For those lucky enough to have travelled on the new St Malo ferry for Brittany ferries, can you give me the run down of the restaurants as i am a bit confused?
The new ferry has a number of brasseries and restaurants and as I am a fan of the restaurant with the buffet and the a'la carte meal, can you let me know if this still exists?
One of the things that started our holiday was the restaurant meal with waiter/ess service, does this still exist?
Also has anyone tried the plant based restaurant/brasserie on board and what was the verdict, as i am dairy intolerant and this sounded quite good?
Any info would be good re the St Malo route.
Thanks

The on board restaurant whch fits your wish list on the new ship called Saint Malo is named Les Abers. An internet search with that name will give you two dozen reviews which tell you all about it.

We are using the new St Malo ferry in April to return to France after visiting family and friends in England.
We always use the self service buffet whichever BF route we choose (always overnight) - usually out via Caen and return via St Malo. As regular travellers the discount we get on the evening meal usually means we only pay for a bottle of wine. Like the plated salads / charcuterie and the puds esp lemon or lime flavoured.

My wife reports a number of reviews on the Brittany Ferries passenger forum Facebook group.
The restaurant with table services (pick your starter from buffet first) seems well rated - others less so. Main gripe appears to be the queuing eg you might pick a salad - normally you could then move down to sweets, drinks, till. Now you have to cobtinue to queue all the way down with people past hot meals etc. Also reported fewer tills.
Tables reported to be very small and difficult for the large trays provided.
