever road you turn down you will be likely to find somewhere offering food and drink – be it a plush restaurant, an outdoor café, a pizzeria or an ice cream parlour.
After a morning’s sightseeing on my first day in Saint-Malo in June 2008, I was ready for some lunch. On a sunny afternoon, many of the cafes with outdoor seating were full, so I ventured down a shaded side street and stumbled upon Le Medieval.
Le Medieval is located on Rue Herse, next door to an Irish pub, and offers a large choice of snack foods and light meals.
The menu consists mainly of sandwiches, burgers, kebabs, frites, salads and hot and cold drinks. There is no dining area as such, but there are half a dozen chairs at the bar where you can sit and enjoy your meal. Others choose to take their snacks away with them. There were no other customers at the time of my visit, so I ate at the bar while listening to the background music.
Free wi-fi access is available inside the snack bar.
I opted for:
Croque Monsieur - Cost: 4.50 Euros
A cheese and ham toasted sandwich, with a portion of salty frites and a side salad. The cheese was unmistakably French – a tasty white cheese, melted both inside the sandwich and all over the top of it. The ham was thin, but tasty.
Also on the menu, but slightly more expensive, was Croque Madame. I didn’t know how this differed from a Croque Monsieur, so I played safe and stuck to what I knew. My subsequent research informs me that a Croque Madame is a Croque Monsieur with a fried egg on top.
Bottle of Fanta Orange - Cost: 2.00 Euros
A friendly little snack bar in the heart of the Intra Muros – mainly serving sandwiches, kebabs and burgers.

 Shore at Pointe du Grouin by Beausoleil
On a clear day you can see across the Bay of Mont St. Michel and see the abbey perched on its mountain in the hazy distance. There are also walking trails and flower guides . . . or you can just enjoy the peaceful ocean.
Seafood . . . any seafood.

The streets of Saint-Malo’s old town (Intra Muros) are lined with outdoor cafes and ice cream parlours.
During a visit to the city in June 2008, I sat at one of the outdoor tables at ”Captain Ice” Glacier – Salon de Thé on a sunny Saturday afternoon to enjoy a sweet treat after a day of sightseeing.
Captain Ice is located on Rue Jacques Cartier, at the foot of the city’s famous walls and just a few steps away from “La Grand Porte” – one of the main entrances into the walled city.
The menu contains a huge array of ice cream flavours, including a variety of lavish sundaes (some of which contain alcohol) and refreshing fruit flavoured sorbets. Choose from flavours as diverse as cookies and kiwi, coffee and black cherry…and hundreds more!
As well as ice creams and sorbets, Captain Ice also offers a selection of cakes, as well as a good choice of coffees, teas, milkshakes (available in the same flavours as the ice creams), fresh fruit juices and soft drinks.
Prices are pretty steep and clearly aimed at the hordes of tourists that pass by each day. Many of the ice cream sundaes were priced well above 8 Euros, while even a couple of scoops of ice cream were around the 5 Euro mark.
I opted for:
Tarte Citron Meringuee - Cost: 3.60 Euros
A reasonable sized slice of lemon meringue pie - thin pastry, not a great deal of lemon curd and a lot of crispy meringue. Far from the best lemon meringue pie I’ve ever had, but it was ok. Tasted more like a mass-produced store-bought pie than a homemade one.
Jus d’Ananas - Cost: 2.70 Euros
A small bottle of pineapple juice.
One of a number of outdoor cafes/ice cream salons beneath the walls of Saint-Malo’s Intra Muros. A pleasant place to enjoy dessert while watching the world go by – but expect tourist prices! Leave a Comment

 Ben & Amy eat galettes at the
Timothy by KingOfTalossa
The Timothy has at least 40 different varieties of galettes. It's hard to know where to start. All the better if consumed with the local hard cider -- if you can, buy Val de Rance, it is far and away the best.

 Aux Ajoncs d’Or by Beausoleil
Started with a salmon gratin in a wonderful sauce. For our main course, we had chicken and apples in a crust with the best chicken gravy I’ve ever had. This was accompanied by roast potato wedges and a gratin of cauliflower in cheese sauce. It was all heavenly and the bouncy young waitress seemed overjoyed to be serving us . . . and all the other customers. We had a wonderful little round gateau with a chocolate center accompanied by rum raisin ice cream and peach slices in an exquisite vanilla sauce. Great lunch.
Pretty well described above. We couldn't find a restaurant and happened into this little town entirely by accident. What a happy accident! We chose it because there was a parking place right in front. Looked at the menu and decided it would be okay.
What an understatement. It was full of local people and everyone was enjoying themselves. Our waitress was perfect and the food was delicious. It was a delicious and very relaxing meal. It is definitely worth a detour.
