After selling his Sources restaurant in Lorient, Nicolas Le Tirrand will become Executive Chef of Hôtel Les Mouettes in Larmor-Plage. The hotel will feature two distinct restaurants.

A new chapter for Nicolas Le Tirrand: from spring 2025, he will be working as executive chef and partner at Hôtel Les Mouettes in Larmor-Plage, in collaboration with owner Gérard Le Faouder and associate director Frédéric Avignon. After proving himself at the Sources restaurant (3 toques) in Lorient, which he recently sold and where he will officiate until the end of February 2025, Nicolas Le Tirrand is set to transform Les Mouettes' culinary offering into a contemporary tribute to marine flavors.

One hotel, two restaurants

The adventure begins in March 2025, with the opening of a seasonal bistro within the hotel, where the chef will offer cuisine rooted in the terroir, highlighting the freshness and diversity of Breton produce. True to his vision of simple, respectful cuisine, Nicolas Le Tirrand aims to create a welcoming place where the best of coastal produce will be sublimated in authentic, refined dishes. "We'll be offering pretty much the same thing as we already do at the hotel restaurant, but with my own personal touch," he explains.

But the culinary innovation of Les Mouettes won't stop there: after major renovations starting at the end of 2025, a gourmet restaurant will complete the offer with a high-end menu, also based on the marine world. This large-scale project, which has taken a long time to mature, aims to make Hôtel Les Mouettes a must-visit destination for lovers of ocean-inspired cuisine. "In 2026, we'll be pushing the button," he laughs.

For Nicolas Le Tirrand, this commitment is a natural progression in his career, allowing him to anchor his expertise in a place with unique potential, where he will continue to explore marine flavors in all their forms. "I'm originally from Larmor-Plage and I worked in this hotel twenty-one years ago, just before moving to Paris. It's a return to my roots in a place I'm particularly fond of, very peaceful, with the customs path between the beach and the terrace. Opposite, there's the ocean, and behind, the hotel is surrounded by nature.it makes you want to achieve great things," concludes Nicolas Le Tirrand, clearly looking forward to this new adventure.
