La Vieille Auberge

Really enjoyed this place. Picked it from Trip Advisor for a Sunday lunch stop en route to Saint-Malo, about 20 miles away. It was packed, so glad we had booked. It is a family run picturesque restaurant by a small lake and the food was fabulous. Good service too, really helpful, judging everyone's pace of eating well and reacting accordingly. I had tartare of crab to start: this turned up looking absolutely beautiful with lots of little flowers and sauces on the plate - and it tasted every bit as good as it looked. You could taste the freshness of the sea in the fish and it was excellent. The Misses had foie gras - her weakness - and again it was excellent. For main course we both had the carré d'agneau served with wonderfully rich garlic-y gravy and a herbed pesto crust. Thank goodness I was able to pick up the bone to be able to finish it off properly! I would definitely come again - and have the same course again. We had a half bottle of wine and the whole meal cost us Eur 103. I thought it was excellent value.

I cannot sing the praises of this place enough. The location is beautiful around a small lake, with beautiful flowers and garden. You are greeted by very friendly staff who give you time to chose your aperitif. They clearly love food here as each item on the menu will be explained and recommendations for wine given. The menu its self is lovely. Lots of choice and many interesting combinations. You are not rushed to choose or to eat like in England. The homemade bread is warm and tasty and between courses there are complementary 'amuse bouchée' provided. You must visit this hidden gem if you are in the area. The quality is equal to that of any Micheline star restaurant. The price is excellent value for the quality and service you revive.

The highlight of my visit to Rennes last weekend, was an amazing dinner at La Vieille Auberge. The restaurant is located in Hédé, close to Rennes, and everything from the starters and entrees to the desserts and wine pairings were perfectly prepared and considered by Chef Jean-Marc Leffondré. The host, Eric Leffondré, and waiter were prompt and extremely polite, adding the family feeling to an already charming and romantic ambiance with the stunning views on the pond and surrounded by nature.

A very friendly restaurant with an excellent atmosphere. The food was superb and the prices very reasonable. The owner was very pleasant and, what's more, very tolerant of my basic (to say the least) French! A shame it was our last night when we found it or we would certainly have gone back.
