Hotel Le Keréden

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.

Installed in the centre of Lannion, the chef rustles up modern Gallic fare, dotted with Japanese overtones, in tribute to his avowed passion for the Land of the Rising Sun. As a result, some of his high-precision recipes, based on super-fresh Brittany produce (langoustine, lobster, John Dory), are sprinkled with Japanese ingredients such as yuzu, shiitake, miso, etc. Lashings of imagination, art-directed plating, stylish elegance and high-flying technique complete this culinary score. Let’s not forget the warm, colourful interior.

This pretty stone house in Brélévenez (a neighbourhood of Lannion) is run by Priscilla and Christophe Le Marrec. Business is booming and bookings are advisable – at least 2 months in advance! Rather than luck, their success is due to the hard work and talent of the chef, formerly of La Ville Blanche (Rospez), who deftly crafts an intelligent score loaded in flavour. The food is beautifully plated, the bread is house made and the setting is modern and pared back – what’s not to like?

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.

This restaurant at the tip of Trégor province was originally a signal station then a holiday camp before being converted into a restaurant. From the bright interior, you can enjoy a panoramic view over the Bay of Morlaix. But your attention will soon be drawn to the food, which slaloms between regional delicacies and traditional fare. Very good value-for-money.

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.
