Les Forges de Paimpont

Had a very pleasant dinner here in a historic room overlooking a lake.The large fireplace next to me was great. I understand this is a 600 year old establishment having once been the cookhouse for the local forge. The building oozes history and is obviously well thought of by the locals. If you wish to visit over a weekend I suggest booking in advance. It was nice to see the menu offering a relatively limited À la carte choice plus three set menus priced at Euro 35 (Menu Gourmand) or the more modest Euro 30 and Euro 25. Our food was delicious and washed down with a bottle of Graves at Euro 26. The starter was very interesting (see photo). We were attended to by the owners wife who like all t...

We were the first guests that evening and the owner cook and the hostess came to welcome and chat with us. We talked about our visit to broceliande and how could it be otherwise the heat that day. The owner showed us the decor in the bar which was made by a local artist. Really interesting. The cook had prepared a wild boar pie which we chose as an entree. We were given two plates, the tureen and homemade pickles. The main course was scallops with a sauce of morels. In one word: delicious. Add to that the beautiful setting, the nice service and the beautiful weather... Truly one of the highlights of our trip to Brittany. Highly recommended!

a restaurant that will stay in our taste buds for a good time. : a quality ratio never seen : menu at 19 € I had taken the terrine game in entry: you get the full terrine and you serve (very good) my spouse had chosen the gizzard salad: in another restaurant, the amount of gizzards would have served at least 2 customers. Pick up the cake with a fine dessert, the decoration is very rustic, with hunting trophies on the walls. It’s not my taste, but it’s good with the place: local cuisine in the heart of the brocéliande forest. in summary: an address to be recommended for those who love local cuisine.

Lovely dining room,makes you feel as if your in a light and airy hunting lodge. With a wood burning fire,on which they cook some of the steaks and brochettes on.The staff are very efficient, but in a slightly casual way.The food is all freshly prepared,and of excellent quality. They are known for their terrine which you help yourself to at the table,with a jar of onion marmalade.The oysters are large and of the finest quality. I would also recommend the fillet steak,again highesr quality and double the size of other restaurants,also the duck brest.All togther a truly lovely restaurant.

wow.... where to start?! we were advised this restaurant from the hotel we were staying at, and even though we were tired we still decided to go.... and thankfully I can add! the restaurant is in the middle of nowhere (by the way be careful when you drive at night as there is a lot of wild life around) and it is truly amazing. They have a pretty wide range of choice, products and home made and very fresh and the restaurant itself is very bucolic. Have fun and please try one of the menus, it is worth the money!!
