Manoir du Guern

The decadently revamped Domaine de Locguénolé comprises a 19C château and an 18C Breton manor house set in 120ha of wooded grounds that are also home to a "farmyard" with chickens, goats, ducks and turkeys, as well as a kitchen garden, orchard and beehives that supply the restaurant. The luxurious and elegant dining area, reminiscent of the heyday of the East India Company, lies beneath an industrial-vibe conservatory structure surrounded by plants. This is the heady atmosphere in which chef Yann Maget (Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2023 and stints in top kitchens to his name) serves his precise

The name of this country house is a nod to the nearby island of Gavrinis. The chef, who trained under Pierre Gagnaire, captures the spirit of Brittany as he showcases the produce of this plentiful, vibrant region, with dishes like a medley of locally grown mushrooms (pleurote, shiitake), served roasted, in ravioles and in consommé or red mullet paired with a chervil coulis and a dressing of bone marrow and andouille, or John Dory, artichokes, cured meat, shellfish and a white wine sauce. A genuine gourmet halt, further enhanced by a ‘sustainable’ interior décor, adorned in driftwood and a soft

Ste-Anne-d'Auray is home to this family-run inn, whose chef is committed to short supply chains and his Auvergne roots. The authentic contemporary cuisine includes crispy pounti with plum; monkfish in red wine sauce, artichoke and salsify. This refined establishment with its bright dining space and friendly service is a lovely place for a meal. Pleasant game set menu in season.

In this peaceful village on the Gulf of Morbihan, this old crêperie has been given a new vocation by Sophie Coulombel and Rémi Vanoverschelde, both of whom honed their skills in some top-tier establishments. The first dining area looks onto the open kitchen; the second is laid out in a light-filled extension – the contemporary decor is inviting, as is the overall ambience. In the kitchen, Rémi makes full use of the large period fireplace for his wood-fired cooking, including barbacoa tacos, langoustine and confit pork ssam and sheep's cheese bao – all made with meticulously sourced ingredients

A bistro on the Domaine de Locguénolé, La Maison Alyette pays tribute to the château's former owner. Devised by chef Yann Maget (a Meilleur Ouvrier de France), the menu revolves around traditional cuisine made with quality local ingredients. The portions are generous – a case in point being the pork belly and its creamy fregola sarda risotto; the flavours are winning – take the whiting quenelles and their flavoursome bisque; the dishes are moreish – for instance the religieuse with caramel mousse and ice cream. Attractive lunch set menu. View of the gardens, and a lovely terrace.

This former guinguette on the quayside has been reinvented under the direction of Marine Nemesien and François Lagneaux and exudes lively charm. In a pared-back and inviting space, meticulous contemporary cuisine with international influences wins diners over. The lunchtime formule is a simple affair; in the evening, a more elaborate à la carte menu where spider crab with Paimpol beans and lobster bisque sits alongside Rossini-style beef paleron, creamy celeriac and meat jus. Precise cuissons and balanced flavours. An appealing little place!

Open only on weekday lunchtimes, this small restaurant with an experienced chef at the helm serves an indulgent but wallet-friendly menu-carte. His pleasant bistronomy cooking is inspired by the market, and includes dishes such as gurnard with Jerusalem artichokes and vegetable colombo, or caramelised veal breast, crispy polenta and parsley mushrooms.
