• Le FlaveurBib This restaurant is tucked away in a side street set back from the marina and the walled city. Harmony reigns in the kitchen, where a duo of chefs composes dishes made with ultra-fresh ingredients. Locally sourced produce takes pride of place on the menu: buckwheat, the daily catch of small local boats, Brittany-reared pork, Bruyère Blanche poultry, farm-range eggs, without forgetting the excellent homemade bread.1.8km
• Les Trois Rochers★ Michelin On the Odet estuary, opposite the pretty port of Bénodet, the view overlooks the sea on one side and a forest of pine and oak on the other… The magnificently located Hotel Villa Tri Men dates from the early 20C, when it was built by a Breton admiral as his home. The chef, who trained in Quimper and has worked in Brittany and Switzerland, aims above all to highlight the work of the artisans and producers of Brittany (most of whom are organic). He combines regional delicacies with spices from afar and fresh herbs on a constant quest to exalt the flavour. His langoustine ravioles and shellfish st13.9km
• Rosmadec Le Moulin★ Michelin 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.14.1km
• Ar Men Du★ Michelin Imagine wild moorland buffeted by the ocean with the rocky island of Raguenez glinting in the sunshine just a short distance away. Sustainable gastronomy is the name of the game here: the ingredients are strictly seasonal, harvested from the vegetable garden or sourced from small-scale producers, and the fish is caught locally. Comfortably seated with a view of the sea, diners enjoy Jérôme Gourmelen's dishes, characterised by well-defined flavours and careful presentation, eg his symphony of raw ikejime fish. Friendly service.14.4km
• L'Atelier du Nord 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 space1.5km
• Allium★ Michelin According to legend, bear’s garlic, a.k.a. as wild garlic or allium ursinum, starts to sprout at the same time as the brown bear leaves its lair after hibernation. After their winter fast, the hungry bears devour the young leaves, hence the name of this plant that has come to symbolise strength and fertility. Frédérique and Lionel Hénaff have opened the restaurant of their dreams outside Quimper’s town centre in a bid to celebrate Brittany’s gourmet produce. Seafood occupies a star role in their appetising cast, including scallops from the Bay of Morlaix and abalone. The chef’s inventive cuisi16.2km
• La Pointe du Cap Coz 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.3.2km
• ÉclosionBib This inventive modern bistro with a colourful, musical interior is run by two young talents. They serve hearty cuisine such as mushroom and coffee velouté with a celeriac brunoise and celeriac and coffee espuma – a wonderfully original starter. The lemon and pistachio condiment complements the freshness and balance of the fillet of flounder in pastry. Smiling and attentive service rounds off the experience, making you want to come back. Booking recommended.18.1km
• Sao On the quayside of the River Odet in Quimper city centre, Sao is the brainchild of talented young chef Kevin Gourret, formerly of the restaurant Le Goyen in Audierne. In an inviting contemporary setting, he serves up his original recipes inspired by regional ingredients (langoustine, local fish, seaweed, buckwheat, buttermilk) and Asian influences (such as ponzu, gomasio, sesame and ginger). The more ambitious evening menu reveals the full extent of his technical prowess, particularly his robust sauces and jus. The desserts are on a par – for example, a creation bringing together vanilla, ches18.0km
• Eskemm Not far from St Corentin Cathedral, this restaurant is housed in a stone building steeped in history. Behind the discreet façade, a small ground-floor lounge, a glass-walled cellar and, upstairs, an intimate dining space seating 20, done out in a beautiful blend of wood and stone. At once modern and firmly rooted in the Breton terroir, the cuisine also makes the occasional foray further afield. Creamy parsnip is combined with the sweetness of ricotta and pear. In the evening, the chef proposes a more ambitious multi-course set menu, plus a small à la carte menu. In fine weather, the quiet terr18.1km
