Restaurant Le St-Leonard - Fougères

We chose this restaurant online, from pf many available in fougeres because the menu looked interesting. the food was good, but the reception was inhospitable. we had to wait 45 minutes before we even offer the menu and a carafe water. we had waited for our food for a long time. the chefpatron is surly, rude and unfriendly.

The owner is so rude that he can even make the facial expressions of behind a mask.... average food desserts better described than gloomy would seem they prefer less business they should be careful what they want.

We, three couples, were there to eat, it must be a popular, well accepted eating in the city as it was pretty busy. I tried either the choice of the mainbeef, the Irish option or the black angus, but none was available. I chose a...XL cut that was on average in quality and preparation. the most disappointing was the rough and negative attitude of the lady owner. would not recommend le st. leonard.

Plenty of customers (we visited at a lunch time), good sign, could take our dog in without any problem, great. Really enjoyed the food, they have a speciality that is giant chicken or beef kebabs on the biggest skewers you 've ever seen which have to...be put on a stand in the middle of the table, they come with a choice of side dish, they went down very well with everyone, a wow factor for sure, saying that, lots of other choices too, eg I had a 'posh ' jacket potato with salad and all the dishes seemed to be done with care and well presented. They seemed to have a Basque link, I think some of our group had beer from the region and the ladies kirs had many creme option, I can personally recommend rose, Violette and strawberry flavoured kir! When the restaurant got slightly less busy there was more time for the staff to interact with their customers. Nobody could manage a dessert, we were all too full! Nice decor too!

After several days of indifferent French food French in shoddy French restaurants we found this gem. Forget the aforementioned reviews about anglophobia. The proprietor is a proud Basque who probably does not even like the French! The Biarritz rugby shirt behind the bar gives all...the necessary clues. The food reeks of the wonderful south west. Huge 'rugby ' portions. Hearty cassoulet with 'tres fort ' Cahors which filled me up so much i couldn 't face petit dejunner next morning. The proprieter is a character with lots of gallic gestures; I am upset that my fellow countrymen and countrywomen do not 'viva la difference ' Go there hungry and have fun!!!
