Restaurant in Vitré, France
Michelin value without the Paris price tag.
Entre Nous has earned back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmands (2024 and 2025) and a 4.9 Google rating across 163 reviews — a combination that is hard to argue with at the €€ price point. Chef Dino Toppmöller runs a compact, modern kitchen in Vitré's medieval centre that delivers serious cooking without destination-restaurant spend. Book a week or two ahead; walk-ins are a risk you don't need to take.
When a restaurant in a mid-sized Breton town holds a 4.9 Google rating across 163 reviews and carries back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition for 2024 and 2025, it stops being a local secret and starts being a booking decision worth making deliberately. Entre Nous, on Rue d'en Bas in Vitré, is the kind of place that earns those numbers by being genuinely good at a price point — €€ — that makes the Bib Gourmand designation feel earned rather than consolatory. If you've eaten here once and left wondering what to do next time, this portrait is for you.
At the €€ price tier, Entre Nous operates in a register where the room has to do some of the work. The address , a side street in Vitré's medieval centre , keeps the atmosphere intimate by default. Without confirmed seat counts in the data, it would be wrong to call it a twelve-seater or a forty-cover dining room, but the Bib Gourmand profile and the address suggest a compact, personal-scale space rather than a brasserie operation. That intimacy is a feature worth planning around: this is not a venue for loud group celebrations or last-minute walk-ins when a full table is needed. It rewards the two- or four-leading who have booked and are here to eat seriously at a fair price. The spatial character , a neighbourhood dining room rather than a destination restaurant , also shapes what kind of evening this is. Expect conversation to be possible, the room to feel considered rather than theatrical, and the service pace to reflect a kitchen that cooks to order.
Chef Dino Toppmöller's cooking is filed under Modern Cuisine, which at the Bib Gourmand level in France typically means a short menu , often three to four courses , built around seasonal product with some technical ambition but without the ceremony of a tasting menu operation. The Michelin Bib Gourmand is awarded specifically to restaurants offering good cooking at moderate prices, so the expectation here is market-driven plates executed with care, not an eight-course progression. If you came last time and ordered the obvious route through the menu, consider asking the team about any shorter or longer format options available , kitchens at this level often have more flexibility than the printed menu suggests. The cuisine type label points to a kitchen that is not locked into classical Breton tradition but is working with the product of the region through a contemporary lens.
Vitré is a working medieval town with a tourism peak in summer and a quieter rhythm through autumn and winter. For Entre Nous specifically, the Bib Gourmand profile suggests the kitchen is cooking year-round, not seasonally closed, but the optimal visit timing depends on what you want from the room. Midweek in the off-season is likely to offer the quietest service and the most attentive pacing. A Friday or Saturday in July or August, when Vitré's old town draws visitors, will probably fill the room and tighten kitchen time. If late evening dining is your preference , whether that means arriving at 8:30 PM or sitting until the kitchen closes , a midweek booking in a quieter month gives you the leading chance of an unhurried finish. Unlike a Paris brasserie that serves until midnight, a restaurant of this size and format in a town like Vitré will have a natural closing rhythm: book for an early-ish seating if you want to be sure of a full kitchen, and arrive on time. There is no confirmed late-night service data for Entre Nous, so if you are specifically planning a late dinner, it is worth confirming the last seating time directly when you book.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which at a Bib Gourmand restaurant in Brittany is a genuine advantage over Paris or Lyon equivalents , you are not fighting a 6-AM reservation window. That said, Easy does not mean ignore it. Back-to-back Bib Gourmand recognition brings word-of-mouth, and a small room fills faster than its price point might suggest. Book a week or two in advance for weeknights; for weekends or summer, two to three weeks is safer. The address is 20 Rue d'en Bas, 35500 Vitré. No booking platform or phone number is confirmed in the data, so your leading approach is to search the restaurant directly for current contact details. The €€ price range positions this well below destination-restaurant spend: expect a full dinner for two with wine to land comfortably under what you would pay for a comparable Michelin-flagged meal in Rennes, let alone Paris.
Entre Nous sits at €€ with two consecutive Bib Gourmands. If you are deciding between this and the broader tier of serious French restaurants, the comparisons worth knowing are all in a different category. Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen, Mirazur in Menton, and Troisgros - Le Bois sans Feuilles in Ouches are all €€€€ operations with three Michelin stars , a different budget and a different commitment. Flocons de Sel in Megève or Bras in Laguiole are destination restaurants requiring a journey and a serious spend. Entre Nous is not competing with that tier. It competes with every other serious neighbourhood restaurant in the Ille-et-Vilaine where a Bib Gourmand has not been awarded two years running. On that measure, it wins on recognition and on value.

Vitré bars, wineries, and experiences are also covered if you are building a longer stay around the meal.
Book Entre Nous if you want a Michelin-validated modern cooking experience at a price that does not require a special-occasion budget. The 4.9 rating across 163 reviews is unusually consistent for a restaurant of this profile and strongly suggests the kitchen delivers the same standard across services, not just on the nights critics show up. For a returning visitor, the priority is to give the menu more room than you did on the first visit: don't rush the meal, and if the kitchen offers any supplementary dishes or format variations, take them. This is a restaurant worth going back to.

What to weigh when choosing between Entre Nous and alternatives.
Entre Nous sits at the €€ price tier with a Bib Gourmand recognition — the kind of restaurant where neat, relaxed clothing fits naturally. Think tidy casual rather than formal. A jacket is not expected, but you will feel out of place in beachwear or athletic gear. The address on a side street in Vitré's medieval centre sets a relaxed but considered tone.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which is a genuine advantage over Bib Gourmand equivalents in Paris or Lyon. That said, a 4.9 rating across 163 reviews and back-to-back Michelin recognition means tables do move. Aim to book at least one to two weeks ahead, more during summer when Vitré sees its tourism peak.
At the Bib Gourmand level in France, menus tend to be short and structured — typically a fixed-format offering with limited substitution flexibility. check the venue's official channels via their address at 20 Rue d'en Bas, 35500 Vitré to confirm what they can accommodate before booking. Specific dietary information is not documented in available data for this venue.
At the €€ price point with two consecutive Bib Gourmands, Entre Nous delivers Michelin-validated modern cooking without a special-occasion budget — that ratio is the core argument for booking. Bib Gourmand recognition in France specifically signals good cooking at a price below the starred tier, so the format is built around value. If you want à la carte flexibility, confirm the current menu structure when you book.
Entre Nous is the primary Michelin-recognised option in Vitré itself. For more options in the Bib Gourmand category across Brittany, the region has a solid spread of recognised addresses, though most require travel from Vitré. If your priority is staying local and getting Michelin-level value, Entre Nous is the clear answer in this town.
