Auberge de Meneham - Kerlouan

One of our best meals in france. Local fish and cider, good kids options (beyond the nuggets etc). Reasonable value for money.

I have never given a really poor review before and this is not a review of the food or the location; it's a review of the service (or more precisely the absence of service).We had booked for 7:30 and arrived spot on time. Shown to our table and given menus. There were 2 other tables occupied at the time. Then: nothing happened! After about 10 minutes a large (probably local) party arrived, were fussed over and had drinks within a few minutes. We still sat there, no-one coming to ask for an aperitif order, let alone for our food order. Nobody made eye contact and the staff who ventured into our vicinity seemed to be avoiding and totally ignoring us. (We are not the sort of people you'd cross the road to avoid, nor do we normally complain.)So, after 25 minutes of nothing happening for us (and there were plenty of staff present) we just had enough and left. Even then, no-one seemed to notice or care.Very sad and disappointing, especially as the pricing is such that one would expect a particularly high standard.

At this time we had lunch with different styles of cooking mussels . I decided try with curry, it was yellow. So, it was fresh and cooked well mussels and with dry!!! curry spice on the top, like tree-four table spoons (it was too much), and didn't even mix and cooked together. And I would love ask Chef, who cooked it, did you try eat cooked mussels with dry spices when you can feel curry powder in your mouth?! It should mixed and cooked together before service. I was disappointed with this dish...But my friends didn't have kind of experiment, they was more lucky then me. Thank you for attention.

If half stars could be awarded I would have rated this at three and a half but, out of fairness, have increased this to four. Meneham in Brittany is a lovely part of the country and well worth visiting. Unfortunately this is the only restaurant in the immediate area and the lack of competition shows. The restaurant was clean, the background music was low key and appropriate and the décor was also quite acceptable. We visited out of season (early October) so perhaps the restaurant was not seen at its best. The staff were sometimes helpful and sometimes disinterested and service was slow (even with only 4-5 tables occupied). We found the menu to be quite good although limited in range of choices. Cheapest main course was a baked potato with toppings and a salad at 14.50 Euro. Other main courses ranged from 17-28 Euro. The food tasted good but was warm, rather than hot. Finally, although this is a popular area for tourists from UK, Germany and Netherlands, the menu was only available in French and the waiter/waitress was unable to provide any translation. We would certainly recommend Meneham but suggest that visitors might want to find somewhere else to eat.

Not only is the site really cool and artsy with its little showrooms nearby, but we really enjoyed the fresh fresh fresh mussels and fries. I chose the curry ones and they were to die for. The waitress (too kind) mentioned the Chef had brought back the curry from India himself...Great place to stop and grab a bite. Lovely setting. Very laid back and fun!
