Chez Jacky - Riec-sur-Bélon

Port de Belon was a stop with a small group tour in Brittany with Best of France Travels. The setting was beautiful, including walking along the paths outside Chez Jacky, but the main attraction was the oysters. Certainly a recommendation.

Chez Jacky has a mention in the Michelin Guide, so we were expecting something special. One of our party went for a main of 12 oysters, two types, and was happy with that. I would have gone for the advertised moule mariniere but was told it was not available as the muscles were too small (had a very acceptable plate of moule in Quimper just 2 days later). Decided on the 18 euro with crevettes to start. Reasonable but nothing special, weak sauce and no bread provided to soak up the sauce. Wife and daughter in law went for same 28eruo meal with oysters to start (This is clearly Chez Jacky's speciality). The main came on the 28 e meal cod and vegetables. A small slab of cod, cooked, but with nothing to recommend it, no exceptional tastes, hey boiled fish, and the very few vegetables almost as an insignificant under dressing. The pudding were fine, but nothing exceptional. Staff were friendly and efficient. The ambience is excellent but why let down the experience with (except for the oysters) what was mediocre food.

Wir waren zu viert abends beim Essen. Man sitzt sehr schön am Wasser und genießt den Sonnenuntergang. Aber wenn einem das Ambiente mehr im Gedächtnis bleibt als das Menü sagt dass eigentlich alles. Für mich zu teuer für das Gebotene.

Posto caratteristico in una piccola casetta bretone sull'acqua: niente lusso ma vista sul Belón e arredamento adeguato. Pesce di prima qualità: astice e granchio veramente di livello. Siamo arrivati per pranzo senza aver prenotato e ci hanno subito liberato un tavolo e fatti accomodare. Non merita il massimo del punteggio perché il conto è piuttosto salato e il personale non il massimo della simpatia. In ogni caso è più che consigliato per chi si trovi a passare da quelle parti.

Un lieu à connaître, situé au bord du Belon, très bons produits et service rapide. Une petite note d'humour avec la pose du bavoir.Très bien, à bientôt
