Iodé

€€€Creative

Iodé is more than a name – it is a culinary identity, helmed by chef Sophie Reignier and pastry chef Julien Noray, who both discovered the world of catering late in life. They met at Alan Geaam in Paris and soon discovered how much they shared. Their eatery tells the tale of a Brittany off the beaten path, underscored by a love of seafood. Meticulously sourced premium ingredients, legible recipes, pared-back plating and forthright flavours, all of which with a liberal sprinkling of creativity: gravlax of mullet, eel lacquered in pomegranate molasses, fermented milk laced in kari gosse, jellied

This former guinguette on the quayside has been reinvented under the direction of Marine Nemesien and François Lagneaux and exudes lively charm.

The lunchtime formule is a simple affair; in the evening, a more elaborate à la carte menu where spider crab with Paimpol beans and lobster bisque sits alongside Rossini-style beef paleron, creamy celeriac and meat jus.
