Maison de Kersalomon

Res nostra mare (or "the sea is our law") is the motto featured on chef Romain Paillet's website and, indeed, his modern, Japanese-inspired cuisine relies solely on what the sea has to offer. The ingredients, such as tuna belly, are impeccably fresh. Thanks to well-balanced condiments and preparations, each plate has plenty of pep… as does the chef, who, passionate about what he does, spends a lot of time in the dining area mingling with his customers. In line with the chef's cooking, the decor has blue walls and more than the odd nod to Japan. The kitchen, literally in the centre of the space

The first restaurant in Finistère to clinch a MICHELIN star (way back in 1933!), the iconic Moulin de Rosmadec is a mecca for Breton gastronomy. It is set against an enchanting backdrop, with its flower-decked terrace on the banks of the Aven, on a site steeped in history - the mill dates back to the 15C. Sébastien Martinez's cuisine is an ode to Brittany's terroir (buckwheat, buttermilk, Plougastel strawberries) and local seafood (spider crab, langoustine, lobster). The chef delivers refined and delicate dishes with robust flavours and characterful sauces: a first-rate dining experience.

This white cottage seems to sit right on the ocean. The chef has chosen this isolated location to craft delicious cuisine in line with his commitment to local surf and turf produce. The result is beautifully presented dishes, such as slow-cooked pork cheeks in cider vinegar served with cabbage and apples baked in salted butter.
