La Mere Champlain - Cancale

I was desperate to find a place to have a Christmas Day meal of seafood and thought perhaps Cancale might have something open. I found La Mere Champlain open and super busy, but they were kind enough to find me a table just for one...person. I was a bit in the middle of things and I did have a companion of sorts, the french bull dog that eyed everything I ate through the whole meal. I started with a shell fish platter that was excellent! I ordered the Bar Filet not knowing it was fish I was not familiar with the term)..Sadly, I could not eat it as it was too fishy for me. I am particular with fish so I blame myself only. I am sure anyone else would have loved it including my short friend)...the dessert was very good. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would go back! I was so happy they were open...Thank you Mere Champlain.

This might not be the best spot on the strip full of restaurants overlooking the Cancale waterfront, but the food is solid and service is good. Not sure why, but the oysters I had (from the beds that you can see from the windows of...this restaurant) were the only ones I ate in Brittany that weren't that great. I'm sure it was an anomaly. Everything else at the restaurant was tasty--including some delicious and reasonably priced wines.

This restaurant is worthwhile visiting. Honest and good cuisine. Prices are good. Mussels were extremely fresh and wonderfully tasty. My daughter had cod. Wonderful dish. The view you enjoy at the window is wonderful. In one sentence, good prices, good cuisine, as a tourist we...were treated like royalty.

A wonderful typical Bord de mer i.e seaside restaurant...Great food, great service and a beautiful view; The menu was very varied and the wine list had something for everyone. A recommendation from our waiter for a red wine turned out excellent and less expensive than...the previous bottle of red we started our diner with. It was a very busy night but we were not rushed out and thoroughly enjoyed our nearly 3h diner (very French! .

Good seafood claimed by the house. Crustacean dishes are generous and fish soup is authentic and homemade. The restaurant is full and the room is pretty noisy. We were served pretty quickly because we arrived at a very late hour.
