Gault&Millau's review 2026

Hard-hit in late 2025 by significant water damage—which led Gaëtan and Fanny Morvan to rethink their offerings and operate with fewer staff than before—Lait Thym Sel seems to have lost some of its original magic. Admittedly, the (sound) principles remain—such as the commitment to using only seasonal, predominantly local ingredients, offering almost exclusively organic or natural wines, and allowing customers to take home any uneaten bread— and Fanny and Gaëtan’s culinary skill has certainly not faded, as evidenced by their beautiful interpretation of Breton trout “à contre-courant”—full of delicacy and nuance—or their savory Mayenne poultry with lake pearls. A superb wine list, curated with wisdom and discernment, offers a coherent selection by the glass, though the service sometimes seems to be on autopilot.
