Luc Mobihan, Gault&Millau d'Or 2024 for the Brittany region

Luc Mobihan, Gault&Millau d'Or 2024 for the Brittany region

The chef at Le Saint-Placide restaurant in Saint-Malo was named Gault&Millau d'Or at the Gault&Millau Tour Bretagne 2024.

"I'm thrilled, it's really a great award, and not just for me, for my teams, my customers and my suppliers, because they too contribute directly or indirectly to our house going well." Luc Mobihan, chef at Saint-Placide in Saint-Malo, was named Gault&Millau d'Or at the Gault&Millau Tour Bretagne. The event was held this Monday, June 3, 2024 at Domaine Le Mezo, Vannes.

Arrival at Saint-Placide

After four years away from the stove, a friend of the chef's told him about "a small restaurant for sale" in Saint-Malo. It was the perfect opportunity for Luc Mobihan to take up his apron and "embark on this adventure" in 2003, almost 21 years ago. With his partner Isabelle in the dining room and a team of just a dozen people, he was awarded a 14/20 mark from the outset. The chef describes his cuisine as"world cuisine". I love the Indian Ocean and Asia, so of course I marry local products with those from other continents".

A proponent of a more flexible cuisine, Luc Mobihan has also decided to include a vegetarian menu on his menu, which has been entirely thought out so as not to be "the same without the animal protein", he explains. What's more, at Le Saint-Placide, you can eat à la carte or adapt your menu, a "flexibility" that's dear to Luc Mobihan's heart, so that his guests don't get "uptight" and enjoy a real moment of "pleasure".

Gault&Millau d'Or 2024

After just over twenty years, is this a fine reward? "Yes, it's a great reward, especially as it's something we weren't expecting at all, because it's not what I had in mind. With humility, the chef doesn't see this honor too much as recognition, but rather as the validation of long hard work "I prefer to imagine it as if someone said to me: Luc, every day, what you do, it's not too bad."
