€€Traditional Cuisine
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.

This restaurant on the Rhuys Peninsula, the result of a fruitful collaboration between two seasoned chefs, is nestled in an authentic Breton building recognisable by its stone façade and blue door and window frames. The interior of this contemporary bistro blends traditional and modern elements, with exposed beams, a period fireplace and open kitchen. On the menu, hearty and perfectly executed recipes celebrate Brittany's terroir – the leek, andouille and mustard tart is the epitome of finesse and indulgence. In addition to an enticing lunch deal, the menu-carte is particularly appealing.

A stone's throw from the church, Église St Saturnin, this hotel-restaurant is housed in a handsome stone-built 17C Breton residence. The name pays homage to Alain-René Lesage, a native of Sarzeau and author of the picaresque novel Gil Blas. The interior is as charming as the outside promises: exposed beams, old terracotta floor tiles and a fireplace; a smattering of paintings by local artists add a contemporary touch. In the kitchen, the young chef cooks up delicious dishes, perfectly balancing textures and temperatures, and using high-quality ingredients, such as strips of squid, which he sea

This old stone farmstead smothered in Virginia creeper and set in wooded grounds is the HQ of Emmanuel Kouri, previously encountered at Les Climats (Paris). Mindful of the provenance of his produce (line-caught fish, organic market gardeners, local dairy produce), he crafts a predominantly seafood score, like flame-licked young mackerel, carrots in verjuice and nasturtium leaves or pearlescent monkfish, courgette dip, marinière of shellfish and salsa verde. To be enjoyed on the shaded terrace in fine weather.
