Le Phare Restaurant - Cancale

Very fresh seafood. I lived in Brittany for 20years and cancale is simply the best for seafood. I now miss it here in Australia. Can’t wait to visit again. Lovely staff. Had a great evening

Very busy area, they found us a table. We ordered shells marinated and shells Thai, with coconut milk and curry, they were really fun and delicious. We had ordered another dish that had to be canceled because the portions are humiliated! Service was... good and pretty fast. Tables are very close to each other. The paid parking is a walk away. Good price for money

This is a fantastic restaurant right by the sea with a delicious menu that offers for everyone (fish and meat). The children's menu is fantastic (good choice of meat and fish, rice or chips) and the set menus are a good value for money. The service is exceptionally good, especially for French standards. Staff are extremely attentive and are super fast in their waiting skills. We all loved the special touch of a delicious pear **** we received on the house! We were a party of 5 adults, 4 children and a big dog, this was no problem (not like some other restaurants in Cancale who prefer to reject large groups). A huge recommendation, but recommend booking before time.

We chose this restaurant as it offered a 9.9 euro 2 course child menu and typical French cuisine that you will find in Cancale port, where the choice is as wide as the harbour. So we had the 13.90 lunchtime menu ,fish soup which was...tasty and came with all the nice bits, followed by a healthy serving of moules and hand cut frites, half bottle of muscadet and a draft beer. Our daughter had what a can only describe as Michelin style petit fish with rice , being six and faced with a well presented dish in a sauce that only adults would relish we were worried, but she happily devoured it and the ice cream to follow .. it’s nice to know that you can take a chance eat the food you like and keep a six year old happy too with a healthy non fried option .Staff were good and helpfully ensured her main course came out with our starters. We love cancale and it’s good to know we have one new child friendly restaurant to go back to.

Was tempted by the 22.90 euros menu, which happened to be correct value. Oysters were fresh, mussels good, wine ok. Service on the other hand was almost nonexistant. My interaction with a waitress was literally limited to around 10 words not to mention, that I...was asked whether I'm ready to order within 15 seconds after sitting down. Same robotic attitude was reserved to other customers: order, eat, pay and leave without so little as a smile. Maybe it can be explained by the fact that there were a lot of clients and only two waiters, explained but not excused obviously. Hire more people then. Many years ago in Agay I met almost the same attitude from the waitstaff and returned to that restaurant a couple of times nevertheless. But it was the only decent restaurant in town. In Cancale with its variety of decent to excellent restaurants I have a luxury of choosing. And while I still rate this place positively I probably won't come here again.
