About

A few kilometres from Saint-Malo and Cancale, the Domaine du Limonay offers several ways to dine. Bistrot 1936 is its most relaxed expression: French cooking that loves family recipes, the art of sauces and memorable dishes. It is ideal for a generous lunch or a careful dinner without the length of a tasting menu. The restaurant embraces tradition but brings it up to date, reworking classic French recipes through cooking, textures, seasoning and presentation. A well-reduced jus can play the lead as much as a fine cut of meat or a fish. The house also offers lunch set menus, dishes on the board and a children’s menu. The bistro enjoys the estate’s setting: a terrace, comfortable rooms, a private room and groups on request. It is distinct from La Gouesnière, the estate’s other restaurant, which has a different approach, so choose the right one for your menu, budget and time.
