Manoir de kermilven

The first floor of this house overlooking the port sets the scene for many a fine meal. After a remarkable career (Coquillage at Cancale, La Pyramide – Patrick Henriroux at Vienne and the K2 at Courchevel), chef Samuel Selosse now gives free rein to his creativity. Firmly rooted in the zeitgeist and always exquisitely presented, his cooking showcases first-rate ingredients, be they fish or vegetables, giving rise to delicacies such as cauliflower in citrus fruits and fire roasted cuttlefish, brill from small boats, asparagus and seaweed-flavoured hollandaise sauce or a pine-flavoured creamy mi

Nestling in a valley through which a river flows, this former mill sports a stripped-back, industrial-style interior. Two brothers, one in the kitchen and the other in the market garden, concoct healthy, natural cuisine based on seafood ingredients (fish, shellfish, crustaceans) and vegetables, some grown on site; meat is shelved. From the 100% plant-based starter, such as Jerusalem artichoke with lemon and black garlic purée, to the seafood main, like John Dory with cauliflower, vinegar-flavoured shiitakes and fish bone jus, Rolland hits the nail on the head every time!

An explosion of greenery sets the scene for a splendid lineup of dishes, scattered with the odd creative touch. The spot-on result stars punchy flavours and meticulous plating. Meals are served in a magnificent greenhouse or on the alfresco patio that is bliss in fine weather.

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.

The petrol-blue frontage of this restaurant between the River Jaudy and Cathédrale Saint-Tugdual draws the eyes of passers-by. Inside the small rustic-style space, with white roughcast walls, exposed beams and old stonework, an appetising market-fresh menu is served: foie gras marbled with red wine; roast cod with Coco de Paimpol haricot beans; financier with pan-fried apricots. The chef, who boasts a great CV, draws on both tradition and bistronomy to concoct dishes that are inspired by regional produce. Wide choice of wines by the glass. The bill won't break the bank.
