About

In a small street of Saint-Malo’s walled town, Caroline and Étienne Corson have created a restaurant with character, where a warm welcome goes with precise and generous contemporary Breton cooking. La Fourchette à Droite hides behind a discreet façade in Intra-Muros, away from the constant bustle of the busiest streets. This small restaurant offers something precious in a tourist town: the feeling of entering a real home where people take the time to welcome you. The limited number of seats makes it intimate, which is why it is worth booking ahead. The address relies on a complementary duo: Étienne Corson cooks, while Caroline sets the pace and the friendly tone of the dining room. The simple setting leaves pride of place to the produce and flavours. Regional produce and the seasons guide the menus. Fish from the coast, vegetables and meat feature in clear, contemporary cooking, where side dishes add depth rather than clutter. Dishes such as a slow-cooked egg with Jerusalem artichoke and foie gras, or confit lamb with seasonal vegetables and a reduced jus, show the care given to contrasts and sauces, as examples rather than promises for the day’s menu. The ramparts, the cathedral and the walks of the old town are a few minutes away, and the stroll to Bon-Secours beach is a natural follow-on. In summer, allow extra time to get around Intra-Muros on foot, as parking can take longer than expected.
