Gault&Millau's review 2026

A charming spot where Breton heritage and seasonal cuisine come together in an authentic setting full of character. Nestled in the heart of the village, this renovated former blacksmith’s shop captivates guests first and foremost with its atmosphere. Stone walls, an old fireplace, a large suspended bellows, and tasteful decor create a particularly welcoming setting. The cuisine showcases high-quality ingredients and wild herbs. On the menu, Breton lobster with wild garlic, served with a tansy fritter and wild asparagus, delights with its aromatic complexity and the originality of its pairings. The fish—line-caught sea bass with zucchini skin, served with a beurre blanc made with ground ivy—showcases cuisine deeply rooted in its region. Even if the cooking could occasionally be slightly improved, the overall experience in no way detracts from the excellence of the flavors on offer. The meal concludes with a delightful “Eclat céleste,” a decadent dessert combining three varieties of chocolate with the freshness of raspberries. The wine list, intentionally limited, offers a cohesive selection of wines from the Loire, Burgundy, and the Rhône Valley at reasonable prices.
