The highest concentration of restaurants and cafés in Saint-Malo is found in the city’s central district, Intra Muros. Breton cuisine dominates almost every menu. According to travelers, Saint-Malo boasts the highest density of seafood restaurants per square meter in all of Europe.
The busy tourist life in the city center drives restaurants to compete for every guest, so you’ll find establishments for all tastes and budgets — from gourmet restaurants awarded Michelin stars to small bistros along the seafront.
Looking for a hearty and affordable dinner? Then your best choice is one of the many crêperies. You’ll love Le Corps de Garde café, which offers a stunning ocean view. Prices in Saint-Malo’s cafés are pleasantly reasonable: the dish of the day, such as mussels with fries and a glass of wine, costs around 12–20 EUR.
Prices in upscale restaurants, however, will require a larger budget. For example, dinner at Gilles restaurant, featured in the Michelin Guide, costs gourmets about 40–60 EUR per person.
In the city, you can observe a huge number of restaurants of all kinds. There are traditional restaurants, themed restaurants, fast food and pizzerias, as well as breweries and pastry shops.
