Crêperie Grain noir

What a gem! Delicious crepes, and the staff are welcoming and accommodating! The place fills up fast and dinner time (and for good reason), so get there early if you don’t want to wait!

When visiting Saint Malo on a roadtrip of Britanny, I knew I could not leave the area without having a galette. Having read many excellent reviews of Crêperie Grain noir, I selected it as the dinner spot on my first night in the city. Arriving at the restaurant around 8pm, we were informed that we would have to wait up to 30 minutes to find a table despite only being second in line. We were quickly joined by a much longer queue, and the busy atmosphere only added to my expectations. We ended up only waiting 15 minutes, and having scouted the menu in line were quick to order. The galettes are reasonably priced, and tempted by dijon mustard, I opted to try their namesake special, complete with sausages, mustard and cheese. We also got a bottle of house cider to share, which was very palatable and a good pairing with the galettes. Our galettes arrived quickly, full of a variety of toppings and combinations. Mine was good - but not particularly exceptional - with the mustard very pleasing with the savouriness of the sausages. I sampled three other galettes, a trout laden one and a classic ham, egg and cheese were good but also not spectacular. My favourite, by some distance, was a raw mushroom galette, which was crisp, savoury and dominated by an umami earthy flavour. Whilst I was pleased, but not blown away by the galettes, the dessert crepes fell short. We ordered a flambe with calvados, and a chantilly chocolate, and two limp crepes failed to hit the spot. However, a spiced kir bretagne delighted, crisp and full of warm fall flavours. Overall, for a solid galette I definitely wouldn't look past Crêperie Grain noir, but it would be best to skip dessert.

Delicious!!! The place has a great vibe, the food is delicious. Is always crowded and sometimes you could wait in the line, but is 100% worthy. Veggie friendly. They have a crepe with regional seaweed and is beyond words!!! It was so good that I forgot to take the photo of it.

Small but relaxed and very friendly and welcoming. The galettes were the best we experienced in town, and good house cider too.

Awesome creperie - just 2 staff (chef and waiter) but they were super attentive, friendly and the crepes/galettes were of incredibly high quality! No high chairs but there are benches for the kids

Very nice crêperie. Organic and fresh ingredients. Short list of suggestions on the menu, but very good quality ingredients and flexible to add or remove ingredients. I enjoyed a simple but excellent galette with seaweed tartare for 5.50 Euros. The best is their "Nature" ciders (more than organic) . Especially the changing menu of ciders "à l'ancienne", made in respect of traditional methods, in small volumes, that is written on the black board and may vary from time to time. They have some dry or extra dry, some more fruity on the palate, some come with more acidity, some are rather bitterssweet or a balance of all this... And of course they can help with recommendations to suit your taste or make a good association with your galette of choice.

Food was amazing, the front man was even more awesome. He explained the menu even when they were very busy and accommodated us to sit down. It was a bit cold and I forgot my jumper so he gave me a jacket to have whilst I was eating, which was so kind. Atmosphere was lush with cool chilled vibes and music. Would highly recommend this place for a chilled out, delicious and exciting menu and meal.

Excellent crêperie where everything is organic and locally sourced. The choice of product is really excellent and the products are tasty. Only downside, a slow service.
