Les Hortensias de Kerbarch

Modernity meets conviviality at this gourmet getaway nestled in the Lann Roz hotel in Carnac. The brightly decorated restaurant exudes elegance with its carefully laid tables, shelves filled with cookery books, and contemporary touches. Having trained at Le Bristol and at Taillevent, chef Stéphane Cosnier elevates Breton produce with creativity and precision, while also embracing exotic flavours. Open ravioli with langoustines and artichokes in barigoule, line-caught red mullet with shellfish and green curry, or a delicate bourdaloue tart given a modern twist with strawberries: each plate tell

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

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.

A resolutely maritime atmosphere pervades this welcoming restaurant, an institution in La Trinité-sur-Mer since 1965. On the menu: seafood and fish, as well as a handful of options cooked on the open fire. Chef Rudy Deniaud's dishes are packed with textures and flavours, eg pollock served with Chantenay carrots, peas, raspberries and soy. There is a nice selection of wines and a terrace with a pleasant view of the harbour.

Between Carnac and Quiberon, this modern edifice, deep in the Brittany countryside, is a foodie’s paradise! Chef Charles Moreau has knocked around a bit from China to the Belgian kitchens of Sang Hoon Degeimbre (including the 2-star Air du Temps). He signs a spot-on, balanced score, dotted with iconic local delicacies and the odd creative note: Brittany whiskey, buckwheat, artichokes, oysters, gwell and Guéméné andouille. Concise, mainly organic and biodynamic wine list.

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!
