I had a delicious grilled chicken (17 euro) from the new menu, highly recommended, and also a soup (6 euros) always good.

Enjoyable Saturday afternoon pints in front of a roaring turf fire. Great pints, great barmen, sport on tv but not loud so perfect to have a chat and just enjoy a few relaxing pints in a great pub.

Great pub the pints are cheap and there's a lot of space. There's no dry cider and as a Breton this is heartbreaking. Usually they start making you pay to get in around 8-9pm because the end part of the pub turns into a nightclub, but I've found that if there's no event it'll often be pretty empty so make sure you're paying for something. There's also an adjacent small pub, you can get in through a door, they do trad sessions almost everyday but young people aren't welcome unless they pay a pint. And the barman's gonna be really rude to you if you're not at the very least 45 years old, that was a bit shocking. Threatening to make you leave when you just want to listen to the music... that one is horrible, but all of the young bartenders in the main pub are super cool. And also there's a baby guinness deal ONLY FOR WEEKDAYS, it's 10€ for 3. Not really worth it tbf but my friends are into it. Yeah so overall great pub and probably the most popular among students
