While in Saint-Malo, Carter discovered a Michelin-starred gem called Pourquoi Pas — literally, “Why Not?” Nestled in Dinard, a charming seaside resort town just across the estuary, the restaurant sits within Castelbrac, a cliffside hotel that seems to hover gracefully above the water. The setting alone promised something special.

As we settled into our table overlooking the bay, the waiter revealed that the evening’s entire tasting menu would be dedicated to one star ingredient: lobster. We exchanged a few curious glances — an all-lobster menu felt like a culinary gamble — but any hesitation quickly faded. Each course unfolded like a love letter to the sea, and by the second bite, our trepidation had given way to pure delight. The surprise hit on the menu was a lobster sausage, easily one of the best lobster preparations and sausages I have had the pleasure of consuming.
