Brasserie du Centre

So, where to start with this review? When we arrived, we had requestsd a table upstairs hoping to take in the view of the village center. Instead, we were shown a two-top table wedged between the wall and the staircase, then told that it was the only table available. When I went upstairs to use the rest room, I saw plenty of other tables open. THEN I watched the same waitress show other guests upstairs. But worse than that, I watched the same waitress show another couple to a more comfortable 4-top table just across from us that was empty when we walked in. Really? But this lunch gets even better! All guests were given a cloth lined wire bowl with bread. The waitress decided she would give us a bare wicker basket with day-old bread. My husband wanted to leave, but I thought it better to stay to write about this restaurant. Glad that I did.I ordered a fish that was somewhat akin to a catfish --- lots of bones, no taste. My husband had a Thai beef stir-fry dish that was 98 percent vegetable, 2 percent beef. The waitress seemed surprised that he didn't want to take a doggy bag. For vegetables ?Needless to say, if you're a local, expect decent service, but for travellers, expect the worst!

There are probably dozens of restaurants within Guerande's town walls serving galettes and moules/frites at lunch-time. We picked this one simply because the weather was awful and we wanted to get indoors, quickly. HOWEVER ... it turned out that we made a good choice, and had a wonderful lunch! Inside was bustling and characterful; the service was friendly and attentive, and the food excellent. I had a galette, my husband had moules/frites, and our young son had "menu enfant", which, unusually - but refreshingly - offered fish. (Almost everywhere we ate on holiday only offered steak hache (aka burger) or chicken nuggets, so the fish was most welcome).

I never had such enormous moules as I did here. The moules marinieres are truly excellent! Certainly enough to share as well. Service was good and they weren't expensive. I highly recommend them but the other dishes looked good also

Great lunch. I had mussels and got loads. It was really busy which is a good sign. Right in the centre of the walled town it is a great place to stop. They were able to help with English when our French came unstuck.
