In the peaceful commune of Sarzeau, Brittany, you'll find an exceptional restaurant: Les Jardins de Kerstéphanie. At the helm of this gastronomic treasure trove is Emmanuel Kouri, a passionate and visionary chef who has elevated his establishment to one of the most prestigious in the world, winning 3 toques from Gault & Millau. Driven by a deep love of the Breton terroir, Emmanuel Kouri never ceases to sublimate products of rare quality, carefully selected from local artisans and producers whom he values and with whom he works closely.

Today, he reveals five names that are important to him: men and women whose know-how and commitment resonate in every dish he creates. An ode to craftsmanship and taste, and an invitation to our readers to discover the inspiring addresses that bring Breton gastronomy to life.

Dairy products from Ferme Terezh, Berric

For Emmanuel Kouri, the quality of his dairy products is essential, and it's only natural that he should turn to Fabrice and Malika Delalande, passionate producers at Ferme Laitière "Terezh" in Berric. Farmhouse butters, fromage frais and other dairy products from their artisanal know-how are used in the chef's creations. "You can find their products at Les Halles des Lices in Vannes or at the "Court Circuit" store in Sarzeau", explains the chef.

La Clef des Champs products are available at the Sarzeau market and at the Court Circuit store, for those wishing to discover this exceptional terroir.
