This granite-built farmhouse on the banks of the Aber Ildut cuts a picturesque figure with its large garden and lake. On the menu: the fish and seafood cuisine for which Brittany is so famed, eg fillet of pollack with lobster cream. A rustic setting in which to really unwind.

Brittany is full of magical places and the Abers region is one such!

In this charming, typically Breton granite house in the Kerinou neighbourhood in the centre of Brest, the atmosphere is contemporary and elegant. Tuck into colourful contemporary cuisine, in which chef Philippe Le Bigot sometimes gives expression to influences from further afield, although he does also make good use of local producers (fish, poultry, vegetables etc). In summer, make a beeline for the peaceful and pleasant terrace.
