La Mare aux Oiseaux
Creative · ★ Michelin
€€€€
A globetrotter and keen ornithologist, (with birds fluttering freely in his garden,) Éric Guérin has invented a universe that is uniquely his own. On an island ringed by circular canals, in the heart of the Brière Regional Nature Park, he has immersed himself in his terroir, all the better to serve up his own superb take on it. Indeed, the chef is an artist at heart, whose first passion is "creating". It is in the kitchen that he has found "his mode of expression", and for that we are grateful to him! Using first-class ingredients, he crafts appealing "natural" dishes that are rife with person

Anne de Bretagne
Creative · ★★ Michelin
€€€€
On the south bank of the Loire estuary, this imposing contemporary building overlooks the small port of Gravette. Talented chef Mathieu Guibert, a local lad from the Retz region and a farmer’s son, has forged solid ties, founded on respect, with producers from the region who are as passionate about what they do as he is. It is no surprise that seafood plays a star role here. Depending on the catch of the day, the menu might feature lightly cooked prawns, pommes soufflées (‘puffed potatoes’) and an infusion of green cardamon; risotto of haddock, langoustine carpaccio and parmesan emulsion; stuf

Auberge des Deux Magots
Modern Cuisine · Bib
€€
All the charm of an old Breton house in a pretty little town full of character. The refined and creative cuisine showcases seasonal regional produce. At lunchtime, there's a mouth-watering market-inspired set menu that represents remarkable value for money. The line-caught pollack served with buckwheat risotto with squid ink is on point! Even better, the chef bakes the bread himself.

This little gem of a restaurant in the town centre is intimate, inviting and irresistible. It was opened by a couple of professionals (who met at William Ledeuil's Ze Kitchen Gallery, in Paris); he operates in the kitchen, she front of house. The chef proves himself to be a master craftsman who leaves nothing to chance, and you can expect fresh, local produce based on seasonal availability, gentle and precise cooking, flavours and colours. We feasted on the beef tartare with an iced oyster cream dotted with samphire, followed by unilaterally pan-seared pollock with mashed potatoes and celeriac

Le 11 Bistrot Gourmand

In the heart of Pontchâteau, this urban bistro is run by seasoned chef Gilles Charpy. Against a contemporary backdrop, he serves up appetising dishes made with market-fresh ingredients, such as white asparagus cream soup and Serrano; navarin d'agneau (lamb stew) and spring vegetables; choux chantilly with strawberries and rhubarb. Smiling service.

There is space for just eight diners at the large counter laid out face to face with the kitchen, plus a few more tables to the rear. Every day, a single fish-forward set menu is improvised by chef Guillaume Brisard, who has forged an impressive culinary path (Fort de l'Océan in Le Croisic, Le Skipper in Saint-Nazaire). Fine ingredients inspire his dishes, which you can savour as you engage in conversation with the chef.

Facing the Grande Plage de Tharon, this bright seaside bistro is an offshoot of chef Mathieu Guibert's restaurant, Anne de Bretagne. You can get a taste of the sea, both in the dishes (some of which, such as the seafood platters, are for sharing) and in the surrounding scenery. Vegetarian and meat options are also served. The impeccable quality of the dishes benefits from the chef's network of suppliers. From the fried prawn amuse-bouche to the new take on vitello tonnato, and not forgetting the smoked trout, everything is on point. The service, provided by a young, smiling team, is the epitom

La Marine
Creative, Seafood · ★★★ Michelin
€€€€
La Marine has had a facelift. In the elegant new setting, opt for the extensive tasting menu, which is constantly updated depending on the season's produce. It showcases the finest ingredients with a noble touch and a simplicity only attained by the world's top chefs – who know what and where to strip back and pare down to release the flavours and tantalise the diner's imagination. The quality of the fish, seafood and vegetables is exceptional. Alexandre Couillon's other talents include cooking over a fire, harvesting coastal plants, preparing fruit coulis, vegetable pickles, stock reductions
