“ This was THE BEST meal I had in San Malo. The food was absolutely divine (I particularly loved the salmon- its quite possibly some of the best salmon I’ve had in my life), the atmosphere was so lovely and pleasant to eat in, and our server was friendly and extremely accommodating. You do NOT want to miss this restaurant. It is fantastic and I’m so glad I went because it was a highlight of my trip. ”

“ We found this amazing restaurant in St Malo. We had marinated prawns in a cold mint and pea soup followed by a delicious vegetable risotto in a parmesan foam. The waiter really knows his wines and will provide perfect pairings with your food. We were only in St Malo two nights and were lucky enough to get a table for the second night. We chose the sea bass filet and marinated pork. We were not disappointed. If you are in the area don't miss this hidden gem. Highly recommend! ”

“ Absolutely amazing find! The food was truly Michelin star worthy — every dish was crafted with precision, flavor, and creativity. Cant say enough good word about risotto! The service was exactly as it should be: attentive yet effortless, making you feel like you’re visiting your best friend’s home rather than just dining out. And the prices? Incredibly reasonable for the quality and experience offered. This place is a rare gem that balances excellence with warmth — highly recommended! ”

“ Found this place on Google Maps when looking for high rated restaurants to dine at. I was only in Saint Malo on a day trip from Jersey. Absolutely delicious food, I couldn't fault anything. Food didn't just taste incredible. It was also presented beautifully. Nice tunes playing that created a great ambience. Service was impeccable, friendly, and attentive. Crab, eggs mimosa was my starter, accompanied by a glass of champagne. Main of ray/skate wing, that melted in my mouth, cooked to perfection. This is a definite must if looking for somewhere to dine in Saint Malo. ”

“ My husband and I and his mum and aunt who was also visiting from Australia with us ate in Mana on 19th December. Yes, we were early to the restaurant and were allowed in just after 7 pm. Having been shown to our table we checked out the menu. Once we were able to place our orders we went ahead. Our waiter was very helpful and charming (please note that I had declared that I loved him!). The menu was limited but beautifully prepared, our waiter was a perfect host and gave us advice about our choices. The food and wine was delicious, so too the dessert. I’d highly recommend a visit to Mana if you are stopping off in St Malo. You won’t regret it ”
