Guillaume Pape: towards a new gastronomic chapter in Concarneau

Guillaume Pape: towards a new gastronomic chapter in Concarneau

The chef behind L'Embrun restaurant in Brest is planning to move his kitchen to Concarneau, in the superb Stang-al-Lin manor house. The venue will also house a number of high-end suites.

Guillaume Pape, known for his creativity and his attachment to the Breton terroir, is about to write a new page in his culinary career. After making his mark on the Brest gastronomic scene with his restaurant L'Embrun, rated 2 toques by Gault&Millau, he plans to set up in Concarneau, in the exceptional setting of the Stang-al-Lin manor house.

The manoir: a historic setting for an ambitious project

Built in 1903 in neo-Gothic style, the manor house of Stang-al-Lin, once known as the "pink castle", overlooks the Moros pond and offers a breathtaking view of the region. This emblematic building, long inaccessible to the public, could soon become a mecca for Breton gastronomy. Guillaume Pape plans to open a gourmet restaurant here, along with a number of upscale suites to accommodate guests wishing to extend their experience.

True to his roots, Guillaume Pape aims to offer cuisine that reflects the Breton identity, highlighting local, seasonal produce. Between sea and land, this culinary philosophy is in keeping with his work in Brest, while adapting to this new setting, where modernity and history meet.

The project, still awaiting planning permission approval, involves the complete renovation of the manor house and the creation of an extension to accommodate a modern kitchen. If all goes according to plan, work will begin rapidly, with a hoped-for opening in summer 2026.

A thoughtful transition

Guillaume Pape has made no secret of his intention to sell his restaurant L'Embrun in Brest to devote himself fully to this new adventure. For him, the move represents an opportunity to start afresh, by creating an establishment that embodies his culinary universe and his attachment to the Breton region.

Transforming a place steeped in history into a welcoming space for the public is a major challenge. In addition to bringing the building up to standard, Guillaume Pape also wanted to restore the manor house to its original color, an emblematic pink that has left its mark on the minds of the people of Concarn. He has enlisted the help of Rennes-based architect Jérôme Levrel to restore the building to its former glory and reinvent it to accommodate up to 50 diners.

For the people of Concarn and lovers of fine dining, this future restaurant promises to be a destination not to be missed. In the meantime, all eyes are on approval of the building permit, expected by spring 2025, which will kick-start this gourmet adventure.
