Les Dineux Village

The restaurant of Hotel Castelbrac is named after the boat of Commander Charcot, a famous polar explorer. Born in Dinan, chef Julien Hennote has also explored other culinary universes, from the French Riviera to Polynesia. His cooking is testament to his fondness for produce of the local terroir and for sustainable coastal fishing (such as hand-dived scallops and abalone, lobster and seaweed) – demonstrating his respect for resources. His ambitious and elegant dishes abound with flavour; the desserts are wickedly decadent. Cosy dining area and panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, with Saint

Sheltered from St-Malo’s tourist hordes in a district popular with the locals, this handsome contemporary fine dining establishment is the HQ of chef Luc Mobihan, a wizard when it comes to fish, seafood and regional veggies.

Meanwhile, his wife Isabelle gives free rein to her love of table arts and her passion for fine wines (Champagne, Loire, Burgundy, etc.). Suitably slick service.

The contemporary interior, which makes ample use of the light and materials , is admirably paired with the delicate, seafood menu of this country house opposite the estuary.

Here, seafood is magnified with fluidity, delicacy and a naturalness that is stunning, like this lobster in two ways, with its sauces of rare complexity. This is a cuisine that speaks with directnes

Outside the town centre of Saint Brieuc, Aux Pesked embarks you on a journey between land and sea. In an uncluttered interior bathed in light, this eatery celebrates seafood with its briny and veggie-focused cuisine. Local produce and seasonal ingredients are cherry-picked by the veteran chef, who is on first name basis with each market gardener and fisherman. On the menu: tartare of scallops enhanced by fresh herbs, raviole of tender juicy crabmeat in a fragrant stock or a festival of shellfish in a shellfish and seaweed butter jus. Now add an intelligently curated wine list (organic, biodyna

The chef finds his inspiration in deepest Brittany, illustrated by dishes such as crumbly buckwheat in butter and shallots, but is also open to other influences, as the loin of roast croaker, grenobloise seasoning and shellfish bisque illustrate. Well-crafted food, cheerful service, a digestible bill and only a few knots from the beach.

This friendly bistro in the heart of this small coastal village occupies a charming building opposite the church. The space has been completely renovated in a contemporary style, while retaining nods to the past.

Front of house, Sonia Quéro provides dynamic service and a friendly welcome.
