The name of this country house is a nod to the nearby island of Gavrinis. The chef, who trained under Pierre Gagnaire, captures the spirit of Brittany as he showcases the produce of this plentiful, vibrant region, with dishes like a medley of locally grown mushrooms (pleurote, shiitake), served roasted, in ravioles and in consommé or red mullet paired with a chervil coulis and a dressing of bone marrow and andouille, or John Dory, artichokes, cured meat, shellfish and a white wine sauce. A genuine gourmet halt, further enhanced by a ‘sustainable’ interior décor, adorned in driftwood and a soft

Modernity meets conviviality at this gourmet getaway nestled in the Lann Roz hotel in Carnac. The brightly decorated restaurant exudes elegance with its carefully laid tables, shelves filled with cookery books, and contemporary touches. Having trained at Le Bristol and at Taillevent, chef Stéphane Cosnier elevates Breton produce with creativity and precision, while also embracing exotic flavours. Open ravioli with langoustines and artichokes in barigoule, line-caught red mullet with shellfish and green curry, or a delicate bourdaloue tart given a modern twist with strawberries: each plate tell

Only a few minutes from the scenic village of Baden, this quintessential Brittany crêperie will win you over with its authentic expertise and its "kraz" (thin and crispy) galettes – buckwheat pancakes made with organic flour and local eggs. Try the hearty "Ange Aigu" galette, packed with smoked bacon, Guémené andouille sausage and a runny egg yolk, or a butter and sugar crêpe with a pinch of salt. Impressive cider menu with around 30 varieties to choose from. The pleasant terrace for fine weather is the final flourish.

An enthusiastic and friendly young couple, Clément Raby from Paris and Estelle Mercier from the Gard region, have succeeded in turning heads with what they call their “cuisine libre” (“free cooking”). Served in a relaxed setting, this creative, original cuisine is spot on, with recipes that really work and just the right combination of flavours. On their “blind” menus, dishes aren’t announced until after you’ve tasted them so that guests can really give their senses and tastebuds a workout!

Originally from Saint-Brieuc, chef Vincent David used to visit this renowned Vannes restaurant with his grandparents when he was a boy – it was here that he developed a taste for MICHELIN-starred restaurants. A few decades later, after winning over chefs such as Dominique Bouchet and Marc Meneau with his talent, he took over this iconic establishment, which now boasts a pared-back decor. Passionate about meat and fish combinations and a stickler when it comes to the quality of his ingredients, he creates signature dishes with Asian touches, such as crispy langoustine, which comes in different

Set among flower gardens and century-old trees, this fully restored 16C Breton estate has been enhanced by an elegant contemporary extension. In this refined setting, chef Olivier Samson (formerly of La Gourmandière - La Table d'Olivier) showcases his talent. His refined contemporary cuisine is deeply rooted in the local terroir and presented in the form of tasting menus. Celtic produce is handled with precision: Breton abalone with spinach and a pork jus; sole from small-boat fishing with asparagus and kumquat; roast pigeon with cocoa and pigeon leg bonbon.
