About
Le Bistrot du Rocher occupies a Saint-Malo house on Rue de Toulouse, slightly away from the tourist flow. The interior is spread over two levels, which gives the meal a special character. Friendliness comes before spectacle: you sit down to discover the kitchen’s work and the neighbourhood spirit. The offer depends on the produce available and the season. The pleasure comes from clear plates, well-mastered cooking and fresh sides; the set menu of the day is the best snapshot of the house. Chef Sylvain Delaunay worked at Les Carmes in Rennes. The homemade bread shows care for the simple gestures that lift a bistro’s everyday cooking. The walls carry works by the Rennes artist MioSHe, which immediately sets the Bistrot du Rocher apart from many addresses in the old town. Contemporary art slips into a traditional house without overshadowing the food.
