The restaurant of Hotel Castelbrac is named after the boat of Commander Charcot, a famous polar explorer. Born in Dinan, chef Julien Hennote has also explored other culinary universes, from the French Riviera to Polynesia. His cooking is testament to his fondness for produce of the local terroir and for sustainable coastal fishing (such as hand-dived scallops and abalone, lobster and seaweed) – demonstrating his respect for resources. His ambitious and elegant dishes abound with flavour; the desserts are wickedly decadent. Cosy dining area and panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, with Saint
WebsiteSheltered from St-Malo’s tourist hordes in a district popular with the locals, this handsome contemporary fine dining establishment is the HQ of chef Luc Mobihan, a wizard when it comes to fish, seafood and regional veggies. He finetunes an enticing repertory in the zeitgeist, such as seared scallops with leeks and truffles, or abalone with a garlic foam. Meanwhile, his wife Isabelle gives free rein to her love of table arts and her passion for fine wines (Champagne, Loire, Burgundy, etc.). Suitably slick service.
WebsiteLudivine La Rosa and Alexandre Frin run this restaurant in an attractive early-20C red-brick building near the sea, with picture windows with small panes and white frames. The chef composes a modern, open-minded and 100% seasonal menu that keeps things simple: just good ingredients (preferably with short supply chains) and aromatic herbs and flowers from the kitchen garden. Nearby PEP'S is the pair's second venture, which revolves around simpler cuisine and dishes for sharing.
WebsiteIn a cosy, contemporary interior, enjoying lunch with a magnificent view over the bay of Le Prieuré promises to be a memorable experience. As they drink in the open sea, gourmets will appreciate the creative cuisine of chef-owner Didier Méril. His top-notch seasonal produce comes mainly from the market and local fisheries (Jerusalem artichokes showcased in a variety of textures and shellfish marinière; mackerel, spaghetti squash and a fish head jus finished with butter; pear tartlet with almond crisp, Tonka bean vanilla cream and pear sorbet). Good value for money at lunchtime.
WebsiteWelcome to Caroline and Étienne Corson's eminently hospitable eatery! She is in charge of proceedings front of house and extends a warm welcome; the chef's cooking is a masterclass in showcasing Brittany's fine, seasonal ingredients, which are spotlighted in dishes such as slow-cooked egg, Jerusalem artichoke cream and foie gras royale; lamb confit, seasonal vegetables and a reduced jus... Booking is recommended, as seating is limited in the inviting little dining room.
WebsiteBreizh Café is the result of a stroke of genius: the idea of mixing Breton traditions with the Japanese flair for presentation. Inviting modern decor with a counter facing the open kitchen, as in Japan. Local ingredients (100% organic buckwheat, oysters from Cancale, butter from Bordier) and a few contemporary touches, such as buckwheat pancakes rolled up like maki. Good choice of ciders.
WebsiteWhile the interior, with its picture windows, is very pleasant, it is outdone by the knockout south-facing terrace just above the picturesque Bec de la Vallée slipway. It is the perfect place to sample fine seafood, as well as classics from Brittany's terroir, e.g. local country bacon or far Breton (traditional flan-style dessert).
WebsiteWithin the city walls, a handful of tables set up on the pavement; inside, a compact, contemporary space with a corrugated iron wall section and the menu featuring on enamelled tiles: this house (doma in Slavonic) catches the eye and whets the appetite! Colourful dishes that showcase the season.
