A croque monsieur, with old dry bread and barely anything inside it, and then for the other dish; a literal tin of sardines heated up... Still in the tin! with some plain boiled potato and some green garnish for €13. So many other options around i regret trying this one

After a visit to L'Amiral, 1 Avenue Pierre Gueguin, Concarneau, France with Paul, we decided to use his photograph of L'Amiral on the front cover of the book. The picture is taken from over on the ramparts of the Ville-Close. We were trying to cover the whole scene from the opening of Simenon's novel, The Yellow Dog, Le Chien jaune. Try the oyster as a starter, and, if they still offer this, the Simenon menu. If you are reading the detective novel whilst you are in this fishing and seaside town do let me know and share your thoughts... you can find me as staff on University of Plymouth website and the book on Google Play bookstore

The food is indeed high quality and very delicious. Our only concern was the impatient jumpy service, somehow not correlating to everything else. read more The food is indeed high quality and very delicious.

Operation on the terrace of the Brasserie was quick and friendly! The food a few days later in the restaurant was divine, the service was excellent. We look forward to our next holiday in Concarneau and will definitely return to L'Amiral. All restaurants have to adhere to the regulations of the authorities in 2020 and certainly 2021, and cannot simply change them arbitrarily in favour of fewer guests. I'm sure Mizzi was kindly informed. And a full-service restaurant is filled. Due to the high quality of the L'Amiral you have to reserve in time and if you get unregistered, you take the risk of not getting in.
