The selection typically includes a wide range of fruits, breads, and cakes, which some describe as a classic breakfast offering. While many find the breakfast generous and hearty, a few note its simplicity and suggest more variety could enhance the experience.

Despite these minor criticisms, the breakfast experience is generally positive, fitting well within the serene ambiance of the convent atmosphere.

Dinner
Guests at Accueil du Couvent de Malet have provided mixed reviews regarding the dinner offerings. The meals are generally simple and hearty, with some guests appreciating the uncomplicated, satisfying fare reminiscent of a communal dining experience.

The half-board option is reasonably priced, with vegetables from the garden sometimes incorporated, adding a fresh touch to the meal. It's recommended to reserve dinner in advance, as seats may fill up quickly.

However, some guests found the dinner to be lackluster, akin to cafeteria-style dining.
