Holiday Home With Garden, Auray

The name of this country house is a nod to the nearby island of Gavrinis. The chef, who trained under Pierre Gagnaire, captures the spirit of Brittany as he showcases the produce of this plentiful, vibrant region, with dishes like a medley of locally grown mushrooms (pleurote, shiitake), served roasted, in ravioles and in consommé or red mullet paired with a chervil coulis and a dressing of bone marrow and andouille, or John Dory, artichokes, cured meat, shellfish and a white wine sauce.

Ste-Anne-d'Auray is home to this family-run inn, whose chef is committed to short supply chains and his Auvergne roots. The authentic contemporary cuisine includes crispy pounti with plum; monkfish in red wine sauce, artichoke and salsify.

In this peaceful village on the Gulf of Morbihan, this old crêperie has been given a new vocation by Sophie Coulombel and Rémi Vanoverschelde, both of whom honed their skills in some top-tier establishments. The first dining area looks onto the open kitchen; the second is laid out in a light-filled extension – the contemporary decor is inviting, as is the overall ambience. In the kitchen, Rémi makes full use of the large period fireplace for his wood-fired cooking, including barbacoa tacos, langoustine and confit pork ssam and sheep's cheese bao – all made with meticulously sourced ingredients

A resolutely maritime atmosphere pervades this welcoming restaurant, an institution in La Trinité-sur-Mer since 1965. On the menu: seafood and fish, as well as a handful of options cooked on the open fire. Chef Rudy Deniaud's dishes are packed with textures and flavours, eg pollock served with Chantenay carrots, peas, raspberries and soy. There is a nice selection of wines and a terrace with a pleasant view of the harbour.
