Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The dishes are really innovative with a great combination of tastes and flavours, what makes it special. Great attention from the waitress. 45€ for the menu, including dessert, is an accurate price but 8€ for a bottle of still water seems excessive

I understand there is a new owner and see most reviews are over a year old. Our experience was that the food was hardly haute cuisine, but rather ordinary dishes without interesting flavors. No better than you would get at most decent restaurants in France....But the portions were miniscule, the silverware was changed after each course, everything could have been eaten with a spoon, and the ingredients were nothing special as far a quality. Our araignee de porc was small cubes of chewy pork on a bed of mashed peas with no special flavor. The strawberry desert was about four or five strawberries cut into quarters and mixed with what tasted like yogurt. But the waiter assured us it took seven chefs to prepare. Sounded more like a justification than an explanation. Nice presentation, but very little to present.More

We had dinner at la Tête de l'Art on June 18th. It was our 3rd time in this restaurant but the first time with the new owner. We chose the "Artistes" fix menu? Both starters were delicate and tasty and both main courses were delicious....We chose Tiramisu for 4 of us and Grué caramélisé for one. This is gourmet cuisine. We ordered a bottle of Croze Hermitage white that paired well the starters, and a bottle of Fitou to accompany the main courses. We highly recommend this restaurant and will return at the first opportunity.More

You cannot understand how they create the delicious dishes until you see the kitchen staff. Easy to underestimate, but beautiful setting, friendly host (we had a dog with us, no problem) and products from the region. Semi-star like plates. No mistakes, good wine as well...A treasureMore

I took four of our French friends here for lunch to celebrate a fortieth wedding anniversary. There was a wedding party in the main room upstairs but we had a small private room which was excellent. The menu was varied and most of us chose...the "Menu du Jour" which was good value. The event was spoilt by the Manager (?Owner?) making some arrogant and patronising comments about my choosing to drink Breton Cider as an aperitif, remarking that if I wanted Cider, I should go to the local Pizzeria! He then stated, with a snarl, that he did not serve Cider in his restaurant but could offer me a Breton beer. What a stupid, ignorant man! Every restaurateur knows that you should always try to give your clients what they want! It was a shame because his behaviour upset my party and pretty well ruined what would have otherwise been a very enjoyable meal and occasion.More

Beautiful outdoor setting in a castle setting. The food was great and the staff provided some toys to keep kids amused.

This is a very pleasant restaurant which serves excellent food only let down by very poor slow service (we waited for over 30 minutes before being offered a drink) and clearly an anti-brit sentiment by some key staff.

Very nice restaurant with very good food. Service was excellent. We started out making the most of the terrace, but as the weather changed negatively, we moved inside. Service very good and food tasty. I had langoustine with tomato + pigeon, madam had foie gras...+ beef. She asked for the beef well done, but it was then a little tough (I blamed her!).More

Beautiful setting for a beautiful meal on a summers evening. The food was sensational and the service was exquisite, presumably all arranged for my 70th birthday of course. 3 fantasic courses which were perfect for the ocassion and will remember it for ever.

Yesterday, as a family, we took a trip to Guérande and checked on tripadvisor which restaurant was the best place to eat. Once again, the "tripadvisors" didn't let us down. We booked in at La tête de l'art (which incidentally is a play on words:..."Tête de lard" with a 'd' means Pigheaded, an insult used in French as it is in English to talk of someone stubborn. "L'art" on the other hand is ART and therefore means "The head/chief of art"). The meal was exceptional but it was the service that made a huge difference. Cathy and her staff were very welcoming. From the moment we walked through the walled entrance Cathy wanted to make our stay special - and she succeeded. The meals are a little expensive - unless you have the Dish of the Day you'll be paying about 8 euros for a starter and 20 euros for the main meal. We spent on average 35 euros per person including aperitif and a bottle of wine. But the setting is perfect. The locals love it - the restaurant was fully booked. Save up, book early and enjoy this amazing experience with Cathy and her staff.More
