Gault&Millau's review 2026

In the center of Douarnenez, not far from the old port of Rosmeur, this hôtel de France is a recommended stopover, not only for the rooms but also for the table of Gaël Ruscart, Jeune Talent in 2012. He has since settled into his stride, enlivening this pretty house with classic, well-crafted cuisine, which we love to return to every year for its rigor and consistency. On the €67 menu, scallops pan-fried in butter, carrots in mousseline and crunchy salad with mustard seeds, grapes marinated in wild garlic vinegar, carrot-mandarin sorbet, a filet of st. Pierre pan-fried in salted butter, butternut mousseline and miso sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash, confit potatoes with Thai coriander cream, langoustine sauce, Rossini-style beef fillet, or chocolate cream with tonka bean, orange confit and dark chocolate rose des sables, cocoa nib emulsion and peated whisky ice cream. General cellar.
