Established since 2018 in the picturesque, medieval village of Locronan, Thibaud Érard’s Menhirs (or Ar Maen Hir in the local dialect) are depicted by a trendy bistro interior. The mood is lively and relaxed both in the dining room and the kitchen. The culinary score in the zeitgeist unveils consummate technique and seeks to showcase its region: poultry croq’monsieur, fillet of pork with a millefeuille of potatoes and an extravagant millefeuille of wafer-thin crêpes and caramel to finish. Simple, sincere and warm-hearted – what more could we want?
