This 16C manor house (once an orphanage) has been converted into a haven for food lovers. Guests are treated to fairly traditional cuisine – warm oysters, semi-cooked foie gras, catch of the day, pulled pork in a spice crust served with an aromatic reduction: tasty, well-crafted recipes all the way! The service is very attentive, and the terrace overlooking a lake is delightful, as are the lovely guestrooms.

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.
