Located in La Trinité-sur-Mer, L'Azimut offers modern cuisine with harbor views, particularly from its terrace. Reviews frequently praise the high-quality ingredients, skilled cooking (including fireplace techniques), and generally professional service, making it suitable for special occasions like birthdays. However, experiences vary significantly. Negative feedback highlights inconsistent service, including unfriendly or arrogant staff, and issues with meal pacing where courses arrive too quickly. Some diners reported mediocre food quality, citing bland main courses, overly salty desserts, or small portions. Value perceptions also differ, with some feeling the cost does not match the experience, especially when using discount vouchers. Overall, while many enjoy excellent meals and ambiance, others face disappointment due to service attitude and culinary inconsistency.
Suitable for diners seeking refined modern cuisine and harbor views, but verify service quality during peak times.
€€Contemporary
In the heart of Carnac-Plage, just a stone's throw from the sandy beach and the sea, Hôtel Le Celtique sports a magnificent Art deco-inspired interior. The menu features a happy marriage of purebred tradition and modern inspirations, with the occasional exotic note, depicted by monkfish flanked by confit potatoes, ginger and coconut.
€€Creative, Farm to table
The Basque overtones of this Brittany eatery are due to Erwann Le Pogam, a Breton who grew up in Southwest France and who worked in the film industry before he made the inspired decision to turn to cooking. Unfettered and unblinkered, the man pursues a single goal: fine, fresh, wholesome food that respects the produce, the producer and the customer. A few examples from the set menus (which change frequently with the seasons): pan-seared foie gras, common prawn, green beans and consommé of mushrooms; grilled, line-caught red tuna, Laos green pepper sauce… The lunchtime menu is a steal!
