• TopazeBib 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 celeriac2.5km
• GAMIN After a period of hopping from one time zone to another (Alain Passard, Corsica, Dan Barber's Blue Hill restaurant in the US), it somehow made sense for Charlotte and Bastien Guillochon to set up shop opposite a port! Their "culinary house" (as they call it) is open from breakfast through to dinner and has plenty of cosy corners. Each dish on the menu starts with the name of a vegetable or fruit: split peas, soupe corse and smoked sausage; Pontoise cabbage, green curry and horse mackerel. This modern cuisine is respectful of the environment and expertly crafted.3.9km
• Bris'Art CulinaireBib 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.8.9km
• POPS Pops is the venture of two fledglings who have flown the cosy nest that is La Mare aux Oiseaux, a recognised incubator of talent. At their restaurant set slightly back from the seafront, Corentin Leverger and Océane Maisonneuve pull out all the stops to delight diners with the freshest of ingredients, such as red mullet, monkfish and scallops. Their subtly creative bistronomy rolls out a feast of textures and bold flavours. Right next door, their bistro Locco serves simpler fare.6.6km
