Chambre indépendante au Manoir de la Célinais côté jardin

A vibrant, indulgent homage to the Brittany he knows and loves! Thriving in his native region, Ronan Kervarrec eschews trends in a bid to tell his personal and professional story through food. The culinary tale he conjures up here features buckwheat, buttermilk, fish, shellfish, butter, seaweed, gavotte (a thin, crispy pancake), chouchen (a local form of mead) and sablé breton. In tribute to his father, who was a saucier at the George V, the chef expertly executes a range of jus and sauces, which vary from intense to subtly flavoured. Floor to ceiling windows give onto a terrace overlooking th

When a talented chef from Rennes, Virginie Giboire, embraces her roots (or "Racines"), the result is pleasing, contemporary cuisine in the form of elegant dishes. Boasting an impressive wealth of experience (of which we will only mention her stints alongside Guy Martin and Thierry Marx who, she says, "taught her everything"), she delivers clever and well-defined cuisine that always hits the mark, proposed in a short menu. Interesting interplays of textures, subtle marriages of flavours, and always the finest ingredients, often from small-scale Breton producers. All served up in a lovely, brigh

(Temporarily closed, reopening planned for mid-September) “Cooking has always been a means of travel for me”, explains chef Julien Lemarié, who has plied his trade in London, Tokyo and Singapore. At his restaurant, Ima, which means “now” in Japanese, this talented culinary technician conjures up instinctive cuisine showcased on tasting menus that combine subtlety with regional and Asian influences. Lemarié enhances his dishes with broths, infusions, spices, aromatic plants and algae. And for those keen to enjoy the full Japanese experience, make sure you take a seat at the bar. It's now your t

The sprawling estate never fails to make an impression: a Classical 18C castle, a 19C water tower, works of art, a hotel made up of futuristic pods fixed to a central metal mast and, finally, the circular restaurant with a living roof that is reminiscent of a flying saucer that has landed in the middle of the vegetable garden. Chef Jérôme Jouadé draws on his true affinity with nature and plants to practise his art here. He also makes the most of a greenhouse, a snail pen and an orchard, and does his own wild picking. Pollack, red meat radish and wild garlic; skate wing, white asparagus from La

This restaurant is housed in a 16C building on a cobbled street in the town centre. The decor is chock-a-block with charming details: a large fireplace, stone window frames, exposed beams and colossal wooden branches from which the light fixtures hang. Your discreet hostess (who is also the pastry chef) and the chef, who can be seen fully focused and hard at work in the open kitchen, extend a smiling welcome to their guests. The seasons dictate the menu and the lunchtime lineup is a steal.

This charming, rustic16C presbytery in the heart of a photogenic country village on the road to Mont Saint Michel is home to a restaurant flanked by a cottage garden. The latter provides chef Thomas Benady with plenty of produce (veg, fruit, aromatic herbs, flowers…) and inspiration for his single set surprise menu. Benady also works with small local producers and independent fishermen. You can expect a veggie-led, seafood slant presented and plated in a modern, minimalist manner and steeped in the distinctive personality and character of its author. Examples: roast Jerusalem artichoke served

The epitome of a friendly neighbourhood bistro steeped in an irresistible buzzy vibe. Fezi means "home-made" in Brittany's Gallo language. Cédric Bruneau, the young owner-chef, prepares tasty, straightforward, market-fresh cuisine, favouring regional ingredients. Natural and biodynamic wines.
