Futé has often regretted that the Place Ambroise Courtois is not much frequented during other occasions other than traditional market. A new terrace opening onto the Villa Lumière and a new address offering us a good reason to change our habits and to go on this side of the square to discover the kids (Les Gamins). Let's bear in mind that, during our visit in summer, everything seemed not to be well in their right place yet - especially in the kitchen - but the good will of young people was pleasing to see - especially the service which offered us a glass of cider to compensate a prolonged waiting time. An address to follow, but nice intentions which can be noticed first by the reading of a menu written on school notebook paper displaying many kinds of homemade cakes and pancakes made with good products. On the table of honour, the "best specialities" and recommendations of the Kids, such as this "butter/sugar/lemon" with good salt crystals of a Breton butter. Several ciders, a Breton Saint-Dove beer, an excellent coffee by Voisin and craft café from Pedone. Verdict: can still make progress, but a good start on the right track for the kids who give new lease of life for place a bit sleepy. Cheers!
Members' reviews on LES GAMINS DE LA PLACE
J y suis déjà venue il y a un petit moment et c était très bien. Mais je ne reviendrai plus. Service mou et peu réactif (peut-être des débutantes) , galettes et crêpes chères (15€ la galette ...).
Il semblait ne pas y avoir de direction ce jour là. Du personnel avec un peu de sourire aurait été agréable à défaut d être efficace.
Le point positif était qu on a pu manger en terrasse, mais il ne fallait pas être pressé....et pourtant le restaurant n était pas plein.
Le service est OK. Le cadre gagnerait à être plus chaleureux.
