Chez Charlemagne - Île-aux-Moines

Not a bad little eatery serving Sardines which we enjoyed as they were so fresh. Not going to say that this is a gourmet restaurant but good for a lunch time light meal. We ate lunch on what was a floating barge.

Being the only eatery open down at Le Port we chose Charlemagne and were not disappointed.Amiable waiter and good chef made for a very good early evening meal. (19:30)Moules Frites, Gambas in Whisky, 2 Creme Brûlée, 2 drinks & coffee for

The atmosphere was very French and very friendly. A bit like eating in a Junk shop, with beams held up with rusty sockets, but the food was lovely, and we so enjoyed being there. This was (surprisingly) a highlight of our holiday. Just don't sit too close to the exposed wiring in the rusty wall-socket!

The interior of this place is like a really cool second hand shop - this I loved!The food is very good. 4/5.This place is essentially a good find - I would certainly go back! However, you need to be prepared for a few things when you go in order to have a good time;(1) The service is unashamedly cheeky French style (you ask if you can have something and they joke that there is none left then say of course you can have it type thing).(2) if you arrive early - take a drink but don't expect to be called to your table - you have to fend for yourself here (not for the faint hearted but fun nonetheless!).(3) Finally, if you expect to be asked if your meal is ok or if you need any sauces etc then you may be disappointed - put your hand up and shout! The guy that runs this place has a big shrug your shoulders personality but is ultimately charming!Would I recommend this to a friend ? Well I certainly would to my more confident friends! It's great !

After disembarking, keep walking to escape the crowds. Look for the orange umbrellas and you're ready for lunch. There is dining, both inside and out, by why eat inside when one can sit on a barge floating (depending on the tide) in the Gulf of...Morbihan. It's mostly seafood, but what a selection. The risotto along with the clams (with butter and garlic) make for great starters. The squid brochette is enough for two. And the list goes on and on. There's also dessert, but only if you have room.
