In April 2025, after seven years in Saint-Brieuc, chef Jean-Jacques Monfort surprised everyone in Brioch by moving his restaurant Brut to the Port du Légué in Plérin, which is fast becoming the spot for lovers of tasty addresses. A few kilometers away, but the concept remains the same: to defend and promote Brittany's producers, breeders, market-gardeners and farmers, with a strong emphasis on Costarmoricains. From the very first page of the menu, all are mentioned: Jonathan for vegetables from Plédéliac, Marie-Anne for oyster mushrooms from La Harmoye, Marion for asparagus, Gwenaël for flowers and vegetables, Romain for cheeses and even Fanny for buffalo milk from Plédéliac. Using these products, Jean-Jacques Monfort composes a "terroirist" cuisine, seasonal and rather modern in its presentation, even if certain dishes sometimes resemble a juxtaposition of products that could be lightened up. We can't reproach the plates for being copious, but they would benefit from being more legible. Service is young, efficient and relaxed. The only downside is the wine list. While the Breton vineyards are in full development, but there are not yet enough vintages, a chef who so fiercely defends his terroir (no chocolate, no coffee, no vanilla on the menu or in the preparations), cannot afford to bring in wines from Faugères or Bergerac. There are enough riches to be found in the nearby Loire-Atlantique, Anjou, Saumurois and Vendée regions to build a wine list that matches the positioning of the cuisine.
