Brit Hotel Confort Lannion Centre Gare

This pretty stone house in Brélévenez (a neighbourhood of Lannion) is run by Priscilla and Christophe Le Marrec. Business is booming and bookings are advisable – at least 2 months in advance! Rather than luck, their success is due to the hard work and talent of the chef, formerly of La Ville Blanche (Rospez), who deftly crafts an intelligent score loaded in flavour. The food is beautifully plated, the bread is house made and the setting is modern and pared back – what’s not to like?

In a village south of Lannion, this former crêperie has been taken over by chef Laure-Marie Darteyron and pastry chef François Spenlehauer, who also runs the show front of house. The Corsican name of this place means "together", and the owners work as a team to deliver good honest cuisine based on Breton produce and with a Mediterranean flourish: house-made pasta with spider crab, scallop carpaccio with citrus, pollack with fregola sarda and Breton curry. Exposed stonework and wooden furnishings make for a warm decor in keeping with the friendly vibe.

This bright restaurant with wooden floors and pale wooden furniture hits all the buttons. Baptiste and Laura are committed to mindful cuisine that draws on the riches of nature from creamy spelt, butternut, spicy peanuts and lemongrass to seabream, mushrooms and a creamy stock. Vegetables, herbs and spices are intelligently balanced and sometimes enhanced with the odd spicy or even fiery note to awaken and set the taste buds tingling. The focus is entirely on delivering good food that is as vibrant as it is veggie, courtesy of local ingredients and a zero waste ethos.

This granite, glass and steel structure commands a breath-taking panoramic view over the coast and the bay of the Sept-Îles archipelago from its chic black-and-white interior. The subtle, meticulous cuisine oscillates between classicism and creativity, with the occasional more exotic note, such as raviole of duck foie gras and tonka bean cream or Breton lobster rubbed in saté and served with a red lentil houmous. From Tuesday to Saturday, the evening menu errs towards ambitious, with a more bistronomic streak the rest of the time.

In this Breton "auberge" at the foot of the church, the charm of exposed beams and stonework meets contemporary cuisine. At the helm, Brieg Le Cam (formerly of Les Hauts de Loire in Onzain) composes dishes inspired by his terroir, which are both precise and instinctive. Proceedings kick off with lively and indulgent amuse-bouches – a crispy cone with coco de Paimpol beans, sausage and airy potato purée from the whipping siphon – followed by finely crafted dishes such as a medley of gurnard and carrots or buckwheat rice pudding. You'll want to return again and again.

Close to the town centre, Gwinizh Du – which means "buckwheat" in Breton, referring to the key ingredient in savoury pancakes – is shaking up the crêperie genre with an inventive menu. In an intimate, contemporary bistro-style space with an open kitchen, they serve galettes that are firmly local: 90% of the ingredients are sourced from within a 30km radius. The original creations, some even made with fermented foods, change with the seasons. And purists can compose their own savoury galettes and sweet crêpes, choosing from the list of carefully selected ingredients chalked up on a slate board.
