Bistro Ernst - Tréguier

One of our party of 3 has a severe food intolerance on sea food. On recommendation of Jean-Pierre from Poissonerie Moulinet we booked a table with Frédéric at le Bistro d‘Ernest for the next day. We got a combo of fruits de mer from Jean-Pierre (take away to le Bistro) with a fine selection of fine honest Breton food and wine. A great dining experience in an awesome place.

On Saturday, we called at J P Moulinet, poissonnerie, (just up the street from the bistrot and who was about to close as we hoped to dine at his place. He told us to walk down to the bistrot, ask for Frederic, book a table and come back which we did. He then made up a fruit de mer platter for two (about 50€ which we took down to the bistrot were our table was set, rather craftily, in the window. Bread, wine, desert, coffee and some delicious Breton digestives followed (57€ and any number of passers by saw our supper and came in. A very happy dining experience that evolved somewhat by chance and with the help of Frederic and M. Moulinet became a memorable evening. Thank you Le Bistrot D'Ernest and J P M.

Our starter was way over, the steak of our son was raw and he had a gastroenteritis the afterwards and the citron cake we had for desert was burned in the oven.

Happy welcome by friendly member of staff who spoke good English. We started with a Kir Breton whilst making our choices. We chose the menu De La Jour at 16e that had a good selection for each course. The Gratin de Moules were tasty as was the pate. I have had nicer steaks but the sauce was good. The Travers De Porc was tender and very good. Finished with a Crème Brule and a Ile Flottant, both were superb..Parking opposite apart from when the morning market is in town.

I'm so surprised to see negative reviews of this place! We still talk about how much we loved our time here! We came into Bistro Ernest for dinner one night without a reservation and without speaking very much French. We felt so welcomed and chose a 3-course meal with a bottle of wine. Our waitress was so incredibly kind, patient, and sweet. She brought my husband a glass of white wine to enjoy with his fois gras. Each course was portioned nicely and well-seasoned. We found the chef and the server to be quite charming and were disappointed we couldn't visit again during our stay. I would definitely go back and recommend it to others!
