B&B ~ Repos Sous les Arbres

This eminently hospitable inn upholds culinary traditions rich in textbook technique and indulgent, spot-on flavours. Christophe Le Fur, born at Cap Fréhel, is thriving in his homeland as he crafts bold, crisp dishes oozing in generosity. The chef, who cherry-picks his ingredients, demonstrates the full scope of his talents (particularly in the field of sauces, one of the house’s signatures!). Brittany lobster and sweetbread sautéed in butter with creamy morels in Noilly; poultry pie in a tarragon jus; without forgetting the flamboyant crêpe flambée to finish your meal on a high.

Chef Damien Le Quillec named his restaurant after his two grandfathers. In this unusual setting – previously a garage, cleverly converted into a contemporary loft – he channels his talent into crafting ambitious dishes that appeal to the modern palate. Meanwhile, he has opened a convivial little bistro next door – Numéro 100, where he serves bistronomy fare in a home-from-home atmosphere.

Set in a peaceful Brittany village, this authentic inn dripping in charm has been run by an enthusiastic couple for over a decade now. Wholesome cooking, savvily curated recipes and a spotlight on small local producers and artisans. Single set market-fresh lunchtime menu; more elaborate lineup in the evening. Rustic interior scattered in antiquey paraphernalia and a casual, friendly vibe.

On the shores of Brittany’s largest freshwater lake, Guerlédan, this restaurant enjoys a premium location with the bonus of a panoramic view (best from the first room). Chef Teddy Le Padellec rolls out indulgent, contemporary bistronomic-centric cuisine: tartare of asparagus, smoked eel, andouille and hollandaise sauce; deep-fried cod, smashed vitelotte potatoes; grapefruit, meringue and a delicate wafer-thin cookie. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a peaceful vibe set the scene in this good food outfit bathed in light.

A welcoming rustic-style interior (tablecloths, English crockery), friendly service and skilfully executed cuisine: Stéphane Ollivier and his wife Corinne certainly know how to receive guests. The generous dishes are made with plenty of good local ingredients (eg scallops, oysters, Breton cheeses) and include tasty local specialties, such as roast duck breast strips with cider and tarragon sauce.

In the centre of Loudéac, it is a pleasure to be here in this large, inviting and colourful room, done out in a contemporary bistro spirit that fosters a friendly and lively atmosphere. A couple who have earned their stripes in the industry work in tandem, cooking – he is in charge of the savoury dishes, she the desserts – and managing the service together. Lunch is unbeatable value for money. In the evening, the menu is more ambitious, as you can tell by the premium ingredients that go into the mouth-watering dishes: tandoori-roasted langoustines, monkfish à l'armoricaine, and a puff pastry p

Located in the centre of Morlaix and surrounded by gorgeous half-timbered buildings, this recently opened restaurant is run by a chef who is no stranger to MICHELIN-starred kitchens. His original cuisine marries Breton ingredients with more exotic (particularly Asian) influences – combinations of flavour that delight the taste buds and come in generous portions, eg pollack fillet, cauliflower mousseline and kumquat hollandaise.
