14/20

Chef's Restaurant Warm Brazilian notes provide a musical backdrop to this former garage, skilfully transformed into a gourmet space. In their glass-fronted kitchens, Damien Le Quillec and his team focus on Breton heritage and pay homage to the chef's grandfathers. The technique is sure, the inspiration is not at half-mast, the dishes have spirit... So, yes, of course, sometimes we think that a little more simplicity wouldn't harm the whole. After a mouth-watering appetizer, the magnificent scallops from the Bay of Saint-Brieuc are served in carpaccio, lightly spiced with dill, lemon and a bitter Lannion beer emulsion. As for the warm foie gras, it's prepared in a rather unusual way, with gherkins - flame-burnt, frozen and brunoise - serving as a slightly too insistent companion... If you don't expect a hollandaise sauce, it's an interesting idea. Next up is the hare à la royale, which Damien executes quite honorably, even if the Corsican clementine and truffle marmalade fails to impress, as does the little porcini brioche. Lastly, let yourself be softened by the kumquat - in different textures - enhanced by a delicious chocolate sabayon. Aurelia's service is particularly attentive. The wine list is reassuring, with wines by Stéphane Ogier, Domaine Humbrecht, Vincent Dauvissat, Olivier Pithon, Eric Cottat, Yves Gangloff, Domaine Abbatucci... It's a pity that the menu is riddled with small typos.
