L'Huitriere - Cancale

I'm partial because this is the only restaurant I visited in the area for seafood. But by golly they serve what I think is the freshest oysters in town! The only place where you'll get fresher oyster than this place is if you dive in the water and get the oyster yourself from the sea. But why do that when you can sit comfortably in this resto and enjoy the fruits of the sea! ;) Happy eating!

At a certain point, specialty restaurants reach a level of excellence that makes them difficult to compare, and so it is with L'Huitriere. Without extensive investigation (which I would gladly do), finding a better informal seafood restaurant would be extraordinarily difficult. As a restaurant that also sells its own oysters, it clearly takes pride in them. They certainly compare incredibly well with other oysters of France and the regional oysters from the East and West Coasts of the U.S We found the dishes generally superb, and in addition to the oysters the John Dory and Seafood Cassoulet deserve particular praise. The sole disappointment was the Fish Soup, which was pureed and counted on croutons and grated cheese (!) for flavor. Good wine list and nice desserts. Service was efficient and friendly, although English speakers might struggle. Prices are very reasonable, and the only barrier is the need to avoid gluttony when faced with a variety of sizes of oysters.

Always a great place to eat, my favourite seafood restuarant in Cancale. Open from 1st March until mid November, extremely popular so wise to book your table in advance.

This has to be one of the best meals I have had in Cancale.We went there 2 years ago, and I wanted to return, and I did not regret it.It is a very simple restaurant, but everything is very good especially the Oysters are very fresh being local. Also the clams langoustine and St Pierre.I would definitely recommend this place wot which looks pretty small from outside, but in fact is quite big once your inside.

We went to Cancale to try the famous flat oysters.At the stand next to the restaurant,we chose our oysters and they were then opened for us.Delicious and a very distinctive taste.What a joy sitting on the rocks watching the harvesting of the oyster beds and throwing a few shells to waiting sea birds.A memorable experience!!!!!Marianne
