L'Alchimiste

St-Malo


Mellow tunes fill this magical and alluring place lined with old books. Take a seat at the bar draped on the wall behind with a red-tasselled theatre curtain, on the carved-timber mezzanine (including a pulpit), where a pile of books helps support the ceiling, or in the wood-heated basement (though the downstairs has little if any character).

There's a decent stock of Belgian and Breton beers.
